Victorian dreams babydoll and g-string - babydoll and panties set by Coquette - review by Jul!a

This came in a plastic bag on an awesome hanger. There was a tag safety pinned to the piece that was easily removed, and there's also a tag on the inside of the babydoll that gives you the size, materials, and care. This set is 82% Nylon and 18% Spandex and should be hand washed and line dried. I have run it through the washing machine and dryer and it's come out no worse for the wear, but do so at your own risk.

I got this set in a medium, which according to Coquette's new sizing chart means that I should be between a size 8-10, with a 36-38" bust, a 28-30" waist, and 38-40" hips. I weigh about 120, around my bust measures 32" and underneath measures about 28 1/2". I've got about a 29" waist and measure about 34" around the top of my hips and 38" around my butt and wear a good solid B cup. On me, this was comfortably loose, despite what I previously thought after getting it in blue. It definitely does seem to run small in the bust, so if you're on the upper end of the bust measurement I'd probably order a size up. The waist measurement doesn't really matter, and you can always substitute in your own pair of panties.

This set comes with two pieces: the thong and the babydoll. The babydoll can easily be worn both in and out of the bedroom, since it's completely opaque. The top bust portion features black lace over a red padded bandeau style strip. The padding isn't going to offer much except some reinforcement to keep cold nipples from showing, and won't get in the way either. The straps are also easily removable should you decide you want to wear this strapless instead. The line under the bust doesn't stretch much, but isn't overly restricting either. From there, two mesh panels flare out to create the bottom of the babydoll, and those are both lined with red thread that seals off the edges.

Here's an image with measurements:



The thong isn't anything super special, and isn't something I'm really going to wear. I did try it on, and there was barely enough room for me in it, and I had a very hard time getting it up. I felt like there wasn't enough room for my thumbs and my thighs. If the top of your hips are the same size as mine or smaller, you should be ok, but I wouldn't use it if you're any bigger.

I was impressed with the craftsmanship on both pieces. I mean sure, the thong is nothing spectacular but it's not going to fall apart anytime soon. And the top had no loose or fraying threads that I could find. I do still believe you should stick with your bust measurements when deciding what size to order, since the waist size really doesn't matter due to the flowy nature of the babydoll. And the thong is nice enough, but it won't fit anything above the lower end of the sizing chart at best, and it's so easy to just pair the top with another piece of underwear that you already know makes you feel super sexy. Since there isn't any underwire or anything else that really offers much support, larger breasts may want to consider wearing a bra underneath. Fortunately, it's almost impossible to tell that you're wearing one.

Here are a few pictures of me in it:

I had been wanting the red one ever since I picked up the blue one, and thanks to a Secret Santa, I was able to make that happen. Well, my Secret Santa was able to make that happen. I'm very glad I went with the medium on this, because even though my size small still fits well, the medium is just that much more comfortable. I stick by my initial assessment that the bust is still a bit small, but I do still recommend it as a solid addition to any lingerie collection.
