I am not a fan of crop tops, but this design is one that can accentuate a waist. I'm also a sucker for pinstripes. This color combination is really pretty too, but not overtly feminine. It's a cute unique design, and I like that it has minimal padding and the addition of under-wire. It's low key enough to fit under clothing or be paired with panties for a lingerie set. The materials are pretty nice, but the fit could be a little better. It's a new twist on the trusty bra, fun and sexy.

*Contents/overview: One piece bra

*Pinstripe woven and lace bra

This bra is more like a cropped cami. It has an extension of fabric and lace. There is very light padding, and the cups have under-wire. It has a long double row of eye and hook closure in the back. The straps are also adjustable. It comes in this black and red-ish pink color combination, in sizes S, M, and L.

*Material: Great

The bra is made of 100% polyester, exclusive of trim. The trim is rhinestone, padding, satin bow, and lace bottom. The lace is lovely. It's really soft, stretchy, and has a typical floral pattern. It feels really high quality. The outer material isn't as soft. It's a bit starchy and scratchy, but for some reason it isn't as scratchy when it isn't on the cups. It's softer elsewhere. This fabric is stretchy, but not as much as the lace. The inside of the cups have a fine felt like feel which is really soft. The padding is only about 1/8" thick. The rhinestone is plastic, but doesn't look cheap.



*Design/craftsmanship: Very nice

The is basically a really short cami, or a bra with long lace trim. The middle of the bra doesn't come down all that far. The cups are full, but a bit short even for a smaller bust than I have. The cups are molded and a tad pointy. When they are formed, they are only 4" tall going up the middle seam and about 7" wide. They touch in the center with the under-wire. On the top of the cups they are finished with a satin feeling strip of fabric. In between the cups is a red bow. It is secured by the circle clear rhinestone sewn through it. Compared to other rhinestones on Coquette items I've seen recently, this one looks great. From the middle of the cups where the rhinestone is to the bottom of the lace is 6 1/2". 3 1/2" of that is the pinstripe material and then there is the 3" thick lace trim.

The cups have triangle straps that are about half as wide as regular bra straps. They then connect to a plastic piece where a regular bra strap is also connected. These are adjustable. Right above where they connect are little matching bows. In the back there are 8 tiers of hook and eye closures. There are two rows, 1/2" apart from each other.

*Cleaning/care/storage: Hand wash, Hang to dry

The tag says to hand wash and hang dry. This is actually fine in a lingerie bag. You can then wash it on a short, cool cycle. I lay it flat to dry. It came on a plastic hanger in a plastic bag with an attached cardboard bi-fold with pictures of a model wearing the bra in it.

Made in China.

*Sizing/fit: True to chart, but cups are too small compared to rest

I wear a medium in most Coquette corsets, but sometimes the cups are too small and don't offer support, but this has straps and under-wire, so I stuck with the medium. I debated going for the large. Turns out that the cups would have better for me in the large, but the rest would have been too big. There's only one design flaw. The top of the "band" is tighter than the middle and bottom of it, so I like to have that very top eye and hook on the largest size, but the rest on the smallest.

The medium is supposed to fit a 8-10 dress, B cup, 36-38", and 26-30" waist (don't worry about hips). I weigh ~142 pounds (size ~8); curvy but fit, with size 34/36 D breasts. My waist is about 30". It makes total sense for the cups to be too small for me. I think they'd be okay for a moderate C, but I spill over as you can see in the side pic. I can pull my breasts down so this isn't as dramatic, but it is less comfortable then. This bra actually makes my boobs look smaller because I can't quite fit all of them in the small cups and under-wire. Other than the top of the band being smaller than the rest, there are no other issues. For some, they may not like the straps being so far to the side, but they didn't irritate me.



In the last pictures, you can see that I am being cut into. If only the cups were a little taller...I could get away with it.

My Re-done chart: For the medium - runs true to size
Dress: 8-10
Cup: B-C (moderate C)
Band: 36-38"
Waist: 28-32"

*Possible accessories:|


The Panty with heart cutout or the Pinstripe woven panty are great option for pairing on the bottom.

*Conclusion: 4 stars ❤❤❤❤

I'm giving this 4 stars, but wish I could give it 4 1/2. It is true to size, but the cup to band ratio is small, in my opinion. It will work for some people, but will be best for those with smaller breasts, no matter what size they are.

I still really like this bra because it is so damn cute, but it can become uncomfortable after a while, because my boobs are too large for it. It's actually a really good work out top! It's cropped so I don't get too hot. It fits under clothing and can peak out under tank tops. I've even worn it under a button up vest.
