Not for the skinny.
It's an affordable lingerie set that has a simple design and is easy to put on and take off. However, the material feels somewhat rough and very thin women may find that the design isn't flattering to their figure.Published: October 4, 2009
Pros:
Lightweight. Easy to put on and take off.
Cons:
Not very soft. The fit was off.
This sassy chemise by Fantasy Lingerie comes with a matching black g-string and sports a simple design. The front is solid, with spaghetti straps to tie around the neck and two fabric tresses at the bottom that wrap around and tie with spaghetti straps behind you, leaving your back exposed. There is a third strap that goes around the mid-back area and under the breasts, which is not adjustable. A four-stranded faux necklace set with clear crystals is attached to the neck straps, adding a bit of bling to the outfit.
The workmanship is good, with finely-sewn serger seams that have no frays or loose threads, and the hemline is also sergered.
The set is made of thin semi-sheer polyester fabric that has a somewhat rough feel to it. It's not super scratchy and doesn't chafe or anything, but for people like me who have sensitive skin it isn't likely to be a favorite comfort-wise. There is no lining in either the G-string or the chemise.
The sizing for this outfit runs way small. Fantasy Lingerie lists size small as being for women who wear clothing sizes 6-8, have a 35-37" bust. I wear a size 2-4 in clothing, and have roughly a 33" bust measurement, but there is no way the small chemise would have fit someone larger than me comfortably. There is an non-adjustable band of elastic strap that goes under the breasts and around the chest, and it was snug on me. On the other hand, the spaghetti straps to tie at the hip/waist area were ridiculously long; long enough that I had to wrap them around me and tie it in the front and the back overlapped enough to look rather unattractive then. Additionally, the lower hem of the chemise didn't go down to the hips as the picture shows; it only reached about 2" below my navel.
The Lingerie set is machine washable on gentle cycle with cold water, but you can't put it in the dryer. I strongly suggest putting it in a pillow case or lingerie bag before washing so none of the straps get stuck in the machine or tangled around other items. I've washed mine twice now, and with the exception of a little fraying at the very ends of the spaghetti straps, everything held up fine. You could likely prevent this fraying by putting clear nail polish (which is permanent) on the ends before washing.

Experience
Michele says:
I like the design of this lingerie in general, but all in all I wasn't comfortable wearing it. The chemise just seemed to hang off my body in an unattractive way and made me look more scrawny than I actually am. In all fairness, it probably would look nice on a larger more curvaceous woman, but it just didn't seem to look that great on me.
Alan says:
I thought this outfit was pretty cute, although it wasn't as soft as I usually like to feel. One big plus was the necklace part--- it had a tendency to tap against my balls when I was getting a blowjob, which added some extra sensation there.

Thank you for viewing Loungerie chemise – chemise and panty set review page!
In the image, you can see some sort of strap across the front of the hips area - is that the doubling back you talked of?
Also, just curious but are you a tall lady?
It may be, but for me it simply crossed once in the back and I wound up tying it in the front so it didn't look like that.
No, I'm only 5' 2" so if it was short on me then I'd imagine it would be on others too. If you look at the photo that shows the rear view, where you see the lower spaghetti strap on the back is where the bottom hem of the chemise was when I wore it.
That's too bad - this is a cute set.
Thanks for mentioning that the G-string is not lined. Unfortunately that's a deal breaker for me--weird pet peeve I guess. It looks so cute, I'm sorry it didn't make you feel fabulous!
Hannah-- yeah that's a pet peeve of mine too, so I know what you mean.
Thanks for the review!
