The Holiday Stretch Panty by Coquette is available in one-size-fits-most and XL. I had purchased the XL size. The XL is actually the OS/XL on Coquettes size chart. There are a few differences between the two. I’ll get more into those details later.

The panty arrived in a clear plastic package. There were no images or text on the bag other than a small barcode sticker stating the colour and size. There was a cardboard tag attached to the panty that had a few images of a model wearing the underwear and stated the company name, product name, size, colour, and company website. I don’t find the plastic baggy to be ideal for storing the underwear. I just store my panties in my underwear drawer.



The panty is all black and colour and sheer because of the lace material. The waistband and leg holes are trimmed with elastic so they are quite stretchy. The lace material to the panty is stretchy as well. The tag states that the panty is 100% nylon, exclusive of trim.

I’ve taken a few measurements of the panty laying flat. If you need any additional measurements, please send me a message and I’d be more than happy to get them for you.

Waistband not stretched: 16 inches
Waistband stretched as much as I could: 28 inches
Length down side of panty: 5 ½ inches
Liner length: 2 ¾ inches

The lace has a cute floral pattern and is the same pattern as shown in the stock photo (you wouldn’t believe how many times this hasn’t been the case). There are two lines of slight ruching down the front of the panty, one above each leg hole. These vertical lines of ruching are approximately 2 ¾ inches in length, not stretched. They are approximately 7 ½ inches away from eachother in width. The ruched lines sit on an elastic band so you can pull this area downwards (or upwards) but the more you stretch it, the less ruched it will look.



There is a black bow made of ribbon beneath each line of ruching. The bows are fairly small. Each bow measures approximately 1 ½ inches wide and 1 ¾ inches in length. The bows are secured well to the panty but you could detach them permanently if you had a seam-ripper. I like the bows so I won’t be removing them. There is a small liner in the crotch of the panty.



It’s important to note the differences between the XL and OS/XL. If you look at Coquette’s size chart, you can see that the two are not the same. The differences that could be important to the panty would be weight and hip size. The hip size is probably the most important though. The XL gives a suggested weight bracket of 180-210lbs while the OS/XL gives a bracket of 170-200lbs. Last time I weighed myself I was in the high 160’s.

What would be more important is the hip size differences. The XL gives a suggested hip measurement bracket of 42-46 inches. The OS/XL is 42-50inches! So if you’re a bit larger than their regular size XL, that’s okay! My hip measurements (last time I checked) were 41 inches. I go with the larger pair though, simply because I hate muffin top. The highest hip measurement for the OSFM is 40. If you are in between like I am, I suggest getting the larger of the two because it’s hard to feel sexy when your hips are spilling over your panty.

The panty fit me really nicely. Before trying them on, I was thinking that they would look terrible. They look much nicer worn in comparison to having them lay flat on the floor for photos. They stretchy nicely and the lace is not irritating against the skin. The back of the panty covers the bum nicely. I did have a bit of bum cheek hanging out but I have a rather large bum to begin with.

The panty is quite comfortable. I think it would work nicely as an everyday-style panty as well as a sexy panty for the bedroom. The small bows beneath the ruched lines are not bulky so it won’t create bulges from beneath tight clothing. I did not experience any skin irritation while wearing the panty. The care tag states that the panty should be hand washed only and hung to dry. You’ll probably want to cut the tag out since it looks a bit awkward having a white tag show through the lacing at the back of the panty.

Overall, I like them! If you’re looking at my photos having second thoughts about them, I can’t stress enough that they look better when they’re actually worn (I just don’t take photos of my nakedness). They’re comfortable, stretchy, and look sexy. I’ve deducted one star from the rating because I noticed a few loose threads and uneven stitching. You can’t notice when they’re worn but there shouldn’t be any of that for the price.
