Ribbons, bows, and pinstripes? Yes, please!
Pinstripes, lace, bows, and pink ribbons come together in a flirty, provocative way to make this piece of lingerie a keeper. High-quality materials and a superb design flatter any body type, and the corseted back enable this to give nearly any body type the perfect fit. Now, if only these pinstripes counted for business-attire. Casual Friday, anyone?

This is my second purchase from DreamGirl, and I have fallen in love with their products all over again. Yet again, they provide high quality fabrics, great designs, good support and amazing style in a product that has a high re-wear-ability factor, along with being affordable.
The top of this chemise is made out of 100% polyester, and the bottom is 10% spandex/90% polyester. However, this lacks the scratchiness generally associated with polyester. In fact, the pinstripe portion of the chemise actually feels like a faux-silk, and is very comfortable. The entire portion of the chemise that is pinstriped is not transparent at all, so it does a great job of hiding any problem areas, while also being WONDERFULLY slimming, because it's a centralized pattern, focusing everything in that portion of one's body. The sides and ruffles on the bottom are nicely transparent - it's nice and revealing, showing the flesh underneath without being slutty.
The straps are adjustable and made of a nice stretchy material, allowing for the support you expect to find in quality lingerie. I am tall (6'), so I let my straps out nearly completely to give me the extra length that I need so that it covers my bum. Sadly, in doing so, I lose a bit of the cleavage that it gives. That being said, this chemise doesn't disappoint when it comes to cleavage. Thin under-wire and subtle padding come together to give the lift needed to have luscious cleavage, even if you have smaller breasts. If you have larger breasts or a bigger bust, the corset ribbons of the back can be let out for a better fit. I found the cups to be a bit smaller than I would have liked, but I am on the larger end of big-breasted, at 44DDD.
My favorite part of this piece are the ribbons in the back, that make it corset-like. There's a thin plastic "boning" that runs down the spine, supporting the eyelets of the ribbons, so it's not just fabric. This corset area can be used to make the chemise looser or tighter, depending on your body type and needs. I purchased mine in a 3x/4x, and wish I would have gone with a 1x/2x, so that I could let the corset out in the back and show off a bit more skin. I found this fit to size very well, and the material was nicely fitting and had a decent bit of stretch to it, because of the sides and the corset back.
The bottom of the chemise has some ruffles that gives the outfit some shape. The dress that is shown on the model comes down a few inches past her butt. I, however, didn't have that luxury because I am tall like Shrek. On me, it cuts off a bit below my navel, leaving just about everything exposed. As I explained, I loosen my straps and get a little more coverage, but not much. If you were of average height, this would probably fit you more similar to how it did on the model. You can see how DreamGirl's lingerie (this one, and the previous one I purchased, fit the exact same way) fits me here.
I didn't really mind the chemise being short on me, though, because the thong is so cute. It's transparent, made out of the same material that the sides of the chemise are made out of, and provide ample coverage. These are comfortable enough to wear as panties on a daily basis, but cute enough to wear with the chemise set. Sadly, they don't have any designs at all. No lace, bows, pink ribbon, or anything else. Just simple solid black. The only problem that I have with this outfit at all is that the thong is a little thicker than I would have liked, and it sat awkwardly on my butt.
All in all, this is a wonderful outfit. Big or small, short or tall, it is made well enough to fit just about any body type. Follow the size charts, and be mindful that it runs a little smaller on the bust than advertised, but other than that one flaw, this is an exceptional product.

This baby-doll still makes me feel like the hottest bitch on the block. I have no complaints with it at all. It has held up very well to numerous washings, and still retains every bit of detail it did initially without any flaws or mars.
