I just received my new chemise in the mail. I received a gift for Christmas and needed to exchange the size and color. The customer service representative was excellent and prompt. Very very easy return and exchange.
So judging by their sizing chart I thought that I was an extra large. I am 5’9 ,186 pounds, my bust is 36DDD. I found the extra large to be too big on me actually. I tend to carry my weight all over rather than just in my hips ,butt or belly. So I found that the size large fit me best. I found the extra large to be a bit loose in the bust and in the torso, and just looked a little frumpy on me ,so I was happy when they allowed me to switch the size.
I just find that the large fits in a more flattering way for me, rather than the extra large that was suggested by their sizing chart. It Hugs my curves a little more without being clingy
I ordered the red, and the colour was very true to the picture. I would say it’s a mix of sexy and pretty. The material is very soft, and The lace is also soft, not scratchy at all.
The straps are thinner but seemed very strong and have metal hardware rather than the flimsy plastic hardware most items I find have. I get the impression that this will be more durable.
Also about the fabric, it seems to easily get static cling.
As I mentioned I am 5 ‘9. The chemise hits me at about a foot above the top of my kneecap if that makes sense. I would say it covers my bum by about 3 inches. If you were taller than me you might want to choose the longer option.
The chemise does hold my boobs in place and they do not spill out of the top or out of the sides but I do find it gives me a bit of a Uni- boob Unless I adjust them every now and then.
The extra large size did seem to accommodate my boobs better but did not give me as much lift simply because it wasn’t tight enough around my chest to give that support.
I just noticed they were having a sale and decided purchased A second one of these in a different color. I do think it’s a tad on the expensive side for what it is, so consider it a splurge. It is hard to find items that fit my body nicely and lift my boobs and hold them in place comfortably so that’s how I justify the purchase.
I hope this helped! Do not hesitate to purchase if you’re concerned about the sizing. As I said previously the customer service people were excellent.
