Design and Construction:

The top of the babydoll is made from stretchy, black, fabric that has a bit of a sheen and feels like a bathing suit. The sweetheart neckline and wide-set halter straps have a bit of a retro feel, and the strap placement also hides that awkward armpit bulge. The straps end with a hot-pink satin bow that is very cute. I like to wear my hair up with this one to show off the bow. The cups have no underwire and aren't padded, but are lined with foam which lends some structure. The bottom of the cups and the band under the bust are covered in pink lace which is fairly soft. There is a large bow between the breasts made from the same ribbon as the neck tie. The back of the babydoll has a wide strap with 3 sets of hook and eye closures. The bottom of the babydoll is made up of 2 layers of soft mesh. The bottom layer is sheer enough that the panties show through, but the area with 2 layers of fabric is fairly opaque and my bellybutton can't be seen. The top layer is about 2 inches shorter, and both are edged in hot pink stitching. The back falls lower than the front.

The g-string is made from hot pink lace and lined with the black, bathing suit-like fabric. It has a y-back and the straps are stretchy.

Fit:

I'm 5'4", 135 lbs, with 34B breasts, a 28 inch waist, and I'm 38 inches around the largest part of my hips and butt. You can see how the small size fits me in the pictures below:

Babydoll-

I don't think this set is the most flattering to my body. I'm a "pear" and the babydoll emphasizes my smaller chest and larger hips and thighs, while hiding my narrower waistline. I think this would work best for someone with larger breasts and stomach (an "apple") since it would emphasize the bustline while skimming over any problem areas on the abdomen.

The small size will best fit a B or C cup with a 34-38 band size. Since it is loose through the stomach, waist and hip mesurements aren't important. I recommend ordering one size smaller than the size chart says, since this runs large in the bust and you don't need to worry about the stomach area being too tight.

G-string-

Coquette's g-strings fit strangely on me. There is lots of room at the sides, but they are very low in the rise. I have to give myself a wedgie to get the back to sit above my butt crack. I'm 35 inches where the top of the panties sit, and they would work for someone with wider hips than me, but only if you have a flatter butt than I do.

The straps will fit hips between 34-38 inches, but this g-string will work best for those with a butt smaller than 38 inches.

Care:

The first time I tried the babydoll on, the dye from the straps left marks on my skin. It should be washed before the first wearing to prevent that from happening to you. The paper tag that came attached said to hand wash. I wash my lingerie in the machine on the delicate cycle, inside of a mesh lingerie bag. You can also tie your lingerie up inside of a pillowcase for protection if you want to machine wash it. There is no tag sewn inside the babydoll. There are loops that could be used to hang the babydoll up, but I keep it in a drawer with the rest of my lingerie.

This babydoll has stood up very well to wear and washing. I think it is very pretty, but I don't feel sexy in it. When I wore it for my boyfriend he didn't make any comments about it, so I don't think he liked it much either. I tried it on under a black jacket and thought it looked very cute, so I might end up wearing it out as a top instead of using it as lingerie.
