Not A Very Merry Christmas
The holiday chemise could be a hot ticket item if it was better made. The sequins are sewn into places they shouldn't be making wear uncomfortable. The piece is cheaply made with frayed edges that are hidden with cute additions. The sequins quickly fall off leaving frayed edges with a lot of string for show. The piece is so complimenting and fits great it it wasn't painful to wear this would be on the top of my list for Santa.

Pros
Adjustable Straps, Shaping, Shiny
Cons
Scratchy, Breasts Slip, Feathers barely attached, Sequins falling off, Cheaply made
When you first see this stunning piece, you can't help but get the images of the holiday season, eggnog, Santa hats, and of course sexy red dresses, sadly the images of sugarplums quickly leave when you slide it on. It arrives in a simple plastic bag hanging on a cheap plastic hanger that easily breaks. It comes equipped with the sequined chemise, garters, and a lovely detachable bow. The makers of this lovely looking piece are coquette.
The piece is made up of a sequined bust, and sequined strip down the front with the sides of that trim complimented with a shiny patent plastic. The sides of the piece are composed of a light mesh fabric, that goes into a panel of soft yet sheer black spandex nylon. The base of this chemise is a white feather trim with two black bows. The bow at the top is removable and is made from the shiny patent material. The bust is padded nicely lifting and complimenting breasts. The garters come in a pack of four, the tops of these are metal hooks that slide into the chemise, while the bottom is made of a metal and rubber piece that holds the stockings up. The sizing for this one is
Small
sizes-4 - 6
cup-B
bust-34 - 36
waist-26 - 28
hip-36 - 38
Now I am a size 8 and have a c cup breast but I found the fit to be quite comfortable. The nylon has a lot of give to it that helps to shape to your body without being restrictive. It forms nicely to curves complimenting your body shape, the sizing will fit a wide variety of size depending on how snug you would like it to be on you. The bust is padded and has under wire that lifts and compliments breast nicely. They defiantly make my breast seem much larger, which I personally love but other may want to avoid. The strip of red sequins down the front also help to distract the eyes, for me this is a problem area and i liked the fact that it didn't seem to show my larger belly but did well to flatter it.
Now the downfall of this piece was a large one, the sequins have been sewn into the seems on the inside. This cause chaffing and even small cuts from just below my breast down the front of my stomach. The large shiny bow on the front broke, the bow coming off of the metal holder, when I removed it from the chemise I found the top to be a mess. The edge is very badly frayed the sequins are coming off and it just overall looked like someone didn't want to finish sewing so they put the bow on it to hide it. The sequins along the bust also quickly fell apart and began to fall off even before wearing it. The feather base at the bottom easily tears off of the chemise, the base of mine did so and I found the hem of this piece to also look very unfinished with sequins just cut off.

Experience
This chemise would have been perfect for my body had the design flaws not prevented me from wearing it. The sequins hurt to badly for it to be worn more then a matter of minuets really. My boyfriend loved it on me but was concerned when he saw the line of scratched it had left after only about 5 minuets of wear. The sequins falling off of the top bust piece weren't to noticeable but were disappointing considering the price being payed for this piece. The cheaply made bow that broke off to show the unfinished portion underneath truly made me mad for the amount of money the quality should be much better on this piece.
Follow-up commentary
4 months after original review
The Holiday Sequin Chemise although cute and stunning is an impractical and painful chemise. I have not braved wearing it for a third time as the first two left me scratched and even bleeding in a few spots from the sharp sequins. Although the set fit great and complimented the body wonderfully, the sewn in sequins that could not be removed make the set near worthless for wearing anymore then five minuetes. I was left with cuts and chaffing for a day or so after wearing this chemise, so this one went into the trash.
