iCollection Plus Size Padded Lace Chemise

The chemise and thong arrive on a plastic hanger folded in a cellophane bag, which means there is no embarrassing disposal of the packaging. It's always a worry of mine that the bucket or recycling bin will tip over revealing to the neighbours/bin men what Hubby and I get up to!

The chemise is a lovely pale pink colour which does not show up in the pictures very well, which is a shame. It feels nice and soft and has a good stretch to it but instead of using pink or even white thread to join the sections at the side they have used the same black as everywhere else, which leaves you with a very noticeable black line down each side.

There are black lace panels front and back which don't feel scratchy at all. At the top of each panel you have ribbon lacing so you can tighten/loosen the bra area. I will say be careful with how tight you make it as the sections for the ribbon to go through are not very strong and I ended up putting a small hole in the lace at the back on first wear because I pulled too tight.

The bra section of the chemise is very thick padding and I found this really helped to give my breasts a good shape. I loved that I could adjust the back lacing and the straps at the back of the chemise to get the best possible fit as this has been a major issue for me with other ranges.

The thong is really pointless and is still on the hanger as it is so basic, just black mesh and elastic, really not in keeping with the chemise and quite lets it down. More an after thought not an enhancement. I ended up wearing a pair of knickers I had instead and it did not spoil the overall look.

When I put it on, over head is best as the bra section is too small to go over hips. It came to just under my bum and did not ride up much at all. Not that Hubby bothered much as he got a flash of bum. It fitted really nice and made me feel quite sexy and being jumped on by Hubby when he saw me in it was quite a confidence booster.
