Coquette is hit or miss for me. I will be completely honest, I am not a small woman. I am 6' tall and plus size. I average about a size 20 in pants. I am about a 50" hip. Other XL panties from coquette I haven't even been able to get past my thighs. I took a gamble on these, and it paid off. They are a perfect fit on my hips. There is even room for them to stretch farther. I would estimate that they could fit comfortably on someone with a 54" hip.

These are a nice staple that I probably should have had in my collection. They are a transparent mesh with a lace waistband. The lace isn't the softest, but I have very sensitive skin, and I can still wear them comfortably for a full day. The thong is a nice bright red that hasn't faded after washing.

The three straps have a tendency to wrap around each other under clothing. I was kind of disappointed but not surprised with that. The fit is... not modest at all. I normally don't worry about anything falling out of my panties, but with these, I didn't especially covered in front. I don't mind; I think that having a air of skimpy panties can't hurt anyone, but I still maybe could have had them cover just a tad more.

I am very happy with the overall quality. There are no loose threads or dropped stitches. Again, the color didn't fade at all after washing. Coquette did a really nice job with these.

These are made from Lace and Lycra and it is recommended to wash them by hand, but I tossed them into a lingerie bag and washed them on delicate in my machine and they came out fine.

I'm actually wearing these a lot more then I expected to. They are holding up well as a day-to-day pair of panties. I don't' have any holes or anything in them. The color hasn't faded at all from machine washing either.

I am very pleasantly surprised.
