Retro bra and panty with ruffle set - bra and panty set discontinued by Coquette - review by dlw

I absolutely adore this set!

PACKAGING:

It arrived in a plain cellophane bag. Nothing special. The set itself has 1 tag safety pinned to the bra for easy removal and it does not damage the product. There is a small materials tag by the hook on the bra and one very small size tag on the thong. Neither of them seemed to be in the way or itchy.

MATERIALS:

The ruffled panties are thong style. They have a stretchy, elastic waistband. The front of the panty has black lace in a flower pattern with a pink lining. It continues up the back in black nylon mesh to a big, pink satin bow and ruffles!

The bra has 2 hook and eye closures with 3 possible adjustments. The cups are have the same black flower lace at the thong and are lined in soft, stretchy pink material as well. The side straps are made of a sexy see-through black lycra/mesh material. At the top of each cup starting at the center and continuing up the front shoulder is an adorable ruffle. Located at the front center of the bra is another big, pink satin bow. The demi-cups have an underwire but no padding. The straps are adjustable.

I cannot believe the price is so low on this set because the materials are high quality and it is well constructed. This is superior to other sets I have previously purchased for a much higher price.


FIT:

I would describe the set as very stretchy. If you tend to fluctuate on weight a few pounds depending on the time of the month, I think this set will accommodate you. The cups have underwire but no padding, so you have to make a deal with gravity because it's not gonna push you up. Fortunately, it does have adjustable straps which really helps with the fit. Also, the bra has demi cups so you are not fully covered and that makes it sexy. All of the material on these pieces are extremely soft and not irritating on the skin (as sometimes ruffles or lace can be).

I am not the biggest thong fan, but I felt very comfortable in these panties. They are comfortable enough to wear for a long period of time, however, because of the ruffles and bows, you probably should not wear them under clothes for everyday use.

You do not have to be a super model girl like the one in the picture to look good in this. I am pretty average - 5'8", B cup, 27" waist and the size small fit great!


CARE:

On the tag is written to handwash the set. I washed the bra and panties on the permanent press cycle with other delicates and it has held up just fine through several washings. Neither piece needs to be hung up -- I just keep them both folded in my lingerie drawer. The bows do not untie so you do not have to worry about trying to get them tied perfectly each time you wear this.

HONEST OPINION:

I am a big fan of both ruffles and bows so I completely fell in love when I saw this set. It has both the sexiness of black to make it seem naughty and a touch of pink to make it feminine and sweet. If you are considering purchasing this set, I would say DO IT! You will not be disappointed. I look and feel so sexy AND comfortable in both pieces from the moment I put it on until it comes off (and that happens in between).

This set was a gift for me from my boyfriend and when I tried it on for him he totally L-O-V-E-D it as much as I did! I was across the room and he asked me to walk closer and turn around so he check it out from every aspect. Then he asked me to do it again!

I don't just still like it...I LOVE it. This set makes me feel sexy every time. It has lasted through several wearings and washings and looks perfect. I make sure to lay it just right after washing it so the bows keep a great shape. If you like to be a little girly at times, this set is for you!
