Design/Material/Use

The Heart print bustier and g-string from Coquette is a wonderful bustier and g string set made of 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex, with lace trim around the chest and bottom. It is adorned with 5 bows- one large bow in between the breasts, 2 large bows above each leg and 2 tiny ones on each strap. It comes in a beautiful white and pink color combination with a lovely heart pattern, under-wire for the chest area and two plastic bones down the front.


This would make a great gift for Valentine's Day, whether you are gifting it or wearing it. But just because there's hearts on it doesn't mean it can't be worn any other time of the year. I think this piece would be a great gift for any time. This fits very well, and for a woman with a bit smaller of a chest I think it would do wonders for your breasts.


Measurements/Fit

I measured the piece by laying it flat, and it is 23 inches long from the lace frill at the bottom to the top of the straps. It is 28 inches around at the bust, 26 inches around at the waist, and about 32 inches around at the hip (Note to readers: Not sure if I measured that correctly, it is kind of hard to measure a piece when it isn't on anything! Please let me know if this is not the correct way to do it. Thanks!).I am 5’5 and measure a 42D, 36in waist and 46 inch hip I ordered an XL and it fits me wonderfully, with the exception of the chest area which lacks support for larger chested women. It fits kind of funny in that area, as the wire doesn’t stay put to keep the girls in place well and I find myself constantly re adjusting them to keep them from popping out. Other than that the material is wonderfully stretchy and fits to my form very well. The G string fits good too.
I am happy that I have finally found something that flatters my form, it is hard to find good lingerie when you have some meat on your bones.



The only issue I had with this besides the lack of support is that the boning in the front is kind of flimsy. I'm not sure if it is supposed to bend as much, but when I sit down it goes out with my belly a little bit (hope that makes sense!). I once had a corset top that had the same issue, and after I wore it a couple of times the wires were permanently jutting out so it looked weird when I stood up.

I plan on saving this for a special occasion or romping around the house in, but I'm not sure if it can stand up to frequent uses. I will let everyone know how it does over time in the follow up review.

Maintenance and Storage

The bustier needs to be hand washed and air dried in order to preserve its condition. I suppose this is due to the wiring inside and I can see it being destroyed in the wash. I plan on washing the G string with the rest of the laundry, and I doubt it will shrink due to the material. This is best kept hung in the closet on a hanger, since folding and storing in a drawer could cause it to be misshapen as well.

The previous encounter I had with lingerie was not a good one, and it resulted in anunpleasant experience and review. I have also been struggling with self confidence issues after having my son and losing my pre-baby form and weight. I decided to take a back seat to the lingerie and stick to reviewing vibes and dildos. However, with my recent excursions at Eden and the desire to feel sexy again I decided to give it another shot. I have been reading lots of good reviews as far as Coquette is concerned and I have been given hope once more that there is such a thing as lingerie for women of all shapes and sizes. I want to thank the many reviewers who inspired me to put myself back out there and help me gain back some of my confidence.
