Lace over satin bra and garter set - shelf bra, panty and garter belt set discontinued by Coquette - review by cherryredhead88

This set is awesome. It is a fantastic choice if you want to be an excellent tease for your lover, and the garter belt and panties can be worn under clothing (the bra could too if you don't mind your tits hanging out). It is beautiful design wise and made well.

*Design*

This set consists of a shelf (or is it demi?) type bra, an adjustable garter belt and g string. They are made of lace with satin accents and come in a gorgeous black and (almost burgundy)purple type color.

The bra is mostly black with lace design over the burgundy colored cups. They are designed for you to show the girls and would look great with some pasties like the ones the model is wearing in the pictures. I was hoping that this type of bra would be a good fit for a large breasted woman like myself, but it actually looks kind of strange because the girls hang over the cups and kind of hide them. There are fake diamonds between the cups to accent the piece and draw attention to cleavage. Small, perky, or fake breasts would look great in this but if you have a larger chest it might not work out as good.

The garter belt is fantastic! It is adjustable so it really will fit most women. It is also made of lace, with satin ribbons pleated through it around the top and down the sides. The garters are of a different kind that I have never seen before: they are made of small rubber fasteners that slide into a metal piece in order to hold your thigh highs up (as opposed to the clip type garters that I have seen). Another fake diamond is placed on the front of the garter belt, under the usual bow, to accent it nicely. This fits really well and looks great on any skin type. It may be better for taller women, however, because I have to pull the belt up a bit in order for the garters to fit right (I am 5'5). Shorter girls might find the garters hanging more towards their knees.

The g string is a bit small, but they still fit nonetheless. They are designed the same as the garter belt, only without the diamond. What, no bows you say? Yeah right! There are two small bows on either side of the front panel.

*Measurements*

I take lingerie measurements by laying the piece(s) flat and measuring length and width of everything. I think you double the measurements to get an idea of how well it would fit for you.

*Mine*

I am a 40D cup, 42" waist and 44" hip. As mentioned above, I am 5'5.

*The set measures*

The bra measures 28" from end to end when layed flat. The straps are quite stretchy and there are 3 hook and eye closures to adjust for your frame. The cups measure 7" long and 3" tall a piece, and the shoulder straps are adjustable and measure about 14" at the loosest setting.

The garter belt measures 19" long at its widest, but has the ability to stretch an extra inch or so. From the top of the belt to the bottom of the garter straps measures 13" long.

The g string is in the wash right now so I can't measure it, but I will guess that it is about 18" long (so 36" around) as it is kind of small on me.

These measurements sound like they would be small for someone of my build, but I am able to adjust the garter and bra to fit me comfortably and without cutting into my skin, so I would say there is a little extra room. I still say order L if you are in the high end of the size chart, though.
