Pink champagne dress - mini dress discontinued by DreamGirl - review by clp

The Pink Champagne Dress by Dreamgirl is a gorgeous, classy piece that is just as stunning in life as it is in the pictures. It covers just enough to be demurely sexy, but still short and versatile enough to wear during play. If you are looking for a modest alternative to lingerie, the Pink Champagne dress is exactly what you've been dreaming of.

The dress itself is made of a very soft polyester blend, and the fabric has just enough sheen to capture light without looking tacky. The pink top is worn halter-style. The ties feature a 'jeweled' piece of overlapping circles, which is a fairly sturdy rhinestone part. I've had previous pieces on lingerie like this, though, and while the actual structure maintained its shape, the rhinestones tend to fall out after machine washing. If you'd like to keep your rhinestones intact, plan on hand-washing or dry-cleaning this item.

While the halter style is flattering to the eye, the actual cups themselves offer very little support. The inside of each pink side has a thin foam shape (think: rounded triangle) meant to help shape, but I found it to be very disagreeable. I am a full C-D cup, and the foam pieces did not help whatsoever. A related problem that I found was that, due to the halter style and lack of support from the cups, I tended to tie the straps tighter (to overcompensate for lack of support--I want to show the goods off!). Doing so caused the ties to dig into my neck a little, so I had to decide between a loose tie with little breast support or a tight tie with better support.
If this kind of decision is going to bother you, you may want to wear a strapless bra beneath the dress, but I didn't mind as this is a dress I'd wear for myself and my partner only.

The black bottom is a bubble skirt-style cut that is gathered on the top layer. The gathering band at the waist hides any tummy problems you may have and is just tight enough to keep your silhouette intact. The inside of the skirt hugs against the hips comfortably, allowing the top layer to fall beautifully without a fear of bunching. The skirt piece itself is pretty short; I found that standing straight hit at mid-thigh, but bending over caused the back to ride up and give watching eyes a show (perfect for a private viewing, but may be a problem if you plan to wear out!).

I found that this dress fit and looks just as beautiful as the picture shows; this is a very safe step between modest to more revealing lingerie. It can work as a nightgown, or a dress on the town, just depending on your preference. With proper care and cleaning, you will get lots of enjoyment out of this dress!

I adore the fit of this dress, and find it very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. A plus is that the cups will move and adjust, so I was able to pull them aside for breast play without damaging or tearing the top. I love that this dress offers the best of both worlds--a pretty, classy cut that covers just enough skin to leave you wanting, but still short enough to move out of the way or pull up during play.

While the dress is comfortable enough to wear to sleep, I have only worn it on 'special nights' when I want to look pretty during foreplay. I can forsee that regular use may wear down on the shape of the dress or stretch the fabric past a point of recovery. I am very pleased with the construction of this dress, and feel it will withstand many uses if cared for properly.
