Of all the lingerie I own, this one is my absolute favorite. It’s not only gorgeous, but it makes me feel and look sexy! On the one hand this corset is flirty and fun, and on the other hand it’s provocative and steamy. If you were to ask my husband, he would just tell you it’s hot!

The Corset style baby doll set by Coquette is a gorgeous, extremely well made corset style top and matching thong. It comes in small (sizes 4-6), medium (sizes 8-10) and large (sizes 12-14). I felt that this ran small. I’m a size 6 and I bought the medium. It not only was the right size for me but I had to loosen the back laces to make it fit. And I wear size 5 panties and these medium ones fit perfectly. So if you’re in doubt, I would suggest going up a size.

The top is a combination of corset and baby doll. The corset section starts below the bust and ends at about the belly button. It is made of a quality satin that has more of a deep sheen, similar to raw silk, than your typical shiny satins. The red is very deep colored like the shade of a garnet. On top of the red satin in four places on each side are 3/4 inch wide black velvet strips that cover the boning, which is flexible and not very strong. The boning does a nice job of holding me in a little, without being uncomfortable. The whole corset section is completely lined in a soft black satin. The front of the corset has two sliding type hook and eyes. These are actually what I use to get in and out of the top. They can come undone rather easily, when you’re first trying to get them on, but once it’s all set they seem to stay put really well. At the back of the corset are two rows of 6 silver metal eyes, and a lovely long black satin ribbon that is laced through them. This is what makes this piece somewhat adjustable. You can tighten or loosen the lacing to make it fit just right. When I first bought this I was in need of losing a few pounds and was still able to make it fit. Once I finally get my butt in gear and lose those pounds, I have no doubt that this will still fit me. And for all of you women out there who know what I mean, it’s great to own something that will fit you no matter how much your weight yo-yo’s.

The top and bottom sections of the corset are made of a soft sheer mesh that is somewhat stretchy. The top section covers the breasts and has a pretty little ruffle along the front of the top. It is trimmed all the way around with very thin elastic, which helps to shape it and give it a nice delicate flow. There is a thin satin string on each side that can either be tied or left open. Both ways actually look quite beautiful. The top section is held up by slender shiny elastic bra straps that are adjustable. Below the corset is a double layer of the same sheer mesh. It is slightly flared and has a lettuce edging that adds to the flow. The top layer is several inches shorter than the bottom and they both taper up in the front and back, allowing for a perfect view of the panties and skin.

The thong panties on this outfit are surprisingly lovely and comfortable, unlike most nighties that come with panties that don’t fit right or are plain and boring looking. The main panel of this thong is made of the same deep red satin as the top. It is completely lined by an elasticized satin that is quite stretchy and again will fit nicely in spite of weight fluctuations. The only thing I would have preferred is for there to be a cotton panel for the crotch.

Care needs to be taken when cleaning this. It’s best to hand wash it gently in cold water and line dry. I have had mine for quite a while now and it has been holding up really well with proper care.

Overall this is an extremely well made piece. And it’s surprisingly inexpensive for what you get. The stitching, the fabric, the design are that of a high quality piece of lingerie. And what I see when I look in the mirror, or on my husband's face, is what makes it my favorite lingerie outfit, and worth every penny and then some.

I still love this corset! I've actually owned it for over 6 months and it's still my favorite piece of lingerie. It has held up perfectly. I think this will last for a very long time.
