I have tons of lingerie, but a large majority isn't great for sleeping and is strictly sex attire. I gave my boyfriend a few choices for chemises and he chose this one. I have to admit, it wasn't my top choice but I couldn't beat the price.

*Contents/overview:

This one piece from Coquette is a chemise with lace trim. It has a halter neck and back tie for closure and comes in a one size fits all. There is a plus size version, not currently available on Eden. Unfortunately this does not come with a pair of matching panties. I was dissapointed by that.

*Material:

The chemise is super soft to the touch! It is made of a 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex Lycra blend with a lace trim. The Lycra breathes extremely well. It is a soft pink with a heart and ornate vine pattern. The hearts are a bit more vibrant that in the pictures online. It was a little too loud for my taste. My boyfriend loved the cutsey, super girly look so I didn't care all that much in the end.

*Design/craftsmanship

From the front, this looks like a regular mini dress/chemise with a solid body and triangle breast cups. They are lined with pink lace. There is a thin cord of spandex that runs underneath the cups. In the middle is a small pink bow. The back adds a bit of extra sexiness. It is an open back-cut to right above the butt. There are two ties. One for the halter neck and another that ties across the back which provides a little breast support. The dress is short, falling right below the goods. Even though the material is very thin, it looks and feels well made. I didn't find any imperfections or bad stitching.

*Cleaning/care/storage:

The tag says to hand wash, but when I was a dancer I had a lot of nylon and Lyrca costumes that did just fine in the wash. I decided to be the guinea pig for y'all and take the gamble. It did just fine. If you decide to do the same, put it in the wash by placing it in a pillow case and tie it. Use a short cold cycle and dry it while laying flat.

There are no hang ties, but you can hang it by the halter strings or fold it and place in a drawer. The neat thing about Lyrca is that is doesn't wrinkle! You can also put it back in the box that it comes in. This is how I store mine.

*Sizing:

Some companies have a very inaccurate one size fits all, but Coquette's is so much better in my opinion. It fit pretty well and I think it would look nice on someone larger or smaller than me too. I weigh ~150 pounds (size 8/10); curvy but fit. The one size says it fits a 4-14 dress size, B cup (there is no way those knockers on the model are a B!), 34-40" bust, 26-32" waist, 36-42" hip.

I'd say that this is fairly true. The triangles are small because they are designed to show that super sexy side boob. Mine are a size ~34 D (just got re-sized. Go figure I've been wearing the wrong bra) and thank god are still perky in my young age, so I didn't have much of a problem with support. Someone who has larger breasts or ones that hang lower may have a problem though. I don't think that the top would look great on someone with breasts smaller than a moderate C. It might be too baggie.

The tie for the back was just slightly in the wrong place. I wish that it was an inch or so lower on my back. If I put it were I wanted it, it caused the sides of the dress to not lie flat, so I had to just deal with that.

The waist and hips fit very well. It hugged me in all the same places as the model. Really the whole thing looked like it does on the model except that it is shorter on me. The front looks about the same, but the back covers my butt and barely any of my thighs. I wish it was just a tad longer, so that it would be even more suitable for sleeping. I think that this would fit someone slightly larger, but on a smaller frame you will get more bagginess and it would probably start to resemble more of a nighty.

So, the chart doesn't really lie. It actually is undershooting if anything, but I have re-done the size chart to include what I think it would fit AND look best on.

Dress: 6-14
Cup: C-D
Band: 32-40"
Waist: 25"-34"
Hips: 36-43"

*Conclusion:

This chemise isn't my favorite because the pattern is a bit too loud for me and it just isn't my favorite style. BUT, it is a great price, excellent quality, and a good one-size fitting piece. It doesn't wrinkle and is easy to wash. It also is comfortable for sex and sleep. The best of both worlds.

Small pic from the side I'm not an amputee, I just wanted you to see the side.

This chemise is really high quality! I love that I can put it through the washer and dryer with no damage. I have been putting it in a lingerie bag, but sometimes it comes out in the dryer. Needless to say, you don't even need one of those to put it through the washer or dryer machine. Just be careful in the washer because the ties could get wrapped around the drum and rip.
