Galore chemise and thong - chemise discontinued by Seven 'til Midnight - review by SMichelle

I purchased this set on a bit of a whim, and it must be said that my expectations for this were extremely low. After all, how much can you expect from a $23.99 set? Judging from this piece -- you can expect a lot! I was pleasantly surprised at just how nice this set is, and it has fast become one of my favorite pieces of lingerie.

I love this piece so much that I am seriously thinking of buying a second piece to have as a backup, just in case anything ever happens to this one.

What's Included:
Seven Till Midnight's Galore Chemise and Thong set is a two piece set. When you purchase it, you will receive the polka dot chemise, and a matching thong.

How to Wear:
Looking for a great chemise to sleep in? Look no further! This chemise is extremely comfortable to sleep in, despite the fact that it's a bit short. If the length is a problem for you, you could easily pair it with a pair of leggings for sleeping. I've done this a few times, and find it to be both sexy and comfortable.

What about sex, you say? Well, no worries -- the chemise is comfortable to wear during sex.

As for every day use? Well... I wouldn't recommend wearing this out in public, but I have found a way to wear this when relaxing around the house. I simply layer this over a pair of leggings and a camisole, which gives me a cute, cozy look for lounging.

The thong itself is also excellent for day to day wear.

Material and Care:
Both the chemise and thong are made out of 87% Polyester and 13% Spandex. Overall, the material is very sheer, as the bulk of both the chemise and thong is essentially mesh. This means that, yes, it is see through. The polka-dots, however, are not as transparent as the mesh is -- though if you stretch this piece, you will be able to see through them, too.

The material is extremely comfortable, and not at all itchy. It is also very stretchy.

The polka dots have a soft velvety texture from the outside of the chemise (the part that your lover will see). The velvet feels very interesting next to the mesh, and in my guys opinion, makes this piece extremely touchable. Personally, I find it difficult to avoid petting the polka dots when I'm wearing this.

Now, how do you wash this item? Well that is the great thing about this chemise -- you can machine wash it! The tag recommends that you machine wash both pieces in cold water, and then line dry them. I personally have done this multiple times, and the piece seems to be holding up wonderfully.

Sizing:
Seven Till Midnight has made this lovely little number available in four sizes: SM, ML, 1X/2X, and 3X/4X. I decided to go with the ML.

According to Seven Till Midnight, an ML should fit someone with the following measurements:
Size: 8-14
Cups: C-D
Bust: 36-38"
Waist: 28-30"
Hips: 38-40"

My waist is a 32", but I fit within all of these measurements otherwise. Overall, this piece fit me really well. I do believe that this item could fit someone slightly larger than Seven Till Midnight recommends as it is so stretchy.

This piece, at least for the ML, seems to fit true to size.

In regards to length, I am 5'6" and this piece covers most of my behind.

The thong, unstretched, measures about 13.5" laying flat. Stretched, it comes to about 22.5". I found that it also fits true to size, and is comfortable to wear.

Design:
This chemise simply slips on over ones head; there are no hooks, no zippers, and no buttons. This makes it very easy to get on and off.

The cups of the chemise are soft, with absolutely no lining. There is also no underwire. With no lining and no underwire, I was surprised that the chemise offered me as much support as it does. My large C cup/small D cup breasts looked amazing in this chemise, and I didn't feel as though they were unsupported. I think this may be due to the fact that the cups hug my breasts tightly (but still leaving a little room for someone bigger than me). The straps on the chemise are also adjustable, which allows me to adjust them for a bit more support if need be.

The lace at the top of the cups, and at the lower portion of the chemise, make this piece feel extremely sexy. The lace trim is girly and cute, yet somehow it's not too frilly. My only complaint about the lace is that the lace around the lower portion of the chemise sometimes curls over, but it still looks great even when it does.

Next, there are the bows. There are two small bows on this chemise; both of which are purple. One lays in between the cups, whereas another is sewn on one side of the bottom of the chemise. The bows are not supposed to be removable, but you could probably take them off with a seam ripper if you chose to.

Finally, there is the subtle ruffle at the bottom. The ruffle is very subtle, but it's what makes the piece for me. The very edge of the bottom of the ruffle is lined with a purple that matches the bows. The purple lining really pops on the black chemise, and makes the piece feel very youthful and playful.

The thong itself is very basic. It has the same mesh and polka dot design as the chemise does. There is no pantyliner, which was slightly disappointing. You should also know that the back of the thong is very thin. As for the front, it actually provides me with some coverage, which was a huge shock as the included thongs are usually too small for me.

Packaging:
This piece arrived wrapped in plastic, and then of course wrapped in Eden Fantasy's usual pink tissue paper. There was no hanger included. The packaging, overall, was minimal but effective.


Quality:
Overall, this piece is very high quality. There were a few areas with loose threads that needed trimming, and the lace at the bottom of the chemise rolling over is slightly annoying; but other than that? I couldn't find a single thing to complain about.

I absolutely adore this chemise! I love that it's both sexy and comfortable, and as such, it has become one of my favorite things to sleep in.

After MANY uses this chemise is still in perfect condition.
