Satin Santa apron dress - sexy costume by Coquette - review by dlw

My name is dlw, and I like to dress up...especially for holidays. So I was so excited when this Santa apron arrived. It comes in a simple cello bag (nothing fancy).

MATERIAL: The title says it's a "satin" santa apron dress. The tag says it is 100% acetate. There is a pink link that Eden offers to describe exactly what acetate is and this is what it says (copy, paste, and insert here):
Acetate is a synthetic fiber which is based on cotton or tree pulp cellulose. The acetate fibers have passed their peak as cheap petro-based fibers and have displaced regenerated pulp fibers. It is a soft, smooth and resilient material. It has no allergenic potential (is hypoallergenic) and a poor thermal retention.

The apron feels smooth. As I explained, it isn't silk but has a silky feeling.

SIZE/FIT: I am 5'8", 120 lbs, 34B, and wear size 3 on average. I ordered the one size fits most and it was perfect. It is also available in plus size. From top of the cups to the bottom of the apron front is 24 inches. It fell about 3 inches below my goodies.

The top of the apron fits like a bra. It has light soft padding and no underwire so it might not be too supportive if you have a bigger chest. It fit great on me though. The straps measure about 28 inches around the chest. The shoulder straps are stretchy and adjustable. and it connects in the back just like a normal bra would.

At the top of the cups, there is a white faux fur trim and a white satin ribbon bow between between the ladies.

At the waist is an attached 2 inch thick black, satin ribbon belt with a very thin, gold colored, metal buckle. At the edge of the apron, the ribbon belt strings are not longer attached to any thing but are there to tie in the back to hold it around your body. The ribbons are both 24 inches long and so there was plenty of room to tie a cute bow in back.

Below the belt are two pockets on each side of the apron. Although they are small (4 inches deep and 5 inches wide), the pockets can actually be used to hold things. They are about inches deep and lined with white lace and have a tiny white bow at the top.

Along the bottom edge of the apron is the same faux fur trim that was at the chest. It seems to be tacked on about every 2 inches so it isn't fastened on super well, but it didn't come off when I tried it on and seems to be on just fine to me. The apron fastens around your body one more time in the back, just below the waist where the satin and material meet with another 2 clasp hook with 3 size options to hold it around you.

The back is really bare. As I explained, there is the top bra strap, the belt ribbons in in the middle, and then a small band below the waist. That's it. So if your Santa will be making visits in some cold foreign land, this might be a little breezy.

The black gloves and thong pictured are NOT included. You'll have to supply your own if needed.

CARE: The tag says hand wash. This item came a little wrinkled from shipping so I would recommend hanging the item in a closet of folding it very carefully for storage.

I tried this on in front of my boy friend and he loved it. He actually said, "I don't know if I should be naughty or nice for you, Santa!" Of course, I laughed and told him he had to wait for Christmas to see this again. I'm pretty sure he went downstairs and started making a green and red count down to Christmas paper chain.
The only thing this piece lacks is the panty. Santa's little helper never looked so dang cute!

Well, Christmas hasn't come around since I received this in the mail, but Christmas in July is always nice. I put this on over a black dress for a such a party for work and go so many compliments. I haven't washed it, but all the fur is still in contact and pieces look great after wearing it all day!
