Lovehoney Plus Size Long Sleeve Red Mini Dress

When the dress arrived and I took it out the packaging I laughed wondering how I was going to fit into it.

But then I put it on and wow. It fits beautifully and it's very comfy. Im 5'2" size 18 40DD chest and it comes to a few inches above my knees and isn't too tight anywhere.

My husband loved seeing me in it.

Lovely item, wife tried it on when it came and looked very sexy, giving me an instant erection, which led to some great fun.

The only thing we would say is bad with it was it looks and feels a bit cheap. But overall if it makes her feel sexy, then great.

Arrived on time in an anonymous, padded envelope as part of Lovehoney’s sex toy testing. For size reference, I usually take a UK 16 underwear but 18 jeans (clothes sizing is weird), I'm 5ft 8 with 36G chest.

The dress arrived in a standard Lovehoney cardboard sleeve that is used for many hosiery items. I've expressed my love for this simple packaging in many a previous review as it's simple, classy and informative with a little diagram of what you're getting on the back so you can tell the arse from the elbow, so to speak.

Since this was a secret tester item I was given limited info on this dress' design. When I first pulled it out the packaging I was sceptical. I'm a young fashion-conscious 21-year-old so usually I'm about strappy black numbers and sleek patterns. The red long sleeve number that was entirely sheer seemed a bit 80s porno for my usual taste but I'm open to new things so I popped this on.

Was very happily surprised. The material hugs my figure but is also comfy to wear and doesn't dig in. It emphasises my curves in a good way. The dress stays above the knee but is long enough to keep my butt in and the neck isn't too low that I'm falling out but not uncomfortably high on me. The sleeves ruch a bit and are a little too long but not massively.The dress makes me feel very sexy and shows off my shape :)

The quality of this dress is high and even thought I'm clumsy I'm certain I wouldn't rip or ladder this dress. You can tell the back from front due to a little label at the back of the neck so no confusion there. Would definitely recommend this.

My other half ordered this (and a few more items) as a surprise one night. The effect was stunning when teamed up with stockings and panties.

My OH is a plus size and this fit her perfectly. The effect it had on me made it a very enjoyable evening. It's very figure hugging. The only downside we could find is that the arms are just a tad too long. A great product that will see lots of use but only in the bedroom! Not for going out in.

It always makes me feel very privileged and special when I receive an email telling me I have been selected to test run anything for Lovehoney, even more so when it’s a secret tester. I always carry out my duty with pride and the following review is the result of such a testing.

My parcel arrived exactly on time and in it’s usual plain and secure packaging. All I knew was I should expect a Red - Long Sleeved Mini Dress (Plus Size). Inside my brown box, I found a tastefully designed, purple Lovehoney box containing an ‘Opaque Long Sleeved Mini Dress.’ I was already pretty sure I knew how this was going to look as I already own a couple of Opaque Lovehoney pieces, and I Iove them. When I took this out of its box I was even more convinced this was going to be just my thing. However, once I unwrapped it from its card insert I did find myself a little disappointed.

I can only describe the material as similar to a thickish pair of opaque tights, it has plenty of stretch to it, but maybe not as much support as other similar Lovehoney items. It is a very plain dress, I had been hoping for a little lace maybe around the neck and cuffs, but nothing. I really like the idea of long sleeves as I am very conscious of my ‘bingo wings’, but sometimes fitted sleeves are no good for me as I have pretty chunky upper arms. Feeling a little underwhelmed I tried the dress on.

For comparison's sake, I am a size 16/18, 36C (ish) boobs and stand approx 5’11” tall. The dress fits well, including the sleeves, but as already mentioned the material is not as sturdy as the other Lovehoney Opaque items I already own, I found myself being very conscious of my tummy area. The thickness of the material leaves nothing to the imagination as it becomes pretty see-through as you put it on. Obviously, this is not such an issue as likely to only be worn for bedroom wear, but I could see it being worn as outerwear with a nice bra underneath by someone with much more confidence than myself. The dress does manage to cover my bum when pulled down, but with movement tends to ride up somewhat.

I am usually one of the first to shout from the rooftops when Lovehoney produce a new item, but on this occasion, I think it will be more of a muffled whisper - sorry, but you did ask.

I have rated highly for value for money as obviously I received this free and don't know what the price is.
