I tried a white lace chemise from the brand Obsessive, and we took advantage of the opportunity to take a few photos to show you the result. Here is our lingerie review of the Obsessive Bride chemise.
To be honest, the word “chemise” doesn’t really strike me as sexy.
“Chemise”… at the mere mention of this garment, I picture a dated black-and-white erotic scene… The coquettish Josette takes off her stockings and her chemise to frolic on the carpet. But in fact, chemises are lovely (help, I can’t stop making rhymes!).
However, the Bride chemise is a world away from the grandmother’s chemise cliché. A lovely little white dress, designed to be worn in the privacy of your bedroom – at night if you wish, but generally not for sleeping.
“Bride”, “fiancée” in English: with Valentine’s Day approaching, this garment has a name that fits the season.

Packaging of the Bride chemise
Like the Miyo dress, from the same brand, which we had previously tested, the Bride chemise arrives in a rather simple box, but perfectly presentable.
Inside, the undergarment is covered with tissue paper.
First impressions of the Bride chemise
The Bride chemise is a delicate white dress, openwork and see-through.
In short: nothing like a pyjama, nor a garment you’d wear in public. It’s a chemise made to be worn in the privacy of your bedroom, and above all, to be taken off.
Sizes
The Bride chemise is available in two sizes, S-M and L-XL. The dress itself being quite stretchy, and its straps adjustable, it should, I think, accommodate differences in body shape from one person to another without too much difficulty.
Fabric
The Bride chemise is made of a soft and stretchy fabric: 90% polyamide and 10% elastane.
The garment’s label, located at the back, recommends hand washing at 30 degrees.
The neckline of the Bride chemise
The neckline and the central front area of the Bride chemise are made of thick lace, adorned with a row of beads (plastic, of course), spaced a few centimetres apart. This “band” starts from under the bust and runs down to the hem of the dress.
From the back
The rest of the fabric is a very fine mesh, almost see-through.
The roses adorning this fabric are identical (apart from their colour) to those on the Miyo dress. In itself, this is not a problem, since you don’t necessarily need to collect the brand Obsessive’s garments, but one could fault the brand with a slight lack of variety.
The matching thong
Like with the Miyo dress, a matching thong to the Bride chemise is included.
At the front, this thong picks up the motifs of the chemise’s neckline, which is well thought out. However, one could fault it for the presence of a label bearing the brand’s logo, red, on the front, and its shape being a bit too “string” in the back.
Wearing
The Bride chemise is quite comfortable, the fabric is soft, it doesn’t dig in, and consequently, doesn’t create any bulges.
It should be noted, however, that if you do plan to actually sleep in it, the beads can be a tiny bit uncomfortable if you sleep on your stomach.
It reveals the bust, without really exposing it.
Conclusion on the Obsessive Bride chemise
The good points:
- The Bride chemise is a lovely sexy indoor outfit.
- It is rather comfortable.
- Its price is very reasonable (less than forty euros)
The bad points:
- Nothing special to report, apart from the fact that the thong is a bit too “simple” to my taste.
In short: it’s a lovely little chemise, not too expensive and sexy. A lovely idea for a Valentine’s Day treat – or for any occasion.
