This Bowed Me Over!
I love this set! It's adorable and sexy all in one. The measurements fit me wonderfully. This set is well made and well worth the price. Coquette does it again in look and quality. If you're looking for something sexy but comfortable to wear again and again, this is it.

Pros
Cute look, good support, accurate measurements
Cons
Nothing
Coquette is known for making some really gorgeous products. They are always put together really well and are one of the best in lingerie I've ever seen. My tiny complaint is that they hardly ever run true to size. So, I was a bit skeptical when I saw they were offering this cute bow mesh cami in plus size. I had read other reviews and even smaller sizes were complaining that it didn't fit their slender frame. I figured I didn't really have much of a chance. I took a risk on it cause it was so cute plus it was offered in plus size.
Coquette's sizing guide for their plus size items runs as this:
Sizes: 18-22
Cup size: D
Bust- 46-50 inches
Waist- 38-42 inches
Hip: 46-52 inches
To me, that's a really nice range for us plus size women. That's a bigger range than some of the other lingerie manufacturers offer and would make a lot of women happy to see. It also gives me hope that possibly I could fit into Coquette's XL soonish, cause I'm dropping weight. Currently though, my measurements run like this:
Size: 18
Cup size: D
Bust: 48 inches
Waist: 44 inches
Hip: 56 inches
Height: 5'10
I add my height into the measurements because this is a cami set and I know us women who have issues with their tummies showing want to know if it will cover that problem area. I was really surprised with the way it looked on me. I expected with the mesh material the cami would only lay across my stomach initially and would slowly inch up like some annoying tops can do. However, my cami set fits wonderfully! It went around my curves and stretched to fit around my dreadful love handles without me looking like a gargantuan sea whale. It was really cute and even without an underwire, it supported my breasts well. I was able to tighten the straps and they held up nicely. The cami is a red and black mesh material, with a matching thong. They are both slightly see-through red mesh with black bows as the print. The only real bow is in the middle of your chest. There are three velvet strips running vertically on the cami, similar to their corset except there is no boning underneath. From the middle where the bow is at to the end of the cami, it is about 13'. Also, besides being totally cute, I don't mind lounging in it to sleep in at night. It's breathable, soft comfort that you can look good in.
I have a long torso but longer legs, so this didn't even cover my butt in the least bit. The thong was made of the same mesh material and pattern. It fit with ease and didn't dig into my skin at all. Both pieces feel very well made and with proper care should last for awhile. A few other reviews mentioned it being see-through but only slightly. If I felt daring I'd wear the cami out with a black strapless bra. This was definitely a win and I'm glad to see Coquette adding some more plus size items. I'm even more thrilled that the measurements are decent and will fit a good variety of buyers.
Like most delicate things, you have to take care of your sexy things. They recommend machine washing this on cold, then hanging it to air dry. You don't want this tumbling around in the harsh dryer and possibly getting damaged. There shouldn't be much chance for it to get dirty, depending on how fast the festivities get started.
This is a five star set to me and I'm glad I took the risk on it! If you fit the measurements, I'd say buy it. It's a good price and a cute look!

Follow-up commentary
6 months after original review
Despite me being oh so delicate with this little piece, it has loss its luster and stretch. Mine isn't the same shade of red, and has a few frayed threads. I don't wear this often,but the bow in the middle of the chest isn't straight on anymore and is crooked, as if it's about to fall off. I'm not good with sewing so, this means the end is near for this one.
