Cute Salute sailor - costume discontinued by DreamGirl - review by Jul!a

This awesome outfit is the perfect addition to any wardrobe if you have a uniform fetish, or even if you just like dressing up every now and then. Sure, it won't satisfy those with a fetish for just uniforms, but it provides a very sexy, stylized twist on a more traditional outfit.

In a first for me, I ordered a size up. I have another dress by Dreamgirl, and while it did fit me nicely, I wanted the potential to be able to wear this out of the house, and I went with the medium to give me some added length in the bottom. Another added benefit of ordering a size up was that I didn't have a problem with visible panty lines as much as I thought I might. The one big down side: my boobs don't fit in the cups, at all, even with a giant padded bra. However even that can be fixed by sewing the bottom of the cups together so that they cover a bit more.

For reference, Dreamgirls' size chart for the medium vs my own measurements:
They say a dress size of 6-10, cup size B-C, bust of 34"-36", waist of 26"-28", hips of 36"-38", and a weight of 120-140. I'm about a size 4, B cup, around my bust measures about 31", underneath measures about 28 1/2", 25" waist and 33" hips and I weight about 105. On me, everything was comfortably loose, except the cups, which were just way too big.

What you're getting here is the dress, a pair of gloves, and a hat. The gloves are listed as a one size. They'll fit smaller hands pretty well, and if you have rings or anything underneath, you'll be able to make them out. They should sit right at the base of the heel of your hand, and they each have a lovely navy blue bow on the top of the wrist. The tag on the inside of the gloves says that they're 90% Polyester and 10% Spandex and can be hand washed in cold water and line dried. The hat is meant to sit on top of your head, and if you don't bend over much with it on, it'll stay put. Otherwise you can use a few bobby pins through the small elastic band on either side of the hat to keep it in place if you're planning on wearing it out anywhere. On the front is an anchor in navy blue sequins. There's a tag that tells you it's 100% cotton and dry clean only.



Now for the dress. Because it's 90% Polyester and 10% Spandex, it does have a lot of stretch to it. However, because the material is so thin, it will show pretty much everything underneath; from panty lines to contours of your body. This means that if you have anything you want to hide, you should also wear some shapewear underneath. It's one of the more conservative pieces, covering the entire back, and if it's long enough, the entire butt. Most of the body is navy blue, and feels very soft and silky, on the body and to the touch. The cups and the straps are white with navy blue sequins for accents, and where the straps meet the top of the back of the dress, there's a 12"x10" panel with more blue sequins, both as an accent line about an inch in, and in the form of an anchor. There's another anchor ornament between the cups. The bottom features some soft white netting all the way around. You can rouche the sides at will, taking the total length from the armpit down from 25" to 19 1/2". If you've ordered a size up, you should still be able to cover your butt, if you ordered the right size, your butt might be peeking out now.

The dress is labeled as dry clean only. I myself would feel comfortable washing it on cool and low in a lingerie bag or pillow case and then letting it air dry. It can be hung up for storage, or you can fold it nicely and put it bag in the large plastic bag/case it came in. It doesn't seem to wrinkle, so you could even ball it up and shove it in the back of a drawer if you really wanted. As for the construction, the only thing I see ever falling off is the anchor between the cups, and the bows on the gloves. If you're real rough, you might lose some sequins here and there, but for the most part, this should hold up to a lot of play.

I wanted to try and show you everything here, so pardon the picture wall:

I love dressing up, and I love being able to wear things out of the house. This one is a little too "costumey" to be able to wear out on a regular basis, but it would definitely be great for a Halloween costume. I found it was very easy to have sex in, in a number of different positions, although my boobs were out and about the whole time. My husband loved the costume on me, and even more loved the fact that I managed to find the shoes that the model was wearing in the picture. It was all comfortable for the most part. I found that the sides of the cups were a little itchy, but I couldn't find a real reason why except for there being a seam there. I do think it runs a little bit small, since I bought a size bigger than normal and literally the cups were the only things that didn't fit well.

If you want to be able to wear this out and still be "appropriate," I would buy a size up and sew the bottoms of the cups together so that they don't expose as much.
