The Carried Away chemise and thong by DreamGirl is gorgeous and will work for many figures. Really big busts may not be able to pull this off. For me however, this set not only looks amazing, but is comfortable, even the underwear.

This does have a few tiny flaws that I am willing to overlook because of how flattering this is for me. The first thing, which can be noticed in the model pictures on the product page is the length. It is NOT a chemise. It is a cami. When I think chemise, I think at least covers the ass somewhat. This does not. I am 5'2" 134lbs. and wear a 36 C. I wear a 6-8 dress size typically. I am short. And so is this set. I ordered a medium which was consistent with what the size chart suggested, however; on the model the chemise at least covers the models thong, with me this did not work the same. In my pics (see link above)you can see that this does look more like a cami. I am fine with this, but this may be a drawback for some.

The Dream Girl size chart goes as followed:
S - Size 2-6, Cup A-B, Bust 32-34, Waist 24-26, Wt. 90-120lbs
M - Size 6-10, Cup B-C, Bust 34-36, Waist 26-28, Wt. 120-140lbs
L - Size 10-14, Cup C-D, Bust 36-38, Waist 28-32, Wt. 140-150lbs

With me being 134lb with a 36C and wearing around an 8 usually, I went with the med and the set was a bit short and the cups not quite big enough. I feel a Large would have done better, this set definitely runs a bit small.

The set is made from 90% polyester and 10% spandex. The "chemise" has black straps that are adjustable. The cups have a satiny feel and what I simply adore is that this set has a little padding with underwire. It flat out will make the girls look good. As seen in my pictures the whole cups are surrounded by black embroidery. The bow at the top feels like satin as well and draws the eyes to the cleavage. Ok, now time for the second small flaw. The cups are not very wide or deep. If you have pendulous breasts this will probably not work for you. Smaller chests, it's a go. You would for sure have to go one size up from your normal size to be able to have the cups work. My breasts barely fit in mine but they do fit after an initial adjustment. The closure on the back is a hook and eye like a bra.

The center of the chemise from the top bow to the ruffled bottom in solid and satiny, and is bordered with black embroidery. The sides and back are white mesh and see through. The bottom front also has a bow that draws attention to the crotch. On the back side there is a bow above the butt which also tends to attract attention to that area. Very well thought out. Eyes drawn to my goods and away from my tummy is always good. The entire bottom is made of a satiny two layered ruffle that adds a bit of sexy flair.

Now, tell you why I love this set. I was convinced that when I put this set on that it was going to be itchy and it really isn't. It's actually comfortable and supportive in the chest. It does hug your curves, but it does so tastefully and accentuates and flatters. Upon first glance, the thong also looks ridiculously uncomfortable, but it really isn't. The waist band on the thong is stretchy and could fit a wide array of hip and bottom sizes, it is made with a firmer fabric and it feels like satin. The thong portion is almost as wide as the front, which baffled me at first but it honestly rested between my cheeks well without being a bother. The cinching of the fabric above the butt creates a "lifting" appearance and also helps accentuate the ass.

This set comes packaged on a hanger and wrapped in plastic. The tag says to hand wash in cold water and to line dry. This is how I wash all of my lingerie, but some may feel comfortable washing this on the gentle cycle in a lingerie bag.

The quality is excellent. I have not noticed a single loose thread, tear or irregularity. All the embroidery is flawless and the mesh is perfectly intact. The material is stretchy enough all around to be able to fit your body in it comfortably. However, the cups as previously mentioned, are just flat out not meant to hold a ton of boob. I do feel fortunate that I was able to pull it off. From now on I know to order a size up when I order DreamGirl lingerie. DreamGirl makes quality lingerie, they just run small. So ladies and gents, I do recommend grabbing a size up from your norm.

I like this alot and do wear it a great deal. It is comfortable, sexy and despite the fact that this is falsely advertised as a chemise when it truly is a cami it is still sexy and it still works for me. I hand wash this in the sink, I hang it to dry and it is good to go. I have lost six punds so fortunately it fits a little better but the sizing running small would still be the only complaint about this that I have, and that would be a company flaw, not a flaw with the lingerie itself. As a matter of fact, this after several washed is still in very good condition and looks brand new. I just make sure to hang it in the closet to keep it that way.
