Coquette's Lace Overlayed Satin Bra and Garter set includes a bra, thong, and mini garter skirt. I got this after reading quite a few glowing reviews on it. It's a beautiful set, but will work best on those that are smaller in the bust than I am.

PACKAGING

The set arrives on a hanger and wrapped in a plastic bag for protection. It comes on a clear hanger, not one of the padded hangers.



SIZING

I have this in a medium. For the medium, I should be between dress sizes 8-10. I should have bust measurements between 36"-38" with a B cup. My waist should measure between 26"-30". My hips should measure between 38"-40". My actual dress size is a 6 with a few size 4's and 8's scattered in between. My waist is 28" and my hips are 39". My bust is 34DD/36D.

The bra is 14.25" across when attached at the loosest hook. It has three hooks for adjustment. Each cup is 4.25" underneath. The cups are 4.5" high. The straps are adjustable. The thong is 14.5" across. It is 8.25" down. It has a 3" cotton liner. It is not very stretch so it is important to make sure that this size will fit properly. The garter skirt is 14.25" across. It is 2.5" down. This part is stretchy and will fit more sizes than the thong. The garters are adjustable and will fit a variety of heights.



The thong and garter skirt fit me well. The thong was a little bit long, but only by a very small amount. The garter skirt will stretch to accommodate sizes larger than what I am, but the thong will not fit past the size chart measurements. The bra fits fine, but does not cover much. Only 3" of the bra is made of the red material while the rest is see through lace. This works out to be a bit of a shelf bra on my D/DD cups. This could be a good or bad thing depending on what you're buying this for. If it's for bedroom use, it works out well. If it's for daily use, perhaps not so much. It will work best on the B cup it is listed for and possibly up to a C with decent coverage. It does offer a good amount of support, similar to what you could get in a regular bra.

MATERIAL

The set is made of 100% polyester exclusive of trim. It is a red shiny material that is then covered in a black lace. The material feels silky to the touch. It's not super thick, but it's not thin either. The bra has a little bit of padding in it, but not enough to really add a boost to cup size. The lace only touches the body at the cups. It feels slightly scratchy, but not enough to be irritating. The garter skirt is stretchy, but the underwear and bra are not. The material is comfortable against the skin and can be worn for extended periods without becoming itchy.

DESIGN

The top of the bra is simple lace. It is see through, but the lace pattern makes it so that it hides a little bit and isn't completely see through like a mesh would be. The bottom half of the bra is the red silk material with the black lace continuing on down to cover it. Part of the side of the bra is done in the same design and the very back is plain black material.



The middle of the bra features a small black bow. It has a little lip charm that dangles in between the cups.



The front of the thong is done in the same red silky material with the black lace overlay. The back of the thong is a black silky material.



The garter skirt is done in the same material, but they are not sewn together like in the other pieces. This creates a frilly effect to the garter skirt. The garters are black and the attachment piece is done in plastic.



QUALITY

The piece arrived without a fray or loose thread. The seams all line up properly. After use, I did find one fray near the back seam of the thong. The material does seem delicate and care should be taken to keep it in the condition it came in.

CARE

This should be hand washed in cold water. It should be line dried. It should not be placed in the drier or ironed. It should not be bleached.

If I would have gotten this to wear as a regular bra, it wouldn't have worked since it just doesn't cover much of my breasts. Since I got it to wear in the bedroom, the fact that it only covers about half of my breasts before the lace part starts isn't really an issue. In fact, my husband seems to think this is the selling point of the set. It fits perfectly otherwise, and I suppose it's not really a fit issue with the cups as much as a coverage issue. The support offered is pretty impressive for lingerie.

The material and design is gorgeous. It really is just a stunning piece. The red contrasted with the black is very sexy and makes this really stand out and pop to the eye. It's comfortable to wear. If you can sleep in underwire the bra and thong could even be something you sleep in.

I feel sexy in this, but I wish the garter skirt was more of a skirt. It's really not much of anything and the bottom half of this just doesn't really cover anything. Since my hips are not my favorite part of my body, I'm always looking for something to cover that area a bit. It just shows a bit too much of the bottom half of me.

As much as I wish this covered a little more, my husband is thrilled with the amount of skin it shows. In fact, he has dubbed this his all time favorite piece of lingerie. When I wear this, he tells me how sexy I look non-stop. He likes the coloring and how exposed everything is. I don't think there's a single thing he doesn't like about this set.

While it's not my personal favorite due to the lack of coverage on my hips, seeing my husband's eyes light up is well worth the slight discomfort. The quality is high on the set and I'm happy with the amount of support I get from the bra. All in all, despite my wish for better hip hiding, I'm giving this five stars. Anything with such high quality and such a great response from my husband deserves nothing less.







Sorry about all the extra clothing. This set doesn't cover much and I didn't want to show that much skin online.
