While the cut of this panty is very flattering and quite comfortable, the construction of this and other Coquette lingerie items I have purchased is (unfortunately) substandard. The waistband stitching has a very bad tendency to break with the slightest stretching — not extreme or abusive, but simply pulling the garment on. I have worked in the garment industry and this suggests the use of an extremely cheap quality thread, one that has very low "tensile" strength. Although a repair of the "popped" stitches is fairly easy if one is adept with a needle and thread, it is an unnecessary hassle and detracts from the purchase and pleasure experience.

The sizing as "one size fits most" is generally very forgiving, allowing a wide range of body sizes to wear this panty comfortably. The stitching around the leg openings seems strong — no leg stitches have popped with multiple wearings, unlike with the waistband stitches. The low rise style of this panty is quite attractive and allows this panty to be worn under a wide range of clothing. Because of the form fitting nature of the fabric used (80 percent nylon, with 20 percent spandex), this panty has minimal show-through if you wear tight outfits. Of course, EVERYTHING will show under most revealing outfits!

Coquette offers a wide range of booty shorts, low rise boy shorts, and fetish oriented clothing items. I find the styling and designs very attractive, going from modern to somewhat risque, depending on the choice of item. This panty is constructed in slightly shiny stretch nylon; the Coquette "fetish" wet look booty short is similar in cut (and sadly, in the strength of the waistband stitching as well, as at least one reviewer has commented for that item). The pricing for this panty is reasonable, BUT its construction drawbacks might make some consider it overpriced for its quality in use. This panty presents the buyer with a dilemma: do you praise it for its use of nice fabric and good styling, or do you criticize it for its tendency to split at some stitching (fortunately, not at the seams)?

IN SUMMARY: this panty has a nice design and fits comfortably, but its poor construction results in it receiving just an average rating.

After several wearings and washings, the weak stitching continues to detract from the otherwise nice feel and look of this product. I can never be sure if, should my foot snag the waistband when pulling on or pulling off the short, another set of stitches will break and require repair. (Sigh.)
