The Wet Look Halter Top Dress by Coquette is available in sizes S-XL. I purchased the size XL for myself. It arrived on a clear, plastic hanger and was surrounded by plastic. My hanger arrived broken but it would have been good to use for storing the dress when you’re not wearing it. Luckily, I have tons of extra hangers.

There was a cardboard tag attached to the dress that had a few photos of a model wearing the dress and stated the company name, company website, product name, size, and colour. The dress is 80% nylon and 20% spandex. The material is quite stretchy and does not become sheer the more it is stretched.



I’ve taken a few measurements of the dress laying flat, unstretched. If you need additional measurements, let me know and I will get them for you.

Chest (armpit to armpit): 16 inches
Cup length: 6 ¼ inches
Cup width: 7 inches
Length (armpit to bottom): 28 ½ inches
Halter tie length (top of cup to end of tie): 22 ½ inches

The main colour of the dress is black. There is red wet-look material with black floral lace overlay to it at the top front of the dress (chest area) and a panel that runs vertically down the centre front of the dress. The vertical panel is 6 ¾ inches wide unstretched and runs the entire length of the dress. The black material is puckered on each side of the panel. The back of the dress is entirely black in colour.

There are 4 columns of ruching that run down the dress. There are 2 down the back, and 1 on each side. The ruching sits on elastic band so if you pull the bottom of the dress down for more length, it will look less ruched. The measurement of the length that I had provided was with the dress unstretched and laying flat. The length that it sits on your body will depend on how much you fill the body of the dress out, and if you’re adding extra length by stretching it downwards.

The dress is halter style so it has two ties that you tie behind your neck. The ties are lengthy and they are stretchy so the length shouldn’t be an issue for anyone. The halter ties begin with a triangular shaped piece of material (same material as chest). The triangles are 6 inches in length. At the triangles tip (at the top of it), the black, stretchy ties begin.

The halter ties are the only closure to the dress. The dress is stretchy so it’s easy to get both in and out of it. You could wear the dress without the straps but they are not detachable. The straps can easily be tucked inside of the cups. The cups have padding in them but there is no underwire. There is a bit of red material with the lace overlay right beneath the cups. This area is approximately 1 ¾ inches in length. Beneath this, there is a black flap of fabric. This flap of fabric is 2 inches in length and only sits at the front of the dress.



My C cups fit into the cups of the dress but there was some room to spare. The XL definitely would fit a D cup better. I can still wear the dress with my C’s, but the cups aren’t filled out as well as they could be. What I do is just pull the halter straps a bit tighter so that the cups don’t have as much gapped area at the top of them.

I’m 5’6 in height and the length of the dress is good for me. It falls in the centre between the top of my thigh and knee. This is where it sits on me without stretching any of the ruching. I can pull the dress down to my knees if I wanted to. I feel the length is great for me to wear the dress out in public with a pair of sheer nylons. If you’re a bit taller, you could always wear a pair of opaque leggings beneath the dress so that nothing becomes exposed.

The dress is form fitting. The ruching down the back and sides are perfect because they cover any underwear lines. If you have a bit of a belly or wider hips like I do, the ruching is nice because it hides it a bit. Below are a few photos of the dress being worn.

The first photo is a front view. You can see in this picture that my chest looks rather small. This is because my chest doesn’t fill out the cups like it should. The second is a side view. You can see in this photo that I have a belly, but the ruching does help. You’ll have to excuse the last photo. I took it in the mirror. All those speckles are from the mirror; they aren’t on the dress. I have to clean it yet again. It does give you an idea though how the back looks with the lovely ruching down it.

Surprisingly, I found the dress extremely comfortable to wear. I’d have no problem wearing the dress for extended periods of time. I did not experience any skin irritation while wearing the dress. The care tag states that the outfit should be hand washed only and hung to dry.

Overall, I love the dress. I love the way it looks on me, the fact that it has the length and is not sheer (so I can wear it out), and it’s really comfortable. My partner really likes it on me too! It’s really a shame it’s not offered in larger sizes. I think the dress would flatter every figure.
