This bra and panty set from Coquette is probably my least favorite set that I've gotten from them so far. That being said, it's actually not a bad set. It's just also not the best, either. From the ad, it looks pretty cute. Even in the packaging, it looks pretty cute. I was excited when I decided to order it, but I'm always excited when I order something from Eden.

The panties are pretty cute on, but the bra leaves something to be desired. It fits just fine, which was actually pretty exciting, since being able to fit into an XL is a recent accomplishment. However, the mesh ends up with a bit of the "quad-boob" effect, and the bow is pretty big and cheap looking. I decided to remove the bow from mine, so that I could wear it beneath other things, and I like the way it looks more now. I wish that the bra had more support though, and I wish that the mesh was a little bit stronger. It's one of the least supportive bras I own, but for $15.00 for both pieces, it's not too bad.

According to Coquette, a size XL means that I should wear a size 14-16, have D cup breasts, 42-44 inch bust, 34-36 inch waist, and 44-46 inch hip. In reality, I wear a size 16, have DD cup breasts, a 39 inch bust, 32 inch waist and 40 inch hip. My measurements were slightly off compared to theirs, but this is still the closest fit for me from Coquette, because the Large cups are too small and the 1x is 46-50 around the bust, which is too big for me. Even though my breasts are a little big for the set, it fits around nicely, and isn't very constricting. The panties sit nicely on my hips, and the set does fit me well, but many of the pieces that I like more not only fit correctly, but are also flattering on my body. I've learned from this set that I should probably stay away from the Demi cup style, because I have larger breasts and they tend to look weird when not fully supported.

I absolutely love the panties. They're lacy, and sexy and they fit really nicely. I like to wear them underneath regular clothes, but they're also nice for a sexy time in the bedroom. I like versatility in lingerie, so this is nice. I wish I could wear the bra under regular clothes, but even without the bow, it just doesn't quite work. The fact that it's a demi usually means you can't anyway, but especially this one since the mesh has such a funny visual effect, which is worsened when it's underneath other material. It's nice for under a nightgown or robe though. Basically, the set isn't a total loss, but it's also not a total win.

The set is made from a combination of Nylon and Spandex, which means that the safest care option is to Hand wash and hang dry it. I try to throw everything into the washer, so I wash this one on Cold in a lingerie bag, and then hang dry it and it's held up perfectly through 3 washes so far. I wouldn't put it in the dryer, since the mesh is extremely delicate, but let me know if you do and it turns out okay, with nothing melted!

Although I probably won't try a Demi cup bra again, I'm glad that I did because I like to know exactly what I'm looking for when I shop for lingerie. It's good to have an idea of how something will look on you before you purchase it, and it's also good to know which companies you already like. I love Coquette, but mostly for the other pieces that I have from them, like Babydoll/Thong combos. It might just be because babydolls are infinitely flattering, and I should have just stayed away from this set completely.
