Lovehoney Plus Size Red Long Sleeve Lace Mini Dress

My friend bought me this for a treat and it arrived today.

I couldn't wait to try it on see if it would fit as am a size 22 /24 as I ordered a size 18/24 but I slid the dress on and it fitted me perfectly. I walked into the living room where my friend was and he couldn't control the excitement as we made our way into the bedroom. I can't wait to try more outfits.

As always, delivery was quick discreetly packaged from Lovehoney - top quality service.

Upon receiving and opening the parcel, the Long Sleeve Lace Mini Dress was neatly folded around a piece of card inside a securely packaged sealed see-through plastic packet inside of Lovehoney's own brand signature packaging.

There are no tags on the dress but all info you need to know is right on the back of the packaging. The usual stuff how to wash material and so on.

The dress is easy to get on and off. The lace and fishnet pattern is a amazing combination. Having the added detail at the top is something a little different for me. However, I would've preferred the top pattern to be a different colour, but that is just me, it does not take anything away from the dress at all.

Team this dress up with a sexy pair of heels or boots and go wild. Even using it alone looks great. I love the long sleeves on this dress.

The sizing was great. I'm a size 22 and had no problems with this dress. It fit me fine and was extremely comfortable for me to wear for as long as I wanted.

There is a great amount of stretch to this material enough to accommodate all sizes in my opinion. Having looked at the dress when opening it I was certain I was not getting into it. It did look tiny, but as I said there is a great stretch to this dress. The sleeves were a perfect length for my arms. I am short and worried that they would be way too long, but this was not the case.

The quality seems top drawer, as do all the Lovehoney brand items. Does not feel cheap in any way.

One thing I would say is I think, like other fishnet items I have, they seem like they are easy for us to click them with a nick in mine or hubby's nail, so just be careful on that part. Other than that, no problems. Cleaning it is easy and simple. Simply hand wash.

I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of fishnet and lace and/or fan of Lovehoney's own brand items which never disappoint they keep us amazed item after item.

I have become very fond of lingerie over the past year so have built up a rather sizeable collection. This dress makes it into the top three easily!

First of all the packaging was excellent. The dress was parcelled up onto a card, in a plastic bag, inside a simple card pack much like a pair of stockings or tights. The design is simple yet effective, plain purple and black which fits perfectly with the Lovehoney-branded range. There are no smutty graphic images, just a simple sketch of the product on the back. It fit through the letterbox in its discreet jiffy bag, so I didn't have to wait in for my postie.

When removing the garment from the pack it looked tiny, but I know from owning a few mini dresses and body stockings that looks are always deceiving. It slid on with ease, no stretching, no pulling and no shoehorning myself into it. It hugged my curves and fit beautify with room to spare. The quality is outstanding as always with Lovehoney products. There are no loose threads, no puckered stitching, just pure perfection with the dress.

The dress is a beautiful shade of red with such a stunning pattern. The soft stretch main body is a different pattern and texture to the lace top. This for me adds to its stunning effect. The long sleeves and Bardot neckline is classically sexy. I find bare shoulders very alluring and I love to show them off.

The sleeve length is brilliant. I am tall with very long legs so have long arms to match. The sleeves fit down past my wrist and the skirt sits below my bum. It really is a perfect fit on my size 18 figure. I felt not only sexy as heck but confident too, and there is nothing sexier than a lady with confidence!

Not only does it look fantastic it feels fantastic. There is a lot on show yet I didn't feel over exposed. The comfort level is very high! The main lace is like a soft fishnet and the top lace is as soft as silk.

I've worn this to tempt my husband, I've watched DVDs and ate pizza in it and I have even slept in it. I can honestly say it's as comfortable as my oversized t-shirt and knocked combo!

My husband loves me in this, he can never take his eyes or hands off of me which I adore! I really like the attention from him "I think you could wear it over a vest top" he says. I'm not quite that confident...yet!

You may have noticed my lack of G-string review. First of all I didn't expect there to be one. I thought it was just a dress, so seeing a G-string fall out the pack was a bonus I thought initially.

The bonus feeling soon vanished. The G-string isn't great. It feels like an afterthought that was just thrown in. The quality isn't as high as it is with the dress. There are several loose fibres on the end of the elastic straps that looks frayed and pull easy.

The fit isn't great either. The don't sit well on my bum and the front lace seems to "bumf" out quite a lot as if it was designed to accommodate the male anatomy. It wasn't comfortable, so I switched it for my flirty briefs which are a similar colour and are more me. That is the beauty about red pieces you can chop and change your underwear with your mood. Sadly the G-string will live at the bottom of my knicker drawer.

As I said the G-string was a bonus so it does not lower my opinion on this. I adore this dress and wear it every chance I can!
