Couture chemise - chemise discontinued by Escante - review by js250

The Couture Chemise arrived on a black, plastic hanger inside a clear, plastic garment bag. The first detail I noticed was the beautiful design on the lace, which has a beautiful, shimmery pink and black geometric design. There is also a small accent in the design with shimmery, holographic thread that is multicolored. This subtle addition adds a lot to the design.

The pictures do not do this piece justice. The lace is absolutely beautiful and the alternating sheer and solid stripes in the front add to the elegance. Turn around and you have a basic bra band and open space below that. Covering your booty is a strategically placed piece of lace with a pink bow at the top. My husband had no idea that was the back, he expected the normal satin or sheer material and when I turned around to 'pick up something I dropped', his eyes about popped out of his head!! Lets just say, the pictures were put off for another time.

The bust does have a decent amount of support even though there is no padding. I do suggest getting a size larger than you would normally wear if you are a bit busty, this finally worked to my advantage! I would normally wear a L/XL, but decided to go to a 1X hoping for a good fit on the bust--and it worked! Perfect fit for my 43D's. The rest of the chemise is a bit loose, not form fitting as it is on the model but it does look pretty good. The pictures did not turn out as good as planned, but they do give you an idea of the fit.

The material is Nylon and Spandex. There is a good amount of stretch, and the shoulder straps are adjustable. The front is a matte sheer and opaque material, but the sides are a nice, shiny black satiny material. The material feels soft and silky against your skin. The only part that takes a bit of getting used to is the hem below your open booty, it feels odd against the bottom of your hind cheeks. It is not annoying and I do appreciate the fact that it keeps the lace booty cover-up in place.

The seams are well made, no loose threads or mismatched seams. This is by far one of the sexiest and most comfortable chemises I have, but I am still getting used to my booty peeking out! The quality is pretty good. There is a mixture of cheaper fabrics, but combined--they make a well made, elegant and sexy garment.

Hand wash the chemise in warm water with a mild detergent. I use Dona Lingerie Wash. Let it air dry and hang it in your closet when dry. You may fold this and store it in a lingerie drawer without getting too many wrinkles in the fabric.

The fit is perfect. My husband loves the rear view so much, I use this as a bit of a teaser. I love putting it on under a looser shirt and letting the lace on the bust peek out. Of course, I do this when we are not home for maximum build up!! I am sooo bad sometimes!! Poor hubby, lol!! Okay, he loves the build up as much as I do.

The material and seams have held up very well. This has become one of my husband's favorite pieces for me to wear--due to the peek-a-boo booty!! The styling and details that make this chemise up are exquisite and well planned.

Classy, sexy and hot as hell, this is one chemise you won't want to miss out on!!
