Dress and g-string - dress discontinued by DreamGirl - review by CynicallyYours

I have decided that everyone should go ahead and buy this dress. When it comes out of the box it is very, very, very small. Laid flat, the body of it is only a few inches across, I’d say maybe 6-8 inches across. This is one of those annoying “one size fits most” which, for those who don’t know, actually means one size kinda fits women who are sorta size 0-12…kinda.

Being plus size, this is usually a lost cause for me, except in certain situations. Anything that requires a more precise fit, corsets, and more structured or tailored garments and such, are not going to work if they are not my size. However, I often buy things like this “dress” and other stretchy “one-size” garments because I know that if it fits the tiny model like a dress, it will fit me like a shirt or cami.

So I took a gamble and ordered this hoping it would fit more or less like a sparkly, tight fitting, long sleeve shirt. My hopes evaporated when I took it out of the package and saw how ridiculously small it was. However, I tugged at it and the fabric had a lot of give. I still didn’t see any chance of size 18-22 me fitting into what seemed like the leg of a pair of tights for me.

I had resolved to just give it away or send it back but I couldn’t get rid of the nagging idea that I should try it on…somehow. So, with a lot of stretching and far less effort than I expected, I actually managed to get the silly thing on. No one was more surprised than me (mainly because I was the only one there).

As anticipated originally, it fits me like a tight fitting shirt. It is very sparkly and of course quite see through. It is see through to begin with, it only gets more see through with stretching. However, even stretched over me it is more opaque than I would have thought. I wouldn’t wear it in public without something underneath for regular use. I actually like to use it for layering when I want long sleeves under something else. It also looks awesome with a set of pasties showing through the fabric.

It’s a tad pricy for what it is but thus far it’s surprisingly durable and I’ve ended up using it several times for club wear type scenarios. It has a nice sparkle without hitting disco ball territory and the off the shoulder style looks good.

The thong panty that comes with it is kind of an afterthought. There isn’t much to it. If you are closer to the size range this was designed for it’s a very basic thong. If you’re bigger like me it’s fairly useless.

I have gotten way more use out of this than I ever thought I would. I pretty much think everyone should have one in their closet. I throw it on under things when I want sleeves with a little sparkle. When I'm feeling bold I wear it alone or with pasties or a cute bra underneath! It's held up well to a lot of stretching and plenty of washings!
