I had recently purchased the Floral Lace Babydoll and G-string by Coquette because I thought it was absolutely gorgeous and I thought that maybe if I wore a black tank top beneath the piece that I could wear it in public. I love finding lingerie pieces that I can wear both in and out of the bedroom. This set is available in one-size-fits-most and plus size. I purchased the plus size.

The outfit arrived surrounded by plastic and on a clear, plastic hanger. There were no text or photos on the bag that covered the outfit. The hanger would be excellent to use to store the outfit when it’s not being worn. There was a cardboard tag attached to the outfit that had a few photos of a model wearing the outfit and stated the product name, size, colour, company name, and website.



The outfit is 100% polyester, exclusive of trim. The material to both the babydoll and thong has quite a bit of stretch to it. The thong does no become sheer the more it is stretched and neither does the waist area of the babydoll. Actually, when I first seen this outfit in the stock photo, I assumed that the solid black waist area was a separate piece to wear overtop the lace babydoll. I was wrong; it’s really just one piece.

I’ve taken a few measurements of the outfit laying flat, unstretched. If you require additional measurements, let me know and I’d be happy to get them for you.

Thong
Waistband unstretched:18 ½ inches
Waistband stretched as much as I could: 25 ½ inches
Widest part of material that covers your front area: 5 inches

Babydoll
Width of black material beneath chest: 16 ¼ inches
Length of black material beneath chest: 7 inches
Length of chest area: 6 ½ inches
Sleeve length (from shoulder to bottom of sleeve): 6 inches
Length of babydoll (from armpit to bottom): 26 inches
Length of skirt part (taken on side, right below black material): 12 ½ inches
Circumference of armhole unstretched: 14 inches

Depending on how you wear the babydoll will determine a few of the measurements. You can wear the sleeves sitting on your shoulders or you can pull the sleeves down on your arms giving it an off the shoulder look. You can also leave the top centre ribbon ties undone, tie them just a bit, or have them tied tightly.

The babydoll has two closures to it and both are located at the front of the piece. The first closure is at the very top centre, which are 2 ribbon ties that you tie together in a bow. Each ribbon is 14 ½ inches in length. The second closure to the babydoll is right beneath the chest at the centre area. The black material that looks almost like a cincher has hook and eye closures down the centre. There are 7 hook and eyes in total. There is a flap of fabric behind the hook and eye closures, which acts as a modesty panel.

The black material that sits beneath the chest goes all the way around to the back of the babydoll. The top and bottom part of the babydoll is lace with a floral pattern to it. There is ruffle trim along the top of the babydoll and it goes all the way around to the back of the piece. This ruffle trim is approximately 1 inch in length. There is also ruffle trim along the bottom of each sleeve. This trim is approximately ½ of an inch in length.

There is elastic band along the top of the babydoll that goes all the way around to the back (which is good if you plan on wearing it off the shoulder). There is also elastic band around the bottom of the armholes. Right below the black material that looks like a cincher (centre of babydoll), the lower part of the babydoll is open. So beneath this black non-lace material, it is open concept.

I realize that the product page states that the babydoll comes with a g-string but I received a thong. It doesn’t have a thin string going up the bum; it’s a thicker piece of material (which is what a thong is). I’m not sure if this is because I ordered the plus size but it definitely is a thong.

The centre back of the thong is “Y” style rather than “T” style. The back doesn’t go straight across like the top of the letter “T”. You’ll be able to see this in the photo below. The thong is all black in colour with no decoration to it. There is also no lining in the crotch of the panty.



The outfit fit me really well. I’m 5’6 in height and the back of the babydoll covers my bum. My C cups fit well into the chest area but a size or two larger would probably fill it out better. There is no underwire or padding in the chest. Below are a few photos of me wearing the outfit with a black tank top underneath.



The first photo above shows the sleeves on my shoulders while the last photo shows them off of the shoulders. I prefer off the shoulders but you can wear them whichever way you prefer. Also, in the first photo you can see that the ribbon ties were tied quite loosely, while in the last photo I had tied them tighter.

I was lazy and didn’t change my pants for the photos so obviously the lime green track pants aren’t what I would suggest you wear with the outfit if you were to wear it in public. I think the babydoll would look nice with any colour tank top beneath it (preferably grey, white, or black) and with a pair of tight jeans or dress pants. Or, you could just wear the outfit in the bedroom with nothing beneath it!

I found the outfit to be comfortable. The lace is quite soft and non-irritating to the skin. The care tag states that the outfit should be hand washed only and hung to dry.

Overall, I’m happy with the outfit. I’ve deducted one star because the stock photo page made me think that the waist cincher part (the centre of the babydoll) was a separate piece to wear overtop of the lace. I think the outfit is comfortable and very feminine. I love that the sleeves can be worn two different ways. I’m not sure if I will wear this out in public yet but I do know that my parter will be seeing it on me in the bedroom very soon.
