The fabric and lace on this chemise are great, but I can't wear it without feeling like I glow in the dark. The color is not sexy and not flattering. If it was offered in more flattering colors it would be a great piece.

So first of all, this product is listed as a coral colored. It is certainly not coral, but rather a bright neon orange. When I opened the package I was shocked by the hideous color of the lingerie. It does not flatter my skin tone at all, and it is hard to imagine anyone who would look good in this chemise.
I ordered the chemise in a Queen size. It came in the package shown above, which is recyclable. It is a stretch mesh chemise with black lace trim on the bust and the hem of the chemise. It came with a matching non-flattering, bright orange thong. The package states that it fits anyone sizes 165-275 lbs. I am a size 16/18, and I have to say this would not fit anyone in the upper end of this weight range. Tall people should also stay away, as I am 5'3" and it was really short on me. Otherwise, the fit of the chemise was great once I adjusted the shoulder straps appropriately.
The mesh fabric is very light and comfortable. The lace trim is soft and does not itch or scratch. This chemise is great for warm summer nights because it is so light and breathable. The shoulder straps are comfortable and did not dig into the skin. The thong does not flatter, and did not look good. However, the chemise looked fine with some black lacy underwear that I already owned. The fabric is delicate and can easily tear so hand washing or washing on the delicate cycle is a must.
The bottom line is that I can live with the chemise being short. I love the fabric and the cut so much, but the color is terrible. I tried it on and while my partner loved the way it fit, we both got a laugh at how unflattering the color is to my skin tone. I'm considering returning it because of how much I hate the color. I would buy this in a different color and love it, but this color is an epic fail.
Follow-up commentaryI still don't like it2 days after original review
I have decided to return this product and get a different piece of lingerie. I loved the cut and the fabric, but still cannot stand the color. The color looks much more muted in the photo than it actually is on the product. The only other color that this chemise comes in is a bright neon yellow, which I already know would not flatter my skin tone. I hope they release some different colors with this product.
