I was so excited when I seen the Fishnet Studded Trim Dress by Coquette available. While I do love my lingerie, I love sexy outfits that I can wear out in public too. Also, it comes in my favourite colour (purple)! The dress is available in sizes S-XL. I purchased the size XL.

The dress arrived on a padded hanger, with a plastic bag around the dress for protection. There were no photos or text on the bag. I suppose you could use the bag when storing the dress, but I just keep mine on the hanger it came with. On the dress, there was a cardboard tag that states the brand name, and has a photo of a model wearing the dress on it. Also attached to the dress, was a small zip lock style bag that held the detachable shoulder straps.



I’ve taken measurements of the dress laying flat, unstretched. If you need additional measurements, send me a message and I can get them for you.

Detachable, Adjustable Shoulder Straps
Length: 9 ¼- 16 ¾ inches
Width: just under ½ inch

Dress
Bottom of dress width: 24 inches
Underneath chest width: 17 inches
Studded section: 17 inches wide, 2 ¾ inches tall
Dress length (armpit to bottom of dress): 25 ½ inches
Cup length: 5 ½ inches

The dress is made of 80% nylon and 20% spandex. The dress has two layers of material to it. The bottom layer is purple lycra; the top is the black fishnet. These layers are sewn together at the very bottom of the dress. The material is not see-through and does not become see-through the more you stretch the material. The dress has some stretch to it, except the chest area and the studded trim. The studded trim is only on the front of the dress (it does not go all the way around). There are 8 rows of 51 black, plastic studs. The studded trim is flexible and moves with you. Below are two photos of the studs. The top photo shows the studs at the side of the dress, and the bottom photo shows how flexible the trim is.



The dress can be worn with or without the shoulder straps. The loops to attach the shoulder straps to are on the inside of the dress, so if you choose not to wear them it won’t look odd. I prefer wearing the shoulder straps, but you don’t have to. The chest area of the dress has a very light padding in it so you do not need to wear a bra with the dress. Below is a photo of one of the detachable, adjustable shoulder straps beside the hanger it came with.



I’m 5’6 and the dress went down to the middle of my thigh. This is a tad too short for me to wear in public without leggings, though it does not show my bum cheeks or anything. It’d be fine to wear in public, but I just personally prefer a bit more length. If you are taller than 5’6, you may have more of a problem with the length. I didn't have a problem getting the dress on or off because it has stretch to it. I put it on over my head, and slid it down my body. I took it off this way as well.

The material is comfortable and doesn’t bother my skin while wearing it. The material is thin though, so you can see an underwear line (assuming you are wearing underwear with the dress). Also, because the material is thin, it’s going to show any curves or chunky parts underneath. You can see this on me in the photos below.

I wear a C38 bra, and the chest on this dress fit me well. The chest area is a bit gappy at the top if I don’t wear the shoulder straps, but with the shoulder straps it’s perfect. I think the chest area could be worn comfortably by a cup size larger than mine.

The care tag in the dress states that the piece should be hand washed and hung to dry.

Below are some photos of the dress on me. I apologize that they aren’t as good as my usual photos but I had to take these myself since my partner wasn’t around. The first photo shows a front-view, the second shows a side view, and the third… well, I just added that one in because it was a blooper photo while I was trying to take good photos for the review. My face looks nervous and scared in that one hah!



You can see in both the first and second photo that if you have any belly pudge like me, this dress isn’t going to hide it. I was wearing a pair of jean leggings and you can see that they are a bit tight on me, creating muffin top. You can see the muffiny-ness through the material. This really was the only thing I didn’t like when I was wearing the dress.

Overall, I give the dress a 4 out of 5. The only reason I subtracted a star is because the material is so darn thin! The dress is pretty though, and I’ll definitely be wearing it next time I go out.
