The short version: this is a sexy, beautiful piece of lingerie and my babe is irresistible when she puts this on. Now, read on for the long version.

Both the babydoll and g-string arrive on a black padded hanger and is wrapped in clear plastic. I like this because it kept the item clean and dry during transit. It is soft and you WILL want to touch this, especially when someone is wearing it just to entice you.

The top of this is made like a woman's bra: There is a hook and eye closure in back and a large open space under the bra, creating a sort of peeka-boo space before continuing into a very flowy skirt. My wife loves spinning in this and I like seeing the very full skirt float upwards, showing just enough to get me interested. The top of the cups are outlined in 4 rows of square, pyramid like, shiny black plastic "studs". The cups have an underwire and are padded (I know because my wife told me this). Although the item is labeled as nylon/spandex, the product description says the bra part is made of lycra. I think the lycra is what gives the cups an almost unnoticable sheen. The skirt reaches about 2" below my 5'3" wife's crotch area.

The cups are the same material as the band below them: 90% nylon and 10% spandex (the stretchy component of this item). The cups of the bra and the g-string are decorated with the same plastic studs. The bra is a nice purple color, except for the adjustable straps which are black. The skirt is a soft, shimmery black--a nice contrast to the brighter purple top. The g-string, cups, and the band just below the cups (front only) are covered with purple fishnet material. I think it would have been a nice touch if the fishnet were black--then a nice pair of black thigh highs would really complete the look.

Coquette's sizing chart is accurate. My wife had me order an XL although her measurements, except her waist, are in the M/L range. Her waist, however, is 35" so she wanted to go up in size. This was a mistake because the bra had 5 extra inches. She is crafty and smart so she was able to make the adjustment. I wanted to exchange it for a large, which even she now admits would have been wiser. The adjustment she made to the bra sort of pulls some of the side to the back and looks a tad odd, but she says it is still comfortable for her 36 D's. It does not bind and is very soft.

I love this piece. Better yet, my wife loves this piece. It is not sheer so any women not comfortable wearing very sheer lingerie would enjoy this. Most of my wife's lingerie is sheer (and I am very happy with that) but she says that alot of women are not cofortable revealing so much skin. This is a more modest piece of lingerie.

My wife said that she loved wearing this item. Both the babydoll and g-string are comfortable but she would have preferred a skimpy pair of bikini style undies over a g-string. The fabrics are soft and did not itch or scratch either of us. Even though the bra part is very comfortable she does not sleep in it because of the underwire.

I think this could be worn as a bathing suit by a modest woman. You would need to supply some panties that are black and not sheer. You don't really see them while wearing, but I don't think anyone would want to wear a g-string at the beach (unless that is a 2 piece suit!).

Washing instructions are simple. The manufacturer recommends that it be hand washed and flat dried. You should not use bleach (unless you are a fan of spotted lingerie) nor should you iron this--I think it would melt. My wife says she would not toss this in a pillowcase and run through the washing machine because of the plastic studs. She says they would probably start to fall off and it may melt in a hot dryer. Nylon does not take well to high heat.

This is still a big hit for me. It is beautiful, wears and washes well and it is a style that looks good on any body type. The bra cups are soft yet formed and will give a nice shape to even the droopiest of breasts!!!
