-Packaging-

When I first found out I was chosen to review the “My True Beauty Fuschia Chemise” by DreamGirl I was excited. Recently my partner and I have gotten more and more lingerie items and its always interesting to see how they look in person compared to on the site. It arrives on a hanger with a plastic sleeve covering similar to how you would get something out of a drycleaners. The hanger has the “Dreamgirl” logo written across the front. It doubles as handy storage for the item.

-Material/Specifications -

The set comes in both pink and black. Ordinarily my partner and I would prefer black but the pink actually looks really well both on site and in person. It comes with two pieces, the top which is a lace, floral patterned chemise with an open back and some really cute little bows. And the bottom which is a mesh panelled thong. The set is available in sizes small, medium and large. We chose the small set.

The upper portion of the set is made from 88% Nylon and 12% Spandex. This is good for the upper portion as it means there is a little bit of stretch when you might need it. It has three separate labels, one is the Dreamgirl logo, the second is the care instructions as well as some size information and the third says made in China. They are concealed well enough behind a large pink bow but they are sewn right into the seam of the garment which makes them difficult to remove if you so desired. There are removeable garter straps that come attached. This is great as it makes the outfit more customizable depending on your mood. My partner is a Uk size 6/8 (US size 4/6) on top and a D cup, this fits her well enough albeit a little loose around the midsection. The cup is designed as a one size fits most. As with all elasticated/stretchy clothes it is hard to provide completely accurate measurements but the unstretched chemise measures roughly as follows.

Length from base to top of cup = 22”
Width across hips = 28”

The thong portion of the set is made from 100% polyester. Unlike the top it only has a mesh panel rather than the floral pattern. It has a single label with care instructions on it. It is a little basic when compared to the floral pattern and ruffles of the chemise. Lying flat and not stretched it measures in at around 25” inches. Being made of polyester as opposed to elastane or spandex it does not have a tremendous amount of stretch. It will accommodate up to a 30” waist comfortably but any more than that and you would probably want to move up to a medium.

-Care-

As with most lingerie the care instructions are to be gentle as possible. They should be handwashed in cold/luke warm water and be allowed to line dry. They are not suitable for tumble drying or ironing.

-Wear/Appearance-

Once out of the packaging and on I have to say I thought it looked very well on my partner. The floral pattern on the chemise looks well and provides skin coverage but still shows off a little. This is great for teasing. It has gorgeous ruffles at the bottom that make it look really cute. The removable garter straps are great because it allows you the decision rather than having them permanently sewn on. The thong is a little bit basic and as described by my partner is comfortable enough to wear.

-Summary-

Overall I would have to say this is a pretty decent set. It has a fairly reasonable price tag and looks really good on. My only major issues are the fact that the labels are difficult to remove as they can irritate with long term wear. The thong is also a little basic but not bad. The materials are pretty decent and as described by my partner comfortable enough to wear. The hanger is nice as it has the logo in fancy writing on it and can double for storing the item. I would say if you like floral pattern lingerie or the colour pink then this set is definitely worth trying out.
