First of all, how can you resist these little guys, gals, and everything in between?


When I first saw the Naughty People Chemise by Coquette, I knew I had to have it. I had saved up points for something entirely different, but honestly, I just couldn't resist. When I got my package, I was excited to open it. This night dress came in minimal packaging. It was packed in a clear plastic bag with a clear hanger with Coquette's logo on it. There was a manufacturer's tag attached to the dress with an itty bitty safety pin. I appreciated this, because I always hate ripping the tags off when they're attached with the plastic do-dads. There's also a small tag sewn inside the dress along the seam under the right arm, which has the material and cleaning information.

This dress is 50% cotton and 50% polyester material. The hem around the top and the adjustable straps are made of a different material (like a silky ribbon). The main body of the dress very much resembles the material of a standard t-shirt in both texture and thickness. I checked over the whole dress, and I couldn't find any flaws in the material, seams, or hems. Quality construction, straight from China.

The tag inside the dress says this material should be cleaned by hand wash only and hung to dry, but because it's so similar to a t-shit, I plan on just throwing it in the regular wash. I can't make any guarantees that you'll have success with that, but I don't hand wash anything, so I'm not going to start with this.

This dress comes in sizes small, medium, large, extra large, 1X/2X. I purchased a Small, which according to the size chart should fit a person with a B cup, 34-36" bust, 26-28" waist, and 36-38" hips. Based on that, I'd say that this runs true to size. I wear a 32C, my measurements are 32/25/35, and I weigh 100-105 lbs, and it fits rather nicely. From where the straps attach the the hem at the bottom of the dress, it's 23" long. From the armpit down the seam to the bottom hem, it measures 21". On me (standing a whopping 5' tall), that falls on my upper thighs, just about 2-3" below my butt in the back. Long enough that I would feel comfortable wearing this around my apartment with my roommates, but not long enough that I would do the same at home with my parents. Watch out as you sit down and stand up, though, because it will ride up. Laying flat, it measures 13" from armpit to armpit, and 20" from seam to seam along the bottom hem.

Here are some photos so you can get an idea of how the Naughty People Chemise fits.

Bust

I personally chose to wear this with a bra, but I wouldn't wear a bra with it when I'm going to bed. There is no support built into the dress, and I personally feel more comfortable wearing a bra when I'm walking around or around people. You can see, though, that it is is pretty much just like a tank top, and I wouldn't be opposed to wearing it as such. Just toss on a pair of jeans, and you can turn this pj dress into a regular cami.

Front

This is the full front of the chemise. It's fitted around my bust and hips, and flares out a bit at the bottom. It's not quite as fitted around my waist as I'd like, but for something I'm intending to wear to bed, it's probably more comfy this way anyway!

Side

Just a simple view from the side.

Back

And again, a simple view of the back. You can see here also that the back is very much like your standard cami, just longer.

Strap

Here's a close up view of the strap. You can see that it's a ribbon-like material, which is very soft, and that the straps adjust just like regular bra straps. I love that the straps are adjustable, because I often find that when they're not, they are too long for me.

Overall, I think this is a great night dress, and I'm really glad I made that impulse buy!

I LOVE this chemise. I wear it to bed regularly, and it's stood up well to wear and washing (in the washing machine and dryer!). I love how it hugs my body, and it's really the perfect length. Definitely a keeper.
