Lovehoney Hourglass Red Mini Dress

This dress arrived in the usual manner with the minimum of packaging.

It is labelled as one size. I am 5' 3" tall, size 12/14, 33" waist and 39" hips. When you take the dress out of the box you immediately think it will never fit. Don't worry it is very stretchy! It fitted me perfectly with still more stretch left in it for someone larger than me.

A lovely shade of red and very soft to the touch. The front panel is a solid block that is quite a thick stretchy stocking type material. The sides and back are a mesh effect stretchy material that is almost velvet-like to the touch. It has very thin straps over the shoulders, which were very comfortable.

There are no seems, and the hems at the top and bottom are of a high quality. You just get a lovely silhouette as the whole dress clings to your body. It is very short and does have a tendency to ride up a little, and given the very skimpy nature of the design, it leaves very little to the imagination, which is what hubby liked best about it!

It's very easy to slip in and out of. It hand washed and dried very easily.

When I saw there was an opportunity to review a Lovehoney mini dress I put myself forward straight away - and was lucky enough to be chosen!

I pretty much own every single Lovehoney mini dress and bodystocking on the website, so I am always looking for new products to try.

The product came in its usual discreet brown packaging on the outside, which is always really good service.

The box which this mini dress was inside just had the name of the mini dress and the Lovehoney lingerie brand written on the front. It also said what colour the dress was - 'red' on the front, and when I turned the box over to look at the back it gave a brief description of the product and an indication of the style of material, which was helpful.

When I opened up the box, the dress was wrapped inside a plastic wrapping and a piece of cardboard was inside to keep the dress in place. I unfolded the dress and carefully examined it, noting there was no loose material or marks on the dress.

With any Lovehoney mini dress I find the easiest way to put them on is by stepping into the dress and pulling it up onto my body. However, with this dress it is just as easy to put it over your head. The front of the dress is obviously where the opaque panel is designed to be and down the sides and at the back of the dress is the netted material.

This product does say 'one size', so as with other Lovehoney mini dresses I expect this to mean size 8-16. I am size 12 and found this fitted on me perfectly. However, just to note that obviously this is a 'mini' dress so covers just enough of the rear area. I am also 5foot5 and found this to be the case.

I was very pleased with the way it looked on me and felt. I loved the vibrant red colour of the dress. I also loved the texture of the sheer red material. It felt so soft against my body and the netting made it feel sexy. The small shoulder straps also held it in place, and although there isn't any structured support in the breast area, I found that because the dress is pretty tight fitting it did give some fitted support to the dress.

Overall, I am very happy that I got the opportunity to review this Red Lovehoney Hourglass Sheer Mini Dress as I already own the black version and a lot of the items I buy are black. But this item might change my mind!

I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone who is a fan of Lovehoney Mini Dresses and wants to add some sexiness to their wardrobe!

Very sexy little dress, nice smooth fabric that clings to all of your curves.

It arrived in the usual discreet packaging and I was eager to try it on, the dress on opening looked really tiny, but it has so much stretch it fitted perfectly!

Although being 5ft 9 tall it was definitely a 'mini' dress, but that just made it all the more exciting for my partner, who commented on the quality of the dress as well as how sexy it was!

I paired it with the red fishnet stripe top stockings that compliment it perfectly.
