Chemise [shuh-meez]is a French term that when talked about today simply means shirt. Shirt, Ha! I scoff at such simple terms. Could a shirt let my man know in no uncertain terms what is on my mind? NO. Can a shirt make me feel sexy? NO, well it possibly could but it would have to be ONE HELLUVA SHIRT! Chemise should be synonymous with sexy, flirty and a host of other words that I am having trouble thinking of right at this moment.

Being married to a guy who is pretty indifferent about sexy under things, I can admit to not really caring all that much for lingerie for pretty much most of our almost 18 year relationship. I recently decided to try finding some things after reading some reviews from HNS TexasMama . She gives great advice and writes wonderful reviews, especially on lingerie. After seeing some of her reviews, I thought, I can find some sexy lingerie that would look good on me. That’s pretty much all I expected, good. Well I can tell you I have been very pleasantly shocked at finding lingerie that looks great, is comfortable and even a few pieces that have definitely caught my man’s eye. This chemise set is one of those pieces.



Made by Dreamgirl the Sexy Pinstripe Chemise set features an open back and ruffled panties. I honestly didn’t recall the open back until I had it in my hands.




Packaging

This arrived on a pretty sturdy hanger in a plastic bag, no frills.


Material & Care

The chemise and panty are made of 85% nylon, 10% spandex and 5% polyester. The tag says to hand wash in cold water and line dry. I love this little number so much that I aim to stick to doing just that.

Design, Sizing & Fit

According to the Dreamgirl sizing chart the 1X/2X chemise should fit size 16-18 and from 165- 225 pounds. The cup size goes from D-DD size 40-48. Waist size ranges from 36-40. The hip size, although it doesn’t matter as much to me for this item since it is loose ranges from42-48 inches.
I have recently noticed, although I am pretty sure that I knew before but forgot I guess, I have an hourglass figure. I think my body is perfect except for my small/medium size belly, which is my badge of honor from the spawn. I actually noticed the hourglass figure more in this chemise, which made me very happy.








Specific Measurements

My measurements are as follows:
• I wear between a 12-16 depending on the manufacturer of the clothing
• my breast size is 42-44 D again depending on the manufacturer
• My waist is a 36
• I have no clue what my hip size is

The chemise measures 27" long from the top of breast where it meets the strap. From the bow between the breasts to the hem it measures 22" unstretched. I only measured these two unstreteched because they don't have a garter to stretch them. The straps measure 10" long at the shortest length to 18" long at the longest length.The open back measures 12" long. The front of the panty measures 5 1/2" wide at the top and 3 1/2" wode where it meets the panty liner. The panty liner is 4" long. The back of the panty measures 9 1/2" wide at the top and 3" wide at the bottom. The front of the panty is 6" long while the back is 8" long. The panty waist measures 15" long unstretched and can stretch to 24" long but I am not sure how comfortable that would be for anyone.

On a scale of 1-5 the comfort level is a 100. I have never had underwear this comfortable, never mind an entire lingerie set. I paid a very reasonable price for this beautiful piece and he loves me in it. What more could I ask for? The underwear covers my butt nicely and they made me feel so cute with their little ruffles. I am 100% satisfied with this purchase, you'll find no buyer's remorse at this house( at least not for this particular outfit).

I still love this and how it feels next to my skin. I would love to see this in more colors, maybe a blue or a green..
