Fence net garter dress black - gartered mini dress discontinued by DreamGirl - review by Ms Dahlia

As I write this review, I keep trying to keep subjective opinions like style and taste out of it but it's fairly hard for me to do that when reviewing an item such as clothing. I'll start off though with just the basic description of the item. It's a black fine net fishnet dress with 3/4 length sleeves and attached fishnet stockings. The fishnet then weaves into a lace pattern on the bottom of the dress. All the edges are raw, meaning not seamed or surged. I could see them unraveling after a few wearings. It has a low cut neckline that stops right between the breasts and then a fairly large key hole under that. The back plunges low as well to about the middle of the back.

From the picture it looked like it could be sexy. I like fishnet, but more in a punk rock type of way. This made me feel a little trashy. And if you like that sort of thing, then go for it. First off, a lot of times with tight fitting fishnet tops, the tightness has a way of helping to...hold the girls up, to give a decent amount of lift with having any support features. The way this dress is cut, you get no such lift. From a purely practical perspective, there's no way to wear panties with it, unless you want to take the entire dress and stockings off to get the panties down. When I wear lingerie like this, it's intended for one purpose, I want to be able to tease a bit, not have all the goodies out at once. I consider this outfit to be the type of lingerie set that a man would want to see his partner in. A typical hetero dude, without much sense of style. I understand these are all personal opinions and your needs in a naughty lingerie ensemble might be different so let me talk about more objective aspects.

It's fairly tricky to get into because you have to line up the dress with the stockings. It's much harder than just putting on a pair of fishnet stockings. And maybe I'm just not very good at being uber-femme, but I find fishnet stockings to be a bit of a challenge at times. Although the immense amount of stretch in the garment did make it a little easier to get into.

It's hard to measure this because the fishnet stretches so much, but I'll try. When not on, from what I assume is the shoulder to the end of the skirt measures 20", the garter that attaches the stockings is about 3.5" long, the stockings are about 25" and the dress measures 6" wide. It sounds like measurements for doll clothes but this is when it's not stretched out at all. It is labeled as "one size fits all" (and we all know that is most certainly not the case), it does have quite a bit of stretch to it. My measurements are 38.5, 29, 38 and I'm about 5'4" tall, my dress size is about a 10. It fits me fine. It fits snugly like it should but there is plenty of stretch to it still. Seriously. I would think that it would fit a 14 or 16 easily. That's just a guess, but while wearing it, I can pull it far enough out that I could almost fit another person in with me. The way that it's cut as well makes it very forgiving when it comes to size, seeing as it is cut very deep in the front as well as the back.

I'm the kind of person that likes to leave parts of a sexy outfit on. Like my stockings and my shoes. Or the cape to my little red riding hood costume. Since this garment is all one piece, slowly taking parts off is not really an option. Also, despite the fact that it's a dress, it doesn't exactly make it easy when it comes to some positions... It's a dress attached to stockings, so when you bend over, the dress still covers your bum. You can't really pull it up because of the attached garters. I think you can fill in the blanks as to why this may present a problem.
