I admit it. I am a total lingerie whore. From my leather corsets to my seven inch heels, I harbor a collection of sex threads that would make the average burlesque entertainer jealous.

Here's the kicker. I am a curvy girl. Not a BBW, but large breasted, ample through the hips and muscular. My shape makes it hard to find a flattering fit. Not to mention the expense, most of us thick girls end up paying more money for the same pieces our thinner counterparts purchase (this particular item is six dollars more for plus sizes).

Now I have not let the situation dissuade me. I still find things that compliment my curves. The Loungerie Gown is a great find for the Venus types. I chose this particular item because I am partial to classic styles, longing to parade around in glamazon wear. This appeared to be the perfect gown for our parties. I could not wait to try it on.

The mesh material is slick, rolls right through your fingers, almost begging to be touched (however, I do not recommend wearing this while wrestling someone on satin sheets, you may injure yourself). Be careful when wearing, I can predict that this gown will snag quite easily. It is a halter style, secured mid-chest with a silver O-ring. Around your neck are two straps that tie to two loops in the back, facilitating easy removal. The best part of this gown is the back. Your back is completely bare, with the hem of the skirt barely grazing your waistline. Very alluring. It comes with a g-string. However, it was too big. This sometimes happens with us thick gals. It ended up in the drawer with others like it, discarded drawers.

This is a delicate item, so be sure to hand wash and line dry.

I had to hide and try this one on. If DJ had caught a glimpse of me testing lingerie, I would never have gotten out of the room.

The largest appeal of this gown, to me, was that it was almost a lounging piece more than a rip it off and fuck me piece. I could sit down it it comfortably and lie down in it comfortably. I am sure I could have strolled around the house like I'm Jean Harlow. I would have tried it if I hadn't known my daughter would have been holding the back yelling "yee haw" with me dragging her behind me.

It's almost like being completely nude, with a thin modesty filter thrown in. I imagined myself as a modern day Cleopatra, fighting the urge to throw on a large diamond bracelet and headpiece.

"Marc Antony, bring me my Pure Wand and some grapes..."

I am very excited about this gown. I love the way it looks and feels. I have plans for it at our next lifestyle party this month, and I am sure it will be a hit!

As much as I would love to give this gown five stars, I cannot. The six dollar price increase for plus sizes is just not on my list of cool stuff.
