Coquette's 3x/4x Babydoll & G-String had been on my wishlist for a long time and I was so excited to get this in! I am addicted to purple and thought this piece would be brilliant! My biggest problem were the cups. Perhaps they just weren't made to accommodate larger ladies?


Packaging
This arrived simply on a cheap plastic hanger and folded into a clear plastic bag. The way an item is sent never bothers me though because how long will you really have it in there? It did it's job good enough as I noticed no wrinkles. The item comes tagged, but is held on with a safety pin so you can remove it without tearing anything. The tag itself is a fold over that just shows the piece in different positions, and on the back of the tag is your size, item number, and bar code.





Out of the Bag
It looks and feels sexy once you get this into your hands! The material is close netting so that it only has a slightly rough feel but still smooth and light.

82% Nylon
18% Spandex
Hand Wash Only

Babydoll:
The cups are made of black see-through lace with an underwire. Each cup measure about 5 1/2" wide from side wire to side wire, and the lace is about 6 1/2" tall from the bottom of the wire to till the lace ends. At the inner side of the cup, the underwire stops about 1 1/2" before the lace ends. There is a small sewn on bow between cups at the very top of the bust.

The rest of the babydoll flows nicely in that sheer purple netting. It comes down about 16" from the cups. The back has 3 adjusting bra settings and an open loop below that. I believe the loop was placed there for adjusting purposes so you have no pulled edges, but it's also a cute touch. There is also a seam that runs down each side of the babydoll, but it is well done.

As for the straps, they are black and smooth, and I've noticed no discomfort from them. They have a lot of adjustment to them. You can have them 9" from the armpit to the top and up to 14". The adjuster is easy to slide and doesn't clump.




G-String:
In the same material as the babydoll, the lace on this is 2" until the netting begins. I've measures 14" from the top of the lace until the string begins. The strings themselves are about a quarter of an inch wide and each piece is about 18" from where it starts at the lace and till it reaches the center at the bottom of the netting. It's also about 18" wide hanging loosely, but can stretch to at least 28" on your hips if need be.

The big dilemma with the thong is the placement of the tag. For some horrible reason they decided to attach the tag between the bottom of the lace and the netting in the front. The netting is see-through, so to leave the tag on you can SEE it in the front. If you tear it off, the seam will rip. All the tag says is the size as well, and as this is a set, I see no need to have even tagged it. As I had planned to throw this piece out anyways, I went ahead and tried to remove the tag as delicately as possible. Using tweezers and sewing scissors I removed the stitches holding the tag, and it still left a small hole. If anyone plans on getting this despite my review, I would suggest just cutting the tag from below the stitching and hoping what's left doesn't irritate you too badly.

I bought the 3x/4x because my mid-section is large, but the rest of me isn't proportionate. The g-string fit nice enough, if a bit loose. The babydoll itself was nice and flowing under my bust, if a bit too short (it came right above my crotch). I had planned on taking some pics, even though I'm embarrassed of my body, to give bigger girls like me a better idea on how this would fit. However, the cups were so horrible that I couldn't get a picture without scaring the general public.

It was the cups that ruined this entire piece for me. I'm not sure if it's the way they were cut, the sizing on them, or my weird ass self... but they would not work in any form. My breasts wouldn't all get into the cup without lifting the bottom of the underwire up and away from my skin. If I tried to pull my breasts apart and leave some of the sides out, the underwire still wouldn't lie flat as well as the front piece with the bow would roll forward. I have average size breasts and wouldn't have thought these would be a problem. I tried adjusting the backing to all three setting with no avail. To be fair, I usually buy plunge type bras so that the top piece won't push away from me, but that only happens when I sit and my roll sticks out.

For comparison, here are my measurements:
42 C
40 Waist
50 Hips

I had really thought this was to become my favorite piece of lingerie and am still stinging from the loss of my money and excitement. This has already been thrown into the trash in a fit of anger, haha.

Well, seeing as I had thrown this out, it's hard to write a follow-up in a new perspective. I CAN say that I'm still disappointed those cups failed me. I don't like wasting money. What I've learned is to NOT buy more items with underwires. If it's a piece I really want, I look closely at the shape of the wire. However, so far I've deleted all similar items from my wish list.
