Polka-dot mesh teddy - teddy discontinued by Coquette - review by Timaree

Coquette, you've done it again. My first foray into Coquette products was with the Passion heart body stocking [https://www.edenfantasys.com/sexy-lingerie/teddies-and-bodystockings/passion-heart-bodystocking], and I also ventured into their costumes with the Sexy Policewoman [https://www.edenfantasys.com/sexy-lingerie/sexy-costumes/sexy-policewoman]. Consistently I've been impressed by the comfort, construction, simplicity and cuteness of this line of lingerie. This is a brand I've grown to trust.

Now, to be fully honest, I wish they were a little more edgy at times: a little more rock and roll and a little less erotic Minnie Mouse. This teddy, for instance, was already pretty girlified by the polka dots on the torso and the ruffles on the butt and breasts. It really didn't need a huge bow smack in the middle. But fortunately, if you have a little sewing acumen, you can remove it. And if you don't, you can enjoy the fact the bow's placement makes your bosom stick out even further.

The super comfortable, soft, flexible mesh teddy was easy to slip into, comfortable for all sorts of movement and ridiculously convenient to remove. There are two pairs of thin but strong straps holding up the top. Two keep up the halter, two pull the teddy tight against the body (since there is no back on it). Untie either pair and you've got easy access to the goods. And if it wasn't simple enough to slip the bottom off, the crotch can be opened with a quick un-snapping of three well constructed plastic snaps.

The teddy manages to somehow be only slightly less revealing than a swimsuit, yet infinitely more flattering. I threw on a pair of fishnets underneath which, unfortunately, created a mild case of muffin tops, but with hosiery that only comes up to the thigh, no such problem should arise. The teddy itself is flexible and meant to be worn by real bodies with curves around the hips.

That said, it comes in one size fits most. I'm generally a size 6-8 and it fit me well. It was designed with a shorter female in mind (I'm 5'8") but the pairs of ties on the top make it easily adjustable. Not having a back to the teddy means that a much wider variety of bodies can wear this comfortably. The only range of motion in which I was limited was being able to lean back very far. This is not a big deal if you're A) shorter than I am or B)not planning on doing yoga back benders.

Often times the high-cut ruffled panty look doesn't work for me. I've got a big round butt and it can look outright silly with that kind of lingerie bottom. But this high-cut ruffled panty created no such nonsense. It was cute and flattered my rear (the fishnets also helped with that). Although, to be fair, it did sort of puff out and look like a diaper underneath the thin fabric of the pants I wore over it. The moral, therefore: wear either bigger, thicker fabrics over this teddy or none at all.

If you're looking for cute, flattering, comfortable and strong, this teddy will fit the bill. The construction is quality and will easily survive repeated wears and washes.

She's still serving me well, many months later. For my itty bitty titty committee needs, I require a bra underneath, which isn't the most flattering combination with the variety of fabrics crossing on my back, but it works. It looks hot, shows off my abs and moves flawlessly.
