I have been trying to delve deeper into bustiers and corsets. I am a busty 25 year old. My measurements are 38 DDD breasts (after a breast reduction). I wear a size 14 jean, or a size 8 standard panty. I am 5'5.
I understand how important it is to find sexy lingerie that is supportive, and I am always trying to write reviews that are clear on my feelings of a garment.

Writing this review is hard because I have split feelings when it comes to this red lace bustier. This has never happened to me with a product. I'll either love it, or hate it.

First of all, the fit is amazing. The bustier has two rows of 18 eyelets which allow you to tighten it just a little.

I ordered the XL size based on the Coquette size chart and it did me justice. If you look at the picture, you can see an elastic band. This helps the piece to give you an hour glass shape while adding some extra sexy to your overall look. I found that this bustier gives me some of the best support I have gotten from a bustier. It holds me up and in. I do have some spillage when in other positions, but I am alright with that.

In between the cups, there is a shiny red bow, and on the bottom above your legs there is one red bow on each side. All around the bottom are two layers of frilly lace or ruffles. The front stops right at my hip bones, and the back stops right above my butt. I will be ordering a pair of red lacy frilly underwear to pair up and complete the look.

I needed my fiance to help me close all 18 of the eyelets, which she had absolutely no problem doing. I may have been able to do it all myself, but I was feeling impatient. I will for the follow up review, and will let you know how that goes.

All of the structural pieces are made of clear plastic. The shoulder straps and garter belts are adjustable. One of my garter straps arrived broken, but I did try to use the others to hold up a fishnet thigh high. They are cheaply made, and were hard for me to close, but effectively held up my stocking.



The entire thing is made of nylon. It is stretchy all around which is good for those of us who need a little more give to get a perfect fit. Being that is it so delicate (cheaply made) I will only be hand washing this one. When I took it out of the wrapper, it held on to a funny plastic smell. I hoped that it would fade over time, but it has not. I have since masked the scent with my favorite fragrance, which seems to have done the trick.

This piece looks great on my body type. I have an hour glass figure and I love when lingerie flatters that shape.

Had I purchased this piece on my own, I would have sent it back in a heart beat. Straight out of the plastic, the boning that is necessary for support was sticking out. I tried the piece on after shoving the boning back in, and I loved it so much. I decided that I would mend the damaged boning with hot glue, and it seems to have done the trick. They did not come back out even after a rigorous romp in the bedroom.


Upon further inspection, one of the four detachable garters was broken, also right out of the package.

Luckily, I already have a red lace garter that matches well enough to maintain the sexy look.

This bustier has made several appearances in our bedroom since its arrival. It is now a permanent part of my lingerie line-up.

I threw away all of the garter belts and do not regret it. They were cheaply made and did not work well, especially since they were broken.

I highly recommend this piece after having had to fix it, even though I now know to return an item if it is faulty.
