This red lace up ruffled chemise by DreamGirl comes with matching thong and is a blend of cotton and polyester. The front and back fabric is a floral patterned satin jacquard. The sides are made of a stretch mesh which is very fine and soft. The ruffles, which are on the bottom of the chemise and trimmed around the cups is made of the same stretch mesh. It has a sexy, lace up front with an extra-long ribbon so it can be adjusted. The backside does also have two hook and eye clasps, which are at the top, on the back of the bra portion. The bra is lightly padded with underwire. The matching thong has the same floral jacquard fabric and a small fabric liner over the genital area, although the rest of it is unlined. The waistband on it is a simple red elastic band.

When I received this set, I opened the box to find the pieces neatly fold and wrapped in plastic. When I unfolded them I found they were on a black plastic DreamGirl hanger. I was impressed because a lot of times these lingerie pieces are just thrown in plastic bag and they are all wrinkled or balled up by the time I receive them. These were still in good, neat condition when I pulled them out. I was also impressed by the quality of the material. Many costumes or lingerie are very cheaply made with a lot of spandex or simply constructed pieces. I found this piece to be very detailed and intricate in construction. The cups have a delicate, thin foam padding in them which is very soft to the touch. They are also trimmed in ruffles with a layer of ribbon and lace underneath. The lace up front is also trimmed with lace, ribbon, and then ruffles on the edge. The bottom edge is trimmed just with long ruffles. The straps of the chemise are regular elastic, adjustable bra straps. The thong doesn't have any accents or trim on it.

For me, this piece was like a straightjacket. On the website it looks so gorgeous and I ordered a size small because I'm a 34-36 B with a 28 waist, so small usually fits me pretty well. I should have looked at the sizing chart better though because it describes the small as being for an A-B, 32-34 cup. The cup on this one was exceptionally small though and I definitely would not recommend it for a B cup. It seems DreamGirl products run a bit smaller than what I'm used to getting, so I would recommend taking a look at their sizing chart and don't push your limits! If you’re right on the border I'd go with the next size up. The lace-up front gives you some room for adjusting anyhow so use it. Don't get stuck with an uncomfortable, straightjacket like me.

It's hard to rate this product because I ordered the wrong size and while I was able to put it on and wear it, it was just too tight to be sexy in. Although I can say it was very difficult to get on and I think even if it as a size larger, it would still be a trial. I don't think this piece is designed for fast removal so keep that in mind depending on what type of play you might want to use this for. However, it does have pretty good bottom access since all that's in the way is the thong. And while we're on the thong, let me say that this was an afterthought. The thong is hideous. It's boxy and poorly designed. I also find it a little uncomfortable because the jacquard fabric can be a little stiff. Also, while the top is too small for me, the thong fits, and then some. I actually found it a bit loose for me. I would just avoid it all together or buy another plain red one that's a little sexier.

I haven't touched this piece more than once or twice. I'm not willing to even give it another chance since I have so many other items that are both comfortable and sexy. It's tucked it a corner of my dresser somewhere and that's where it's going to stay until I move and throw it out or donate it. I love the way this looks but it's just too small for me and much too complicated for getting on and off. But I suppose if you enjoy a long, slow disrobing routine, this could be the one for you.
