Polka dot mesh chemise - chemise discontinued by Coquette - review by mistressg

I was quite pleased upon seeing this chemise on EF. I have another chemise by Coquette that I absolutely love, so I figured since this is a similar shape, I would probably like it as well. This chemise came wrapped in bright pink tissue paper (which I think is done with just about all lingerie on EF), and I was very happy to finally try it on when I got it.

Upon putting it on I was pretty happy with the fit overall. I liked the coverage of it and how it accentuated my curves. I am not sure how I feel about the ruffles on the bum, I can't decide if I like them or not for myself. There is one thing I wish was better about it, and that would be the cups. I like the ruffles on the tops of them, I like the padding, I like just about everything...EXCEPT, they are a bit short. I have a 38C or D depending on the brand of bra, and when I put this on, I had to position the cups just so that my nipples wouldn't bust out. If they were just even 1/2" longer, they would be fine. If you have a B cup this might be perfect for you, Ds or larger should probably pass on this. If I were to compare this chemise to the Coquette Red Leopard Chemise that I have, I prefer the fit of the red leopard chemise. That one fits wonderfully, and is my favorite piece of lingerie. Because the cups are a bit awkward for me, I'm not sure how often I will want to wear this. I would wear it all the time if I had slightly smaller breasts, but because of how it fits I'm not sure. Unless I wasn't planning on wearing it for long! ;)

I was happy to discover that the bow on the front is removable. Since it has a pin-back, you could pin it on something else if you wanted, which I like! I think it could be cute to pin to a collar, maybe a cuff, or on a hairclip.

I've grown to like this less. I've noticed it in my lingerie drawer a few times since I reviewed it, and have taken it out and put it on only to take right back off. I am not a huge fan of the cups, and I have other chemises that have a much more flattering (and more importantly, comfortable) fit. This has kind of gotten lost at the bottom of the drawer. I loo at it from time to time, but I have other piece I would prefer to wear.
