Polka-dot babydoll with g-string - babydoll and panties set by Coquette - review by Jul!a

Polka dots are infinitely adorable, and add a touch of 'cute and innocent' to something otherwise thought of as just plain old 'sexy.' I had seen this set of polka dots floating around and after seeing how much other people loved it, I couldn't pass it up.

It came to me in a lovely little box with a Coquette model on the front and the back.

This is a one size fits most. To Coquette, that means that you should be a size 4-14, with a B cup, a 34-40" bust, a 26-30" waist, and 36-42" waist. Personally I'm about 5'2, I weigh about 105, around my bust measures 31" and underneath measures about 28 1/2". I've got about a 25" waist with 33" hips and wear a good solid B cup. Everything fit very comfortably and nothing was too tight or too loose, although I do feel as though I could have filled out the top better; however, the cups weren't sagging and didn't look overly too big, so I was ok with it.

This set contains a babydoll style top, and a thong, both mainly black mesh with light pink polka dots all over the place. Along the top of the thong is some ruffly pink lace and a small bow. The insides of the cups on the top have the same pink lace, that meet in the middle of the cups, and larger pink bows at the top of each cup.

The top can be put on the same way a front clasp bra can, due to the little clip that holds the front together. When laid flat and open, the top measures 27 1/2" from clasp to clasp unstretched, but easily stretches all the way up to 40". The back of it is only about 8" tall, and will hang freely on just about everybody. The straps are adjustable and seem directly proportional to the amount of breast support received from the top. I felt as though the more I tightened the straps, the higher up the cups sat (I know that sounds very obvious) but also the more support my breasts had. I feel as though up to a large C cup would be able to wear this set without much trouble.

The thong is not quite a g-string, not quite a y-style, it's fairly hard for me to describe with any kind of accuracy, so I've included a picture to show you what I'm talking about. When laid flat it measures about 13" across, and stretches up to about 19 1/2", however I think at that point it might start to feel a bit painful to wear. There is no crotch liner, so that makes this not the best option for longer wear.

The craftsmanship of this whole set seems on par with everything else from Coquette that I own, pretty much superb. I tugged and pulled and nothing stretched in a way it shouldn't have and I didn't hear any seams starting to rip or anything like that. With proper care, this set should last a long time.

For materials, Coquette has provided you with a little label on the top that tells you that your set is 82% Nylon and 18% Spandex. This means that you should hand wash your set and let it drip dry; however, because it's mesh, you could also toss it in the washer on a delicate setting in a lingerie bag or pillow case.

For storage, keep this set anywhere you keep the rest of your delicates.

The first time I went to wear this, the top confused the hell out of me. I tried pulling it on over my head and I remember standing there, frustrated as hell wondering how in the heck was somebody bigger than me supposed to get this thing on if I couldn't even do it. Then I saw right in front of me, a clip, like a front clasp bra. And I felt stupid. Until I got it on. It didn't make me feel the sexiest I've ever felt, but with smaller breasts, it didn't make them look bad, which I was happy with.

The whole set passes the long term wear test, except if you're concerned about the thong lacking a crotch liner, then I would substitute a plain black pair of whatever undies you want to wear.

I just wish it made my boobs look even better, but with a black bra, they look fantastic in this set ;)

Even though I've gained a bit of weight, the top still fits fine and still works nicely over other tank tops. I'm still happy with it, even if I have no idea where the thong went.
