Lovehoney Plus Size Lace-Up Satin Chemise Red

This chemise is so flattering for my figure, and the fabric is so soft.

The lace up back caters for different sizes and is easy to figure out. It's extremely comfy also which I loved for lingerie as it's usually so uncomfortable.

It makes me feel super sexy when I wear it!

I love this chemise. Being a larger lady I was a bit worried about quality for such a great price, but when it arrived I should never have doubted Lovehoney.

It looked and felt fantastic. The fabric felt so smooth against my body, and the criss cross tie at the back attached to the straps is made of a stretchy material.

I was able to position the chemise exactly where I wanted it. It just felt part of me. The reaction I got when I put it on had the desired effect, and he could not keep his hands off me. Love it and just ordered it in Black.

This item got held up in customs and I didn't get it in time for Valentine's Day. So, I had to run to Macy's and get a replacement Chemise for Valentine's day or the plans I had made would be ruined.

So, that makes for a great comparison review!

The Macy's chemise was also red and cost about $5 more than the Lovehoney, but the Lovehoney one is SO much better!

Positives:

The fabric on the Lovehoney chemise is soft, shiny, and stretchy enough to hug my OH's curves deliciously. (My opinion - not hers. She of course HAD to ask me if it made her look fat). My wife said it was very comfortable. This is high praise - she is top heavy. Nearly all one-piece Lingerie will either press her top in like a sports-bra and/or looks like a tent around the hips. This item is stretchy enough that it form fit to both her top and bottom wonderfully, leaving little to the imagination. Very yummy!

The fabric is very soft and touchable - I found myself wanting to touch it rather than run my hands underneath it, as I tend to do with most lingerie.

Negatives:

My wife found it a bit difficult to put on the first time alone - she found the strings in back got wrapped around her neck the first few times trying to put it on. The Macy's chemise did not have this issue.

It is a bit too form-fitting and stretchy for daily wear around the house with the kids around. I was hoping for something conservative enough that I could get a little eye candy during the daytime, but isn't appropriate for that. It is too short, barely covering her bottom, and too stretchy, making her nipples very prominent. Great to look at for me - not great for the kids.

Another negative for other women is that it may be too short. My wife it 5'2", and it barely covers her bottom (which is perfect sizing IMHO). However, if she were taller, her butt would probably hang out the bottom.

The last negative is the Lovehoney charm. My wife noticed it is only on one side and is convinced the other one fell off, and searched for it for half an hour. I checked the photos online, I don't think it includes a charm on both sides. That isn't a big negative, but it drove her nuts for awhile.

This chemise cost less, fit better, is sexier, and is softer than the Morgan Taylor/Macy's chemise I picked up at the last minute as a replacement. The only advantage the Macy's chemise has is that being a little longer and looser-fitting (not stretchy), it can be worn with a robe and the kids around. The Macy's chemise is still nice, but I would more want to get it off her than touch it.
