Fantasys Lingerie's Leopard Club Dress is a halter top style. The dress' presentation is a fold together envelope box. Most of the front of the box has a picture of the front view of the dress being modeled. The back of the box has a picture of a back view. A clear plastic bag with the dress inside, about 5" x 7", slipped out of the box. 'Oh no,' I thought. 'This doesn't look good, it's going to be cheap.' It was neatly folded, though.

Well the first thing I noticed when I pulled the dress out was how nice the fabric felt. Then I saw how big it was. 'oh, oh, not going to fit.' I stretched the dress to see how tight the stretch was. I've learned how much a garment has to give in order for it to fit me well. Well it stretched enough for me to get into it, so yay!, this dress just might work out ok. I tugged on both the sides and length. Even the side straps were a bit stretchy.

The fabric of the dress is nice and soft to the touch, and the leopard print is only on the outside of the fabric. The faux leather black criss cross straps provide a nice view of your cleavage and a bit more. Two thin straps in the leopard print tie around the neck. The dress is cut away on the sides and is held together by faux leather black criss cross straps revealing your body all the way to the bottom of the dress. All together, this creates a very, very sexy and revealing look.

The fabric of the dress is 94% polyester and 6% spandex. The care label states: "Hand wash separately in cold water. Do not bleach, do not twist or wring. Flat dry."

The dress is a one size fits all and is very well made. The seams are reinforced where they need to be and the stitching is accurate. The dress measures in diameter:

the top edge left to right: 14 1/2"
across the bust: 14 1/2" narrowing to below it: 14"
top of where the criss crossed straps begin: 9 1/2" for the fabric; 13" including straps
fabric part of dress widens on down to the bottom edge to 13"; 17" including straps
length from top edge to bottom of dress: 23"
length from where criss cross straps begin: 17"
length of each strap to tie around neck: 28"
the top of the dress stretches to at least 19" and the bottom to at least 22"
top edge to bottom edge: 24"

Now the real research, how Leopard Club Dress fit me based on this information: 5' 5"; 148lbs - 153lbs; Bra size 38 C/D; top half I wear a somewhat flared snug fit medium - large, or size 10; snug fit skirt/ shorts/ jeans size 8/10.

I had a bit of struggle when I put the dress on. It kind of got stuck at my shoulders. I wiggled and tugged to get it on. Finally, with it all pulled into place, I ran my hands all over my body and didn't feel any love handles poking out. I walked over to the mirror to take a look. I liked what I saw. I turned here and there looking for something that might not be good. I didn't find any. I was really hoping I wouldn't because, so far, I'm really liking the dress. The fit looked great. The dress didn't hide my tummy pooch but I knew that when I ordered it.

I wore the dress all afternoon to see how it would hold up to me. The stretch fabric never felt binding or loose. I moved every way I could. I twisted, stooped, bent over or sideways. The dress followed every movement throughout the entire afternoon. I ordered the dress for just my own sexy pampering and indulgence. It is not a dress I would wear in public mainly because of my modesty even though the look was hot. I don't like my tummy pooch to be visible either. For added comfort and support, I do wear a sexy black bra with the dress.

The only thing I did not like about the dress is that it rode up a couple inches in the center of the front of the dress along the bottom edge when I walk. I found myself tugging it down. It does the same thing along the bottom edge of the dress when I sit down. Now, the bottom of the back of the dress doesn't seem to move much. Even when I get up from sitting, I can walk to a mirror and see that the back bottom does not need to be tugged back down. That part was a plus.

Although this is a one size fits all dress, the maximum size is left up to interpretation. I wear medium to large and the dress is a good snug fit for me. My interpretation is that this would not be a good fit for more than an x-large size. The comfort of the stretchy material will not be so comfortable for ladies wearing larger than an x-large.

I absolutely love this dress. I actually changed my mind about wearing it in public. I wore it to a Halloween Party as a costume - a modern Tarzana was the complete costume look. I had so much fun that night wearing it. I got several compliments. I even had one friend ask if she could borrow the dress - I said no. This special dress was all mine. I felt so sexy in it. Then, I wore the complete costume the next evening to a Halloween Ball. Well, I had even more fun wearing the dress. Then, about a month later I wore it nightclubing. The dress has held up very well and hasn't stretched out of shape or shrunk when I washed it. I will continue wearing it in public till it becomes old and frayed.
