*Overview*

The Pink Champagne dress from DreamGirl is actually a good piece. I say this because the things I have received from them are FAR too small, and I find it hard to believe that a large in this actually fits me well. It is functional and comfortable, not only works for the bedroom but can be worn for a night out on the town, and the colors will work with anyone's skin tone.

I will be referring to this as a top throughout the review due to its length.I was a tad bummed out because the pictures on the site are a bit misleading. The models must be really short; either that or they are wearing bigger pieces I guess? The "dress" on the models comes down about half way between their hips and their knees, while my top barely covers my ass. I have read other reviews on this piece being short as well. I am 5'5 and ordered a L , so if you want to wear this as a dress I suggest going up a size. It does fit me wonderfully everywhere else, however, and I plan to wear this as a halter top in the summer time. The straps are thick and work well for supporting larger breasts without tearing or ripping, and the material is stretchy and giving. The shape flatters curvier women as well as skinnier ones.




*Material*

This piece is made of Spandex and Polyester, which makes it stretchy and sheer. Spandex and Polyester are both very durable materials, and can take rough handling. This can be machine washed, but I still recommend taking care when cleaning because the plastic rings that attach the straps to the top are weak. A mesh bag for delicates would be the best way to go to ensure that these rings don’t get caught on anything.

*Design/Size/Fit*

The top of this piece is a halter style with long thick ribbons to tie around the neck. It is a soft baby pink color with V shaped cups. The bottom is hemmed under to look like a mini skirt and kind of fluffs out, making it flowy. It is pleated tightly towards the top and spreads out towards the bottom. It doesn't flare out, however, because the bottom is sewn inward to make the dress almost rounded out at the bottom.
There is some padding inside of the cups. I am about a 40D and this fit me pretty well. I still had to tie the ribbon tighter, but it supported my girls well and I did not have to worry about constantly re adjusting the ties. It’s also comfortable around the neck, even when tied tight, and does not cut into your skin.

The rest of the "dress" is made of a sheer black material. There is a band around the midsection that runs horizontally, as opposed to vertically like the rest of the piece. This band and the cups are almost pleated in design.


*Measurements*

The Pink Champagne in a size L runs as follows:

23" Long from the top of the bust to the bottom of the piece (straps not included in this)
14" Wide across the breast area
13" Wide at the waist
and 20" Wide at the bottom/hip section

I measured this by laying it flat and using measuring it across the front. It's been a while since I've measured lingerie, but I believe you are supposed to double the numbers to get an idea of how it will fit.

I am 5'5, 175 lbs, with a size 40 D cup and 44" hips. The L fits me like a charm with the exception of how short it is.
