Seductress tube dress - mini dress discontinued by Seven 'til Midnight - review by Breas

The Seductress Tube Dress by DreamGirl is available in one-size-fits-most and plus size. I wear a size XL so I went with the plus size option. I purchased this outfit to wear in the bedroom only but I suppose if you were comfortable enough you could find a way to wear it out to a club or similar public setting.

The outfit arrived in a cardboard box. The front of the package states the company name, size, colour, and product name. There is also a photo of a model wearing the outfit on the front. The back of the packaging states the same information as the front and has a back view photo of a model wearing the outfit. I just keep my outfit in a drawer. The packaging can be recycled.



Inside of the cardboard packaging, the outfit is wrapped around another thin piece of cardboard. This can be recycled as well.The dress is 90% nylon and 10% spandex. The material is ridiculously stretchy. The dress is all black in colour and does not become sheer the more it is stretched: The first photo below is the front of the dress and the second is the back.



I’ve taken a few measurements of the dress laying flat. If you need additional measurements, let me know and I will get them for you.

Chest (armpit to armpit) unstretched: 12 ½ inches
Chest (armpit to armpit) stretched as much as I could: 32 inches
Width at bottom of dress unstretched: 13 ½ inches
Widh at bottom of dress stretched as much as I could: 33 inches
Length of dress unstretched: 22 inches

The band at the top of the dress is approximately 1 inch in length and is a bit thicker then the rest of the dress. The open sides down the sides of the dress, upper area at the back, and down the chest are stretchy as well. How wide these areas become is determined by how much you stretch the dress when you wear it. I would take unstretched measurements of these areas but last night I wore the dress because my partner wanted me to wear it. Now I’ve really stretched out the outfit (the unstretched measurements above were taken before I tried the dress on so these are accurate).

Down the centre front of the dress, there is an open area that connects with straps that look like bows. These “bows” are stretchy. There is a centrepiece to each “bow” with 4 strings coming off each side of the centre. There are 5 of these “bows” in total. The bottom open “bow” is approximately 7 ½ inches from the bottom of the dress. There is no padding or underwire in the chest area.

There are open sides down each side of the dress that start from the top of the dress and continue all the way to the bottom. There are strings attaching the front and back of the dress in this area. These strings are stretchy and there are 30 strings on each side. The strings have a shorter length at the top of the dress and get larger as they go down the body. These straps didn’t give me muffin top because they weren’t tight against my body. They laid on the skin rather than digging in.

The centre back of the dress has two columns of strings down it. The strings are stretchy and there is a total of 12 strings down each column. The strings are lengthier at the top of the dress and get shorter as you move down the body. The space between the columns is approximately ¾ of an inch. This open area does not go all the way down to the bottom of the dress. It ends around the lower back area, 11 inches above the bottom of the dress. Below is a photo of the strings being stretched out.



Both length and width of the dress is stretchy so where it sits on your body will all depend on how much stretching you’re doing. One thing I thought was really neat about this dress is that you can wear it backwards so that the “bows” run down the centre back and the two columns of strings sit at the front of the body. The only thing with this is that your chest will pop out between the strings. My partner prefers my chest to be exposed so me wearing the outfit backwards works just perfect for him. I like how it looks on me when wearing it

I’m 5’6 in height and the dress naturally falls at my upper thigh. If I want a bit more length, I’m able to stretch it down to just above my kneecaps. Since the dress has open sides, you may want to just go commando (no underwear) while wearing it. Or, you could pair it with a black g-string, which would probably blend in with the strings down the side of the piece.

I think this outfit is extremely comfortable to wear. I’d have no problems falling asleep in this outfit because it’s so comfortable again the skin. The care tag states that the dress should be hand washed in cold water and line dried. The outfit should not be bleached or ironed.

Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase (and so is my partner). It stretches to fit me well and there are still lots of stretch left for those who need more width. The open areas of the dress give it a very sexy look. The outfit is comfortable and best of all it’s ridiculously inexpensive. I would absolutely recommend this outfit to others.

I've worn this piece numerous times since the original review. I actually just wore it yesterday. I still love it! The outfit is really comfortable, stretchy, durable, and sexy. My partner really likes this outfit on me. I absolutely would still recommend it. It's such a great price too!

I also wanted to mention that I've thrown this piece in the washing machine in my lingerie bag and haven't had any issues. I keep the washer on cold water. The dress still looks fabulous.
