For my sophomore venture into the world of lingerie, I chose the this somewhat vintage-looking chemise from Coquette, which is both sexy and comfortable. I chose the light pink with black trim, which was actually a little bit darker than I had anticipated but was still very pretty.

The set includes the chemise itself and detachable garters for both the front and back. These garters are exceptionally adorable because of their little black satin bows above where the garters clip to your stockings, which match the bows at the chest, on the straps, and at the bottom hem of the chemise.

The material of the pink chemise is more sheer than it appears in the photos on the model. It is also a stretchy nylon and spandex blend and is very form-fitting, so be aware if you are self-conscious with these types of garments.

I reviewed a size small, which is recommended for a 4 to 6. I am a size 2 and felt that this fit me just fine, so women of about this size could probably fit comfortably into this chemise.

My favorite feature of this chemise, however, was definitely the back. The back has a long black satin ribbon which laces up in a criss-cross pattern, similar to a corset. I found lacing myself up to be very difficult, but it was well worth the effort. There is also a small "peek-a-boo" opening with a bow at the top that completes the open back feel of the garment.

One thing I did not prefer about this piece is the underwire. Though it was relatively comfortable, I thought the chemise would have been sexier without it. This garment, like most delicates, should be hand-washed and hung up to dry to ensure a long life.

Overall, I thought this was a very sexy and well-made garment and would highly recommend it.

To lace up the back of this garment, I pulled the ribbon through each loop and tied the chemise loosely. I then stepped into the chemise and pulled the ribbons tighter for the correct fit and retied the bow.
