Raspberry Delight (L)

This is another hit from Coquette. Being modest outside the house, I don't often wear lingerie as tops, however this one I will. The bustier is sexy, without being trashy, and feminine, without being too "girly". After some looking I found a cute little raspberry colored skirt to go with it. The quality is excellent. It provides shaping without being constricting. Most bustiers come with a thong or panties, but this one does not. Panties and hose are sold separately.

extremely useful review
When you want to feel like a woman, this is the bustier to wear. It just says 'summer afternoon' to me. Out of all my Coquette pieces, this one is definitely my favorite. It is very comfortable, and is versatile enough to wear both inside the bedroom and out. The pictures in on the page are true to the colors of the bustier.

As you can see from the above stretched and unstretched measurements, there is a fair amount of give to the material.

Garters are removable and fully adjustable. They adjust from 5" to 8" in length. They are cream colored with Raspberry ribbon accenting the bottom. The hooks on the garters are painted metal.

Design
The shape of the bustier is very curvy. The heart shaped top and the curved bottom give the bustier a more romantic feel.

The bustier is made from a beige, stretchy, satin material, with a beige overlay with pink and raspberry roses and green leaves. Over the bottom of the breast and below is a beige flowered lace. This lace is super soft. Just under the breast is a 1.5" raspberry fabric band with four rows of stitching. None of the bustier is see through. Fabric stretches easily, please refer to sizing below. For some reason, this band is only secured at each side and not in the middle. This leaves it free to move around. On the strip is a matching satin bow, which is secured by a safety pin. The bow is stitched onto the safety pin. Mine was only stitched on one side, so it needs to be restitched.

There are 17 hook and eye closures down the back. There are 3 rows of eyes that allow you to adjust 1".

The removable straps are the standard, thin bra strap designs with metal clasps.

There are 8 boning pieces. Two in the back, one on each side and four in the front. The front four are angled slightly to the bottom center, and are covered with raspberry colored material.


Material and Care
This is made of Nylon exclusive of the boning and ribbon. What those items are made of is not listed. Hand wash it only, and hang dry. It is made in China.

The inside of the breast area is a white, soft, cotton-like material. The cup area is not divided and is lightly padded.

I have not had any spills or stains on this outfit, so cannot personally speak to the ease of removal, however it is nylon so I will address general issues with that fabric. Nylon is notorious for attracting oil based stains, therefore I would stay away from massage oils or other similar products. Nylon is also not a heat friendly fabric. High heat from either water, drying, or ironing can cause permanent damage and melting to the fabric. Be careful when washing to use only cold water and hang to dry. The boning would also preclude you from throwing it into the dryer.

Travel and Storage
The cups are soft and not molded, so it is easy to fold this flat and place it into your drawer or suitcase.
Experience
This is another great bustier by Coquette. Coquette is my favorite lingerie line, despite a few quality concerns that seem to be the result of poor quality boning.

I was not sure about this bustier at first, as I tend not to order lingerie without underwires. Being a D cup, I generally do not get enough support. The padding and shaping of the cups, along with the snug band fit and straps, leads to good support. If you are larger, you will want to be sure to use the straps. This piece would fit a C through DD cup size. If you are smaller than a C, you may want to skip this piece in the Large size.

I found the bustier to be very comfortable to wear for long periods. I was able to sit comfortably without the boning pieces digging into me at either end. This is a piece that you can wear out for both day and evening.

This will be a piece I will wear out on hot summer days with a cute little raspberry skirt and sandals.

The bustier can be worn during sex. As the fit is snug, you do not have to worry about it moving around a lot. If you choose to wear it without the straps, the activity can cause your breasts to spill out of the top. I found the straps do a great job at holding everything in place securely.
Follow-up commentary
This is by far my favorite bustier. I have quite the collection so that does say a lot. The construction is wonderful at it has held up well. It can be worn out or in. Being a D cup, I normally require an underwire for support. This gives enough support with the straps attached. It is nice to be wire free every now and again. The bustier holds me in, in all the right places as well.
