Star gazer chemise - chemise discontinued by Escante - review by Femme Mystique

This piece is absolutely stunning. I'm pretty new to lingerie, and this is one of the first pieces I've ever owned. This chemise is made from beautiful teal mesh and lace (the fibers are 89% nylon and 11% elastane, which is also known as spandex), and the fabric is surprisingly more durable than I would have guessed. The material should be put on and taken off carefully, but it's not so delicate that a hangnail would damage it, for example. Because of the delicate materials used, this should hand washed and hung up to dry. I would not recommend putting this in a washing machine, even with a lingerie bag.

The color is much more vibrant than the picture suggests, and I was originally shocked at the boldness of it, but it's growing on me. Though my measurements range from small to large, depending on which area I was measuring, I ordered a medium in hopes that it would accommodate my bust. The sizing for the medium is below, with my measurements in parentheses:

Size: 6-10 (2)
Waist: 28-30" (26")
Hips: 32-34" (35")
Bust: 34-36" (35")
Bra: 34B-36C (32DD/34D)
Weight: 120-140 lbs. (112 lbs.)



Because only one of my measurements fit into the medium range, I was worried that this might not fit very well, but fortunately, this fit my body beautifully. It is fitted and hugs my curves nicely without looking like it's too tight in any area. The cups, which were the area of greatest concern for me, fit and give me amazing cleavage without showing my nipples. The underwire gives nice lift without creating weird side boobs or making it look like my breasts are being cut in half. The top should fit most women with at least a moderate B cup. The cups would probably not flatter breasts any smaller than that, however, and they may also not fit women with larger D's.

The front of this is mostly mesh with lace cups and a thick lace border at the hem line. There is a little bow between the cups made of light blue satin ribbon, but this is the only bow on the chemise. The back is also mostly mesh and has a band like a bra would have, except it doesn't have any sort of closures. Below the bra band in the back is a fairly large keyhole. It shows a good portion of the back but isn't so low that your underwear would stick out above the bottom hem. The bottom has a very thick piece of floral print lace, which is not exactly like the lace on the cups, but it is very similar. The top has adjustable straps just like a bra would.





I was also really impressed with how comfortable this piece is. The lace and mesh are both very soft, and this could be worn for an extended period of time with no issues. I did not try the G-string, as this type of underwear does not appeal to me, but it feels like it would also be reasonably comfortable if you are interested in this type of underwear. It is made of the same mesh as the chemise with a cotton liner that's sewn on the sides and open at the front.



I was a little surprised at just how short this chemise was. I'm 5'6" with an average length torso, and I found that out just barely covered my butt. For someone taller or with a longer torso, this may not work as well.

Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase. It's a unique color, it's comfortable, and it feels and looks like a much more expensive piece than the sticker price would suggest.

I actually had the opportunity to try this out on my partner. One thing I really love about this chemise is that it can easily be worn under clothing. I wore mine under a button down shirt dress and my partner didn't suspect a thing until I unveiled the surprise.

I don't wear g strings, so I found a pair of light grey-blue bikini cut panties that match the satin bow between the cups. I felt very sexy in this ensemble and so comfortable, even though I was wearing the chemise under clothing for a few hours. I am very impressed with this piece!
