The first thing I want to mention is that this is a real dress, not just something solely for bedroom wear. You could easily wear this out to many different places. For example, you could both wear this clubbing and out to a nice dinner, if you don't mind showing a little skin. It's a versatile piece that you'll love if it flatters your figure.

The outer part of the dress is black mesh, which is see-through and allows you to see the light beige polyester/spandex lining underneath. At first glance you might be tempted to think that you'll be able to see through the dress when it's on, since you can see through both layers when you hold them up to the light, but once you put the dress on it becomes opaque. In a few cases, if you're really putting the stretchy fabric to the limit, you might be able to see through some spots, such as between your thighs. If you fit the measurements given by DreamGirl, this almost certainly won't be a problem, however.

Both fabrics are of good quality; they feel much heavier than most lingerie-style dresses, and just like a dress you'd buy from a regular clothing shop. They're both very soft on the skin and didn't cause me any irritation. Similarly, the rest of the garment is well put together. I didn't notice any loose threads or unfinished stitches on the piece, and I think it would stand up to a good amount of wear.

My favorite thing about this piece is its multiple ways of wearing it. Because it's form-fitting and ruched, you can adjust how long or short you'd like to wear this piece. Simply pull it up if you want it a bit shorter, or pull it down if you'd like it to be a bit longer. One thing to note, however, is that you'll get less and less ruching the more you pull it down. If you're only trying to adjust it an inch or so, you probably won't even notice the difference, but you'll start to see it after that. The halter-style top also gives you more options. While there are certainly a few different ways to tie halter tops, I like to use a trick to make it into a dress with regular straps. I put the dress on, measure out where I'd like the straps to fall (or sometimes I'll ask someone to help me) and put a mini safety pin on the inside of the dress. This makes the straps attached to the back. This is particularly useful if you have the problem where the back seems to sag, or goes down too far and doesn't cover your bra.

There are only two things about this dress that I either don't like or could see being a potential problem for someone. The first is that it's form-fitting, so if you're not comfortable with your body shape, you probably won't love this. If you are comfortable, however, the ruching makes it very flattering on most body types! The second is that there's a visible seam on the beige lining that goes straight through both cup areas. In the model picture, it looks almost like a shadow, but it is definitely visible when you put the dress on. That bothers me a little, since I find it less flattering because of it.

The dress comes in a plastic hanger that you can use to store it. You should hand-wash it in cold water and let it line-dry to keep it in the best quality for a long time.
