This Halter Bustier by Coquette is an absolutely beautiful piece of lingerie. The bra part is solid black and lightly padded with a velvet bow in the center. The torso area is a very elegant lace. The plastic boning is superb and hugs in just the right areas.

As a woman with a bit of an odd shape, finding lingerie that fits how I want to is difficult. Either they are too short, not enough room for my bust, the straps dig in, or the piece hangs grossly from my chest and boxes in my waist. Not this beauty!

I bought a Medium and it fit my proportions very nicely!

First off, it is such a relief to find a bustier that fit me so nicely. I always have a problem with the length being too short and stopping at an odd place on my stomach. This one, however, fits me right where I want it to. The boning dips perfectly into my waist and then out at my hips. I have very small hips compared to my upper half, and this bustier seemed to even them out just perfectly. I think it is because of how much it dips into my waist. So I'm not sure how flattering that would be on a larger-waisted lady.

The halter straps are perfect for a piece like this. They are thick enough to hold your ladies up without being uncomfortable. And not coming pre-tied is perfect, because it allows you to customize your own fit up top. This is a plus for women like me with wide shoulders. It also covers that awkward roll where boob meets armpit very nicely.

The padding is slight enough that is won't give you any kind of push up effect or make you look bigger, but they certainly do their job in shaping your bust.

I would definitely recommend this.
