Carried away chemise and thong - chemise discontinued by DreamGirl - review by Cori

The Carried Away Chemise and Thong set is a cute little set with just enough fem and frill without making you look like a pastry. However, the word "chemise" doesn't correctly describe this piece, it's more of a top, unless maybe you have the world's smallest torso.

This set includes the top and a thong. It is available in white with black accents and bright pink with black accents.

The Top: The top is made of 90% Polyester and 10% Spandex. It is made mostly of soft, solid colored mesh on the sides, back, and at the back closure. The mid-section of the top, the cups, and the tiered "skirt" portion are made of a stiff faux satin. There's a small cut-out in the back where there is the hook and eye closure with three size settings. The cups feature plastic underwire and light padding. The straps are black and fully adjustable.

The "chemise" is adorned with two large bows in the front: one between the cups and one in the middle of the bottom section where the ruffled bottom piece begins. The backside also features a large black bow under the cut-out portion and just above the tiered bottom piece. The cups are outlined in a black lace with an intricate pattern. The length of the top also featured a ruffled lace at the seam where the mesh and satin meet. There is also ruffled lace along the seam above the ruffled "skirt" in the front only. In the middle of the back underneath the large bow and above the pleated skirt the mesh is lightly ruched for a cute effect. The top hits me right at the top of my thighs, hence why I call it a top and not a chemise.

The Thong: The thong is made of the satin fabric and is rather stiff at first. I was concerned with how wide it appeared towards the back but it actually worked out nicely. It was just as comfortable as you would imagine a thong to be. It is lined and the elastic bands are stretchy enough to fit comfortably on your hip.

I weigh in the realm of 130lbs. I wear a 34B, I'm 5'5", and I typically wear a size 5 in jeans. I ordered a small and although the top was a tad bit snug in the stomach area, the thong fit just fine and I don't think I could've gone a size up without having the top swallow my itty bitty titties. However, if you have larger breasts and are otherwise smaller, I'd suggest going a size up.

The Dream Girl size chart:
S - Size 2-6, Cup A-B, Bust 32-34, Waist 24-26, Hip 34-36, Weight 90-120lbs
M - Size 6-10, Cup B-C, Bust 34-36, Waist 26-28, Hip 36-38, Weight 120-140lbs
L - Size 10-14, Cup C-D, Bust 36-38, Waist 28-32, Hip 38-40, Weight 140-150lbs

Overall: This set is extremely well made. I found not one loose thread and blemish in the fabric or rips in the lace or mesh. I was extremely pleased with the craftsmanship. Another important factor for me is the support and lift in the bust area, and I wasn't let down in that department either. I'd say the size is true, except in cases where you have larger breasts and ordering a size up would be beneficial. My only complaints would be the shortness of the top (I don't have a long torso at all!) and the slight itchyness after wearing this set for a while.

Suggested washing for this set is hand wash with cold water and hang to dry. I put mine in the wash on delicates with cold water in a lingerie bag and hung it to dry and finished it with 10 minutes in the dryer on low heat and all was well. No skrinkage or damage done.
