From my perspective, as a man, this dress looked incredible on my wife. It gave her that sexy and naughty look, but not too naughty. The dress itself is soft and very pleasing to the eye. It has a leaf pattern on the lace, which does stretch a bit. It conformed to every curve her body has and accentuated her body superbly. It is quite see through, so I wouldn't recommend it for outdoor wear, unless it's used as an undergarment. This dress is a great mood-setter.

The Dream Girl Sheer Halter mini-dress came in a box with a picture of a diamond on top. The front shows a woman wearing it from the front and the back of the box shows the back view. It does not come with the thong that the model is wearing. The box says one size fits most and gives the weight of 90lbs to 160lbs. The dress is made in Taiwan.

The dress is made of 100% nylon. Care instructions on the box says to wash in cold water by hand and line dry. Do not bleach. It should also never be ironed as heat will destroy the synthetic fibers of this dress.

The dress has snaps which are behind the neck. It has attached garters that connect to sheer stockings, which go to the center of the thigh. It has laced trim throughout.

Now that my husband got the boring part out of the way, we can move on to the whole experience. After all, he only got the end result.

We purchased the black sheer dress made by Dreamgirl because it looked stunning on the model. Upon taking it out of the package, you may begin to wonder how flexible it can really be. The dress is one piece and since the garters are lace, they do not have too much stretch quality before the stitching would begin to rip.

Personally, I am not a contortionist, but after a bit of bending, I was able to get into the dress rather easily. The best way to do it, without damaging the garment, is to slip it on without putting on the stockings. Then proceed by sitting and practically bending your leg past your ears to put the stockings on as you would regular pantyhose. This was all done without the watchful eye of my husband whom would have wanted to videotape this feat of me trying not to fall down.

After the cramps worked themselves out and I was able to stand up, I simply fastened the top behind my neck via three snaps. This was the easiest part of the whole ordeal, except that if you have long hair, which I do, it might be easier to shave your head so that you can fasten the snaps. Feeling the romance yet?

Because of the way this dress is made, you can not pull the garment down to cover your butt without making the lace garters and pantyhose baggy and you also can not pull up the stockings without making the lace garters baggy and your butt showing in all its glory. This may be due to my height of almost 5'7. I would think one shorter would really have problems with the garter lace having a baggy appearance. While someone taller than me would have much better results. That is if they can manage to get into it.

After all of this, I finally did enough cramping and fidgeting to last a lifetime. I made my appearance. This is where the "other point of view came into play". Sure it did make me feel cautiously sexy, emphasis on cautious. I believe that the first words out of my mouth were "Don't touch me". I was terrified that I was going to rip this garment somewhere without even trying. I would not have been so worried had it not been for the lace garters being attached the way they are. The neck of the dress was slightly snug and seemed to be pulling down on me. Trust me it is not due to my boob size. I ask again "Feeling the romance?"

I would say that overall this dress is great for looking at as long as you don't move around to much.

As you can probably guess from what my wife stated, the night did not continue with the dress on. I would tell the manufacturer to put some clips or snaps on the garters to make this dress more functional and keep its beauty untouched. If one can sew, I would recommend modifying it. For the price of $14.99, if you can make the modification, go for it. Otherwise, I would shy away from this one. Also, in its form as bought, it may generate a lot of discomfort to the larger breasted women.

I loved the way this looked and I wish that there were more options available to choose from when doing follow-ups. My wife loved the look, but had so many difficulties with the way it was made. She is going to give you the update on how this mini dress became a better contender in her wardrobe.

I do love this mini dress, but getting into the thing was a nightmare. I made a few alterations that made it so I can wear it more. First, I was able to carefully snip the garter-protion away at the top. Thus releasing them from the garment. I went ahead and had my sewing machine create a buttonhole stitch in the middle of the lace. I was worried that it would be to much for the lace, but it turned out fine. After I finished that, I cut the buttonhole open and inserted a black metal hair clip. The hair clips that bend to open and bend back to close. I then carefully folded over about 1/2 inch of the lace garter and sewed a new seam. I then reinforced around the hairclip to make sure it would be stable.

Amazingly, this did not come out looking altered, unless you look real close to what is shown on the model. This transformed it into a great piece without the headache of trying to get it on without ripping the material.
