If you ask my man what his favorite lingerie color combination is, he'll tell you red and black. If you ask him what style he'd rather see on me, he'll tell you that he wants something that screams "easy access". Now, if you ask me... I'll tell you I prefer anything with interesting contrast, and anything that's beautiful. So, our ideas of what makes a good lingerie item tends to differ a bit... he wants it dark, dirty, and easy -- I want sweet and sexy. How can you combine all of those elements you ask? This pieces does it nicely! It's sweet, beautiful, sexy, dark and dirty at once!! Awesome, right? Read on.

Basics:
This babydoll and g-string set is made by Coquette. It's available only in one color combination, red and black. It's also only available in one size fits most, or plus size. The sizing sucks, and the piece certainly won't fit most people properly. The price is good, though -- it's only $29.99 full price!

Material & Care:
This set is made out of 82% Nylon and 18% Spandex, exclusive of the trim. Now, I know what you're thinking... that's a lot of spandex! It must be stretchy! Well... it is, but it's not stretchy where it's really going to matter for this piece (the cups -- but more about that in the next section).

The lower half of the babydoll, and the sleeves, are made out of a very fine mesh. This portion is incredibly stretchy. It's also very, very sheer, so it's not going to hide your flaws. It is very comfortable, though, and I actually found it to be quite flattering.

The back of the top of the babydoll is made out of an opaque black fabric. This opaque fabric covers just the back, and it feels very satiny to the touch. It's smooth, cool, and comfortable. And yes, this part of the babydoll is stretchy, as well.

Then, there's the cups. The cups are red, with a black floral lace overlay. The lace does not touch your skin, so you don't need to worry about it itching. The interior of the cups is made out of a black soft material, which is quite comfortable against my sensitive breasts. The cups are NOT stretchy at all.

The g-string is made out of the same red material as the cups. It also features a floral lace overlay. And, of course, the g-string is also not really stretchy at all -- I mean, the straps are (to a limited degree), but the little triangle? Yeah, you're not going to get any stretch out of that.

To wash this piece, you should hand wash it, and then allow to line dry.

Sizing:
This piece is available in two sizes: one size fits most, and plus size. I originally purchased the plus size, but I felt like I was drowning in the material. The cups fit me okay, but the band size was too large, and so it ended up hanging awkwardly on me. So, I purchased the one size fits most, and so that's the one that I'm doing my review on.

According to the size chart, one size fits most should fit someone with the following measurements:
Cups: B
Bust: 34-40"
Waist: 26-32"
Hips: 36-42"

I wear a 34d bra, and have a 32" waist. My hips measure 40". I'm just going to go ahead and tell you now -- the waist and hip measurements for this piece? They don't matter! They flow outward, and it's open style babydoll... so don't stress about your waist and hips, unless you're really concerned about the g-string fitting. If you're really concerned about the g-string, you should be on the lower end of the size chart. My 40" hips DO NOT fit comfortably in the g-string AT ALL.

So, what measurements should you stress over? Your cup and bust. Obviously, as a d-cup, I'm a fair bit larger than the chart recommends. This piece does fit me, but I am quite literally bursting out of the tops of it. It's also not the most comfortable fit, as it puts a lot of strain on my shoulders. It's okay to wear for short periods of time, but it gets very uncomfortable after a little while. With that in mind, I'd say that this piece is best for those of you that are either a large B or a small C. The cups do NOT stretch, so it's not really going to properly fit larger sizes. On the other hand, though, smaller breasts are really going to feel overwhelmed by the cups. So, for a best fit... large B, small C.

In regards to the length -- I am 5'6", and this just covers my butt.

Design:
I mentioned before that this piece has all the aspects that my boyfriend and I look for in a lingerie item combined... beautiful, sexy, sweet, dark, and dirty.

Sexy and dirty -- The easy open style. This piece only closes at the top, with a simple hook that's located right between the cups. It is extremely easy to close, and more importantly, to open.

Sweet and beautiful - The floral lace overlay that's found on both the cups and the g-string. There is also the beautiful bow that's located between the cups -- though, as bows are not for everyone, it should be noted that this bow is removable. It is attached by a safety pin, and removing it does not damage the fabric. The sexy little ruffles that are found all along the bottom, the center of the babydoll, and on the sleeves, also qualifies as sweet and beautiful. Honestly, I find the ruffle to be incredibly flattering. It also makes the outfit seem very playful.

Dark, Sexy, and Beautiful -- The color combination! What is it about red and black that is so damn irresistible? I also love the cleavage that the bust of this outfit gives me. There's no underwire, and it's only very lightly padded, so you shouldn't expect a lot of support -- but I do actually get some, despite the fact that my breasts are too big for the top. My cleavage looks great in this!

Really though, I love the style. It's incredibly flattering, as the ruffled material seems to hide my flaws. I feel gorgeous in it, and my boyfriend tells me I look beautiful in it every time.

The g-string, on the other hand, is a complete afterthought. It doesn't fit me right, but oh well. To those of you that may fit in the g-string, it's pretty, I guess. It perfectly matches the cups of the babydoll, and it does not feature a pantyliner.

Quality:
Eh.. the quality is not great. I had to sew the little areas where the hook and eyelet is, on both sides, as it wasn't attached securely when I received it. I also discovered a number of loose threads on the babydoll. The g-string also appeared to be falling apart right away, and I didn't even wear it!

The g-string isn't a huge deal -- it was too small for me, anyway. And I was able to fix the parts of the babydoll... So, I give it a 3. It's nice enough, if it fits you properly -- but I wouldn't buy this unless you've got some decent sewing skills.

This piece has been falling apart, and I don't even put it through rough use. It's only the seams that come apart, so it's something I can fix, but it's still frustrating.
