Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love scary movies (even though a good one hasn't come out in years!), adrenaline pumping haunted houses and trails, and all the cool costumes. Last year I had a lot of luck with a costume from Coquette in their Darque collection-
The Darque Nurse. I decided to try out some more for this Halloween. I love these costumes, because they are great for the bedroom too. This one might not be the final choice for Halloween (even though my boyfriend wants it to be lol), but it is a beloved part of my collection because it makes me feel incredibly sexy and kinky.

*Contents/overview:

The Darque School Girl outfit has tons of pieces (11 in total)!
* Crop top
* Mini Skirt
* Neck Tie
* Peek-a-boo bikini bra
* Crotchless Peek-a-boo pantie
* Fishnet thigh highs (2)
* Attachable garters (4)
I have the perfect heels to pair this with too. They have matching black patent leather and red lace. Heels are really the only thing needed to complete this outfit. NOTE: The stockings are not as they are pictured. They have a lace thigh trim. I actually would have preferred the ones in the picture, due to how the lace fits. You may or may not want to get your own pair of these too.

*Material:

There are three main materials to this outfit. The plaid areas are made of 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex. It is very stretchy and breathable. The black parts however are made of Vinyl. The Vinyl smells, is not breathable, and a lot less stretchy. There is also some satin for the ribbons.

*Design/craftsmanship

Starting with the bottom layers, the bra is a bikini top triangle style that ties as a halter around the neck and behind the back. The ties are plaid while the cups are Vinyl. There are two slits in the cup to show some peek-a-boo. If you can line it up right, your nipples will peak through. The triangles also have two decorating ribbons.

The panties are, in essence, is a bikini brief style. They were made to be crotchless. The main part is Vinyl while the trim is the plaid. The back also has two slits that show some peek a boo butt cleavage. This part also has some small red ribbons.

Then there is the top layer. The top is a short sleeve crop. The sleeves are also crop with a puff shoulder which helps create the student look. The neck collar is the plaid and the sleeves have the same trim. The bottom has a trim of Vinyl. The top closes with two pieces of Velcro in the front. There are two really cute shiny red buttons simulating the closure.

The bottoms are a mini skirt, although it really is one that you could wear out. The top portion of it is Vinyl with spandex making it more stretchy than the rest of the costume's trim. This hugs the hips nicely while the rest of the pleated plaid hangs off of this. It closes in the back with a vertical piece of Velcro. The front has two rows of fake corset lacing.

Now for the accent pieces! The tie is easy to slide over your head since it is just attached to a spandex choker. The set of stockings are fishnet with thigh high spandex which are closed toe without a reinforced toe. The garters are two separate sizes. The front ones are shorter than the back. They are easy to use and attach.

CARE/WASHING:

You should hand wash the outfit and avoid getting the Vinyl wet if you can. Putting this in the washer and dryer will cause the Vinyl to dry and crack. The entire thing comes in a large bag that is reusable. It has a picture of the model and contents on the outside. Since Vinyl can sometimes pick up inks from paper etc, it is best to store in the bag.

Here is a picture of the length, stockings, and my heels. If I wear this on Halloween, I'll upload a full body picture.

*Sizing:

I chose the M/L. It should fit 10-12 dress, C cup, 36-40" bust, 28-32" waist, and 38-42" hips. With the exception of the cup (~34/36 D), I'm on the low end. I weigh ~150, size 9/10 dress, curvy but fit. Some pieces fit better than others, but there was nothing too uncomfortable to wear. I'd say that if you are on the high end of the S/M, you might want to go with the M/L.

The bikini top fits a C cup best, but it fits my D's ok. The top did provide support because the Vinyl is thick. The slits were hard to line up correctly. If I did, the bottom of my breasts peeked out of the bra cup. The halter top and back ties were comfortable.

The bottoms, fit snugly on my hips and would definitely not fit the larger end of the scale. The crotchless part lines up nicely and was surprisingly comfortable. If you have a big booty, this might not work so well though.

The crop top fit extremely well everywhere. The problem is that my size 35" underbust is not in the size range but it fit snuggly. This part is the most inaccurate. The neck line was revealing but not too much that this couldn't be worn in public for a party.

The skirt fit my hips nicely and showed them off. I think that the size chart won't be best for the high end in this instance either. The length was great though! I was worried it would be short but it wasn't at all. Depending on where you wear you skirts, this will be shorter, but even on my waist it covered everything.

The neck tie was comfortable to wear. The stockings were kind of small though. They had to be fit above the thickest part of my thigh to be comfortable or they could just be rolled at the knee, which I actually think looks more school girl-ish. If you have thighs larger than 23" these will not be comfortable for you. If your thighs are smaller than 21" they might be too lose and garters might be required to keep them up.

So this did fit me nicely, but the sizing chart is still a bit off, however not horribly. So...here is My re-sized chart:

Dress: 8-10
Cup: C
Band: 34-36"
Waist: No need to worry about this!
Hips: 36-38"

*Experience/Conclusion:

I am giving this 5 stars. It is very versatile since you can mix and match the pieces. You can also have sex in it! While the material does have a slight smell, and isn't the more breathable, if you check my chart and get the right size, it should be comfortable enough. The best part is that it includes sooooo many pieces! I don't like dressing up as a school girl, but since this outfit wasn't sweet and innocent, it was a lot of fun to wear! I am not sure that I want to wear it for Halloween, because it might be too cold, but right now it is my #1 choice, if I don't find anything better. Solid A for Coquette.

While I did not end up choosing this for Halloween due to it being super cold that day and this is two pieces, it has gotten a bit of use in the bed room! I love mixing and matching the different pieces with other things I own. For example, my boyfriend loved when I used the skirt and bikini top under one of his white dress button downs.

I have not noticed any rips or stress in the vinyl which is a plus. The quality is there for this set. I don't think that at this price, I would purchase it again knowing it would not be used as a costume though. I'd spend that much and more on a corset or even a gorgeous chemise, but for a role-play type costume that doesn't come out as often...this is a bit pricey for me.
