Satin Gartered Chemise Set - Dreamy Chemise, Not So Dreamy Accessories

The Satin Gartered Chemise is sexy and flattering. It even looks good when it doesn't fit exactly right. Just don't expect too much from the rest of the set.

The Satin Gartered Chemise set is a gorgeous three-piece set by Dreamgirl available in Small, Medium, and Large sizes. The set comes with the black chemise with garters attached, a matching black thong, and a pair of black thigh highs. The Chemise is beautiful and extremely flattering, but the rest of the set was a huge disappointment.

Chemise

The Chemise has a glossy satin front panel with lightly padded and underwired cups. The pink shoulder straps and are adjustable; they have the small plastic slide adjusters typically found on bras. The back of the chemise is a sheer Lycra material and it's stretchy; it's comparable to Spanx which stretch while still slimming and shaping. At the top of the back there are back straps for the bra, the clasp is the standard hook clasp found on most bras. At the bottom of the chemise are ruffles made with the same Lycra material used for the back. The chemise has several pink accents; three small pink bow at the top and center of the bra, two small pink bows at the bottom front, a long ribbon bow on the back underneath the bra clasp, and four adjustable pink garters. The garters can be adjusted from 3 inches in length to a little over 4 inches and they stretch a little. The garter clasps are standard for a garter and are equally difficult to use.

I bought the medium size because most of my measurements fall at the low end of the range on the size chart. I wear a size 4/6 or XS/Small and the chemise fit me perfectly except for the cups, which I knew wouldn't fit. I'm a D cup so the underwire sat almost 2 inches off my body and you can’t adjust the underwire to fit properly without showing your nipples. The size chart says it should fit a B/C cup, but I think even a C cup would still have problems getting the underwire to sit properly. However, if you wear a C or D it still looks great and provides good support even though it doesn't fit properly.



Taller people should be cautious because the chemise seems a little short. I’m a mere 5’ tall and the seam where the back panel stops and the ruffles begin fell just shy of where my butt meets my leg and the ruffles just barely touched my leg. For a better idea you can check out the close-up pictures of the back on the product page; it fits me almost exactly the way it fits the mannequin.


Thong

The thong that comes with this set is really just a generic black thong. The thong has a Lycra front and back panel and small cotton liner. The sides of the thong are elastic. As with all undergarments, there is a tag on the back with care instructions.



The thong looked awkward on because the front panel was too narrow for my tastes; I prefer more coverage. The elastic sides were also a problem because they create a bit of an indent where it rests on your body and it ruins the clean lines created by the chemise.


Thigh Highs

The thigh highs are sheer black nylon and have an elastic band around the top. The stockings are of an average quality and feel soft against your skin. I can’t speak to how they hold up over time because I was only able to keep them on for about 5 minutes.

The elastic band at the top ruined the thigh highs for me because the elastic dug into my thighs and cut off my circulation and kept rolling down. If your thighs have any girth, do not plan on being comfortable. I have never had this problem before and I usually buy a size Small/Medium. They were also a little long, but were still wearable lengthwise.



Care Instructions

The instructions on the the tags of both the chemise and the thong say to hand wash in cold water and air dry. Neither satin nor lycra can tolerate heat so washing this item in hot water could destroy it. Even though the tag said to hand wash it, I put both items in the washing machine on the delicate cycle and they came out just fine. I don't recommend disregarding the manufacturer's instructions, but it worked in my washing machine.

Packaging

The packaging for this set was minimal. The set was wrapped in pink tissue paper inside a plastic bag. The thigh highs are packaged in a separate small plastic bag attached to the chemise. The thigh highs are on a thin piece of cardboard. All of the packaging is recyclable.
Experience
The chemise made me feel incredibly sexy. My boyfriend is also a big fan and requests it quite frequently. The satin feels great against my skin and the chemise hugs my body in all the right places, but my set as a whole has some problems. I'm really glad I got this set a few weeks before I needed it so I had time to try it on and make the modifications that were necessary. The chemise had a few stray threads when I first put it on. It is an easy enough problem to fix, but not something you want to deal with if you plan to put it to use as soon as it arrives. The biggest problem for me was the thigh highs, especially since the garters are not removable it looks a little silly to wear the chemise without the thigh highs. It was easy enough to go out and buy a replacement pair that fit, but it is disappointing that I can't make full use of the set.
Follow-up commentary
I still absolutely love this chemise! The thigh highs and thong were discarded long ago, but the chemise has held up really well and looks fantastic after quite a few washes. It still fits well except for in the cup area, and the material is still strong enough to hold me in for a flattering look.
