I'm not the type of person who usually wears red. In fact, I've always felt that it looked poor with my light skin tone. However, when I saw this chemise I had to get it. My boyfriend and I love when I wear lingerie. However the problem is that it always interferes with him accessing my boobs. Since he loves boobs, the lingerie is usually quickly flung off. So when I saw that this would offer an immediate view of my breasts, I was definitely keen on it. Plus, I actually think that the bow is cute.



Before I get into fit I have to gush about the packaging. This piece was originally released as part of Leg Avenue's Valentine's Day Collection and boy does the box show that. It's like receiving a fine box of chocolates. The textured style black box includes a pink piece of cardboard with product info on it. When you slide that off you will see that the box is fastened with a cute pink ribbon. When you open it up your lingerie is encased in a small piece of tissue paper. Plus, the inside and edging of the box features a very cute pink design that reminds me of candy. This would make an amazing gift for a lover or for a bachelorette party. I also think that due to the red and candy style of the packaging and lingerie it would also be perfect for Christmas as well as Valentine's Day.





When I first laid this piece out on my bed I was worried. It appeared to be very small. I was thinking that only a child could fit into it. It is listed as "one size" and there is a popular joke on EF that "one size fits all" really means "one size fits small." However I was pleasantly surprised to find that this chemise is incredibly stretchy. According to Leg Avenue, a One Size item should fit sizes 6-11 with an A-C cup and measurements of 32-38" bust, 23-29" waist and 34-40" hips. The measurements that I took of the item laid flat are as follows: 24-36" bust, 24-34" waist and 32-40" hip. Those are at least up to the highest number but it seems that it would stretch a few more inches I just didn't want to press my luck. I couldn't figure out how to measure the length of this chemise due to the open cups. The matching g-string measures 23-36" wide (at least,) with a length of 6" for the crotch and a width of 1-4" from the smallest to widest point of the crotch.



As usual I don't list my exact measurements due to a history of disordered eating. However, I will mention that I usually wear a size 10-12 or large in clothing with a 36C bust. Once on, I loved the way that this fit me. It stretched to fit my body wonderfully. I felt that it made my breasts seem even larger than they are and it gives a cute glimpse of my butt in the back. I definitely feel super sexy in this set.

Both pieces are made of 100% polyester. The box and inner tag on the chemise indicate that they should be hand washed in cold water, only use non-chlorine bleach when needed, drip dry and do not iron. I have found this piece a snap to clean.

My fiance loved this more than I could have imagined. I wear it a lot. As mentioned above, he normally wants to see my body during sex so I have to remove my lingerie. However I've actually had sex with this on (the chemise, not the g-string) because he can fondle my breasts to his heart's content. Plus, it's so sheer that he can still see the rest of my body and it's not too long to get in the way. Sometimes I do find it itchy and remove it during sex though. It's the only lingerie that he objected to me doing that with "hey, why did you take it off?" he asked. Yes, that was a pretty adorable moment. I've also worn it while just lying in bed for a while but didn't find it irritating then (I'd guess because I'm not sweating, like during sex.)

I'm sad to see that EF has discontinued this item. However, I have included two similar Leg Avenue sets below. The Sequin peek-a-boo gift set is also in a gift box (I'm assuming the same one as this from what I read in the single review on it).

It's definitely still one of our favorite go to pieces. I haven't had any issues with it. It's easy to clean.
