Design:
The Naughty Nymph gown has a long skirt & a flared, handkerchief hem. The skirt slims as it gets closer to the waist & has a strip of magenta lace below the lace bust pieces. The bust pieces have a hem down the center & straps coming off the top. The straps cross over the back, which is open to the waist.

The design is simple & seductive. The lace bust pieces hide the nipples well but do not add any support. The straps add a touch of sexy support to help keep the bust pieces in place.

The waist flows gently to a wider hem & adds curves while the hem adds a floating motion with every step. Make it sway while you walk for the ultimate tease. The sheer material adds an erotic bit of naughtiness; allowing brief peeks to complete the seduction.

Quality:
The quality of the material is decent. The nylon runs & puckers when it develops a loose string. I caught mine on my fingernail & had to slowly pull the string back out. The pucker & separation of the material is still visible, but does not detract too much from the overall appearance since it is at the bottom of the skirt.

The lace is pretty & is very durable, but the edges are unfinished and are starting to unravel & ball up. The seams are well done & secure with no loose threads. The hemline is finished with a very small satin stitch. The material quality & the craftsmanship does not match up to the price tag.

Material:
The gown is made of 100% Polyester. The skirt is very thin and sheer. It is more of a gauzy material and is slightly rough to the touch. This reminds me of the sheer head scarves my grandmother wore over her curlers. This material will catch, run and have long, loose threads that causes puckers in the material.

The lace on the bust cups is a couple shades brighter than the skirt material. It is semi-sheer, your partner will really have to look closely to see your nipples, but they are visible. The material has no stretch at all from side to side, but will stretch a few inches up and down. There is no support, other than the cross straps. The straps are narrow and are adjustable.

Fit:
The bust holds my breasts in place, but more as a nipple and center cover strip. There is no actual support to show cleavage or to make them perkier. The sides of the bust area are open and my busts fall out if I bend over, lay down, move too fast or make other sudden motions.

The waist is a perfect fit. If you have an underbust or waist size over 30"--do NOT buy this in a large!! The maximum circumference is 30" and there is absolutely no stretch to the material. You can pull the waist area up to the smallest area of your rib cage or wear it as designed at the waist. I wear it both ways, depending on my comfort level.

I am 5'2" and the skirt drags on the ground. If I do not have my heels on, I step on the longer areas and it has tripped me up a few times. This is better suited for taller people. However, you can pull the waist up to shorten the skirt.

Care & Storage:
Hand wash in cold water. Use a mild detergent, such as Ivory, Dreft, Woolite or Dona Lingerie Wash to preserve the material. Air dry the gown--do NOT put this material in the dryer! A dryer will melt the sheer skirt area. You also cannot use bleach.

You can store the gown on a hanger in your closet, roll it up and store it in a lingerie drawer or fold it neatly. The material does not wrinkle and is great for traveling and also takes up minimal room in your luggage.

Likes:
I love the color, floating hem and design. The design is very seductive and pretty and the little touches add to the elegance. The floaty skirt makes me feel like a princess and the look on my hubby's face makes me feel like a porn star.

Dislikes:
I do not like the fragility of the material, but do understand it cannot be helped. The elastic around the open back is uncomfortable after awhile and the design of the waist narrows down the amount of people who can wear this gown.

The bust needs a bit more stretch and support and the skirt needs to be a bit shorter to accommodate more heights.

My Measurements: 43D Breast - 30" Waist - 42" Hips - 28" Inseam - 22" Thighs - 5"2" Tall & 150 Lbs.

One of my favorite gowns, the color is fabulous! I like the design but do wish the material was a bit stretchy. It gets a bit tight on the waist when I have my 'fat' days. The cups allow the boobs to fall out when bending over, turning fast or while busy--I find it irritating, but my hubby loves that feature!

Great choice for those who can fit into this one, but check my measurements carefully, there is not much room for larger sizes, especially in the waist area!
