This Satin Bustier by Coquette is my first when it comes to owning a bustier/corset. I never realized what a wonderful thing this can do for your body shape, as I'm a plus size women and it held everything in. This made my waist look nice and small, and pushed my boobs up with a nice cleavage. This helps give a nice sleek shape, and would make you feel like a princess.

Material / Texture / Design / Shape / Size

The tag on the bustier states that it's made of 82% nylon, and 18% spandex. The tag also states that it's made in China. It's located at the top on the back inside of the bustier. You will probably want to remove the tag since it's white, and that area is black sheer fabric.

Starting from the top of the bustier at the bust, the bust is slightly padded. It's solid black satin, and has a layer of lace at the top. The lace is roughly about 2" in height, and halfway down it's got a lace flower pattern, that's ruffled and sewn on. The whole strip of lace ruffles all the way around to the back of the bustier. There is also a bright pink ruffle strip at the very top that is sewn above where the black laces seam is. On top of that bright pink, there is another little strip of black lace that is sewn in the middle. That too ruffles all the way around to the back of the bustier. In the middle of the pink ruffle, where it meets the middle of the breasts, there is a bright pink bow.



You have an option to wear this bustier with straps, or without. If you're someone who needs a little extra support, then use the straps. There is also a satin ribbon loop that is sewn on both sides, where the armpit would be. These are so you can hang up your lingerie.



The front of the bustier below the bust is sheer black. It's made of a mesh material that isn't shown in the original photos. Looking at it on the hanger you wouldn't realize it's sheer, until you put it on. There is boning all around the bustier for extra shape and support. On both sides of the bustier, there are bright pink satin sections. Where the seems meet between the black section and the pink section, there is a black lace ribbon that has a small satin pink ribbon in the middle. The front of the bustier measuring from between the boobs, measures 15" in length.

The back of the bustier is the same material as the front. The difference is that it measures 15.5" in length (XL). It has a closure like a bra, but instead of only a couple hook closures, there's a total of 17 all the way down. If you include the lace ruffle, the total length would be 17". There's a choice of three rows when it comes to the closure of this bustier. So if you want it tighter or looser, you have the choice of what hook you want to use.



The bustier has plastic boning sewn in all around, at a total of eleven. There's no under-wire in the bra, but if you select the proper size, it should naturally hold and push everything up. There is a strip around the waist area that has a little extra support. When wearing the bustier, it almost looks like there's a belt built in.

At the bottom of the bustier, there are two layers of black ruffling lace. The bottom layer is about 2" longer then the top, and has the same flower lace sewn on like at the top of the bustier. Just the like top, there is also a bright pink ribbon with black lace on top, sewn over the seems. This ruffles all the way around to the back as well.




Care and Maintenance

This item has delicate properties to it, so you would want to hand wash it in cool water. You would want to use a mild soap. I personally like to use Zero for all my intimates. Do NOT put this in the washing machine or dryer. You will want to let this hang and air dry, to prevent any damage.

I'm in love with my first bustier. I'm 100% happy with it, and it does wonders for my figure. I originally hesitated on buying one of these, as I hate showing the top of my legs. But wow, this actually makes me look 20Lbs lighter. It holds everything in, and shapes my body nicely. This is the plus women's best friend, just make sure to follow the sizing chart to get the right size. It seems that they are a big fit, so keep that in mind. Right now I normally wear a 1X, and the XL was perfect for me.

Packaging

The bustier was wrapped in clear plastic, and was on a clear plastic hanger that said "Coquette". The hanger has a groove on top at both ends, to help hold the lingerie in place. The straps came inside a clear little Ziploc bag. Two straps to help hold up the bust, and four straps (garters) to help hold up your thigh-highs. All the straps are adjustable! The bag was clipped to the bustier, and also the original product tag was clipped as well. The tag has pictures of a model from both the front and back view. It also included washing instructions and Coquettes website.

This bustier is gorgeous on, and makes me look like I've lost 20Lbs. It sucks my waist in so small, that I don't feel like a plus size women wearing it. Only thing about this item is that the lace is itchy. Keep in mind that it will eventually go away once it's been washed a couple times. This is one of my favorite pieces of lingerie.
