Lovehoney Long Sleeve Red Mini Dress

This item arrived in a simple box. I have to say that when I first opened it up it looked absolutely tiny, I was thinking how would I fit this round me?! But it looks exactly like it does in the picture and looks so good on!

I'm a size 12 top and bottom and it looks amazing around the chest area! I'm 5'4 and it went just over my bum. Sent my OH some pictures and he absolutely loved it, can't wait to show him in person!

The Lovehoney Opaque mini dress is sure to delight all underwear enthusiasts. With a fantastic stretch designed to accentuate every curve yet covers every flaw there is sure to be some delighted ladies (or men) out there.

The dress comes in a simple Lovehoney box, with a clear plastic packaging inside which houses the dress and a piece of card to keep the shape in the box. One thing I must add at this point is that the material is very fine, similar a pair of tights, so do be careful as this will snag if caught.

The colour is a bright vibrant red which goes to an opaque red once on. The material as mentioned is comparable to a pair of tights, snug, stretchy and almost like a second skin and fits like a glove.

I've always hated my stomach and been conscious of lots of underwear which seems to draw attention to it, but although this clings to your skin and accentuates your curves it doesn't highlight any flaws due to its simple design. Being a size 8, I do have very slim arms and I was happy that the sleeves were a snug fit and didn't hang loose like I had expected they may.

Once I had the dress on, I showed my husband who announced this as his favourite piece of lingerie I own. Between the bum skimming length and the glimpse of what was underneath he declared this a winner in his books.

I most definitely am won over by this dress and will be adding other colours to my collection if Lovehoney bring them out!

This Lovehoney Long Sleeve Opaque Mini Dress arrived in the usual discreet outer packaging, and like Lovehoney's other mini dresses, it came in a its own cardboard box. This is really useful for me because it stands out in my lingerie drawer, making it easy to find. When you take it out of the packaging, it looks and feels very similar to a pair of opaque tights. The colour is a bright fire engine red, which I love. The material is fairly robust, although I'd be careful if you're wearing jewellery as it might snag.

Just like tights, the dress looks tiny but has lots of stretch. The box describes it as “one size.” I usually wear a 10 (sometimes a 12 on the top). Across my boobs and hips, the fabric is more stretched, so is much more see-through than opaque in those areas, whereas the arms are darker. If you're more petite than I am, this won't be an issue. I'm shorter than average, and I can pull the dress down so it sits at mid thigh, but as soon as I start to move it rides up and sits comfortably right under my bum. I definitely wouldn't be able to wear this outside of the bedroom, so I wouldn't buy this with the intention of wearing it as a proper dress.

This dress is super clingy. There's nowhere to hide your flaws in it and because it is so plain, there's no decoration to distract attention from them. If you have great boobs, or a great bum, or magnificent curves, this dress will really show them off. If like me, you have a wobbly tummy, it will also show it off! I've worn this twice now and I felt much more confident and sexy when I wore a bra and knickers under the dress and a pair of killer heels. If you're more body confident than I am, it will look really hot on its own.

The instructions say to handwash this dress. Since I always wash my normal opaque tights in the machine, I put it in a net laundry bag and washed it that way. It came out fine with no damage, so I'll probably wash it this way again in the future.
