Fishnet convertible chemise set - chemise and panty set by Coquette - review by Jul!a

This is another neat and unique design for lingerie, giving you the opportunity to wear the top either as a long chemise/mini dress or as a shorter cami type deal.

I got this set in a size small. To Coquette, this means I should be a size 4-6, with a B cup, a 34-36" bust, 26-28" waist, and 36-38" hips. Personally I'm about 5'2, I weigh about 110, around my bust measures 32" and underneath measures about 28 1/2". I've got about a 29" waist with 37" hips and wear a good solid B cup. While it doesn't do anything especially fantastic for smaller breasts, it doesn't look ridiculous either. Everything here is so stretchy too that if you're right on the border, you might be able to order a size down.

With this set you get the top piece and a thong. The top is mostly a soft see-through black mesh, but also features some fishnet and a solid fuchsia piece of fabric in a bandeau style top. It rouches a little where it meets in the middle letting the outer edges of the cups come up more for more coverage. The outer edge of each cup is about 5" tall and where the cups meet is about 2 1/2" tall. The solid fabric ends at the sides of the breasts leaving the back open fishnet. The straps that tie around the back of the neck come out from the center of the cups and are about 20" long each. Underneath the cups is a small keyhole. It its unrouched state, from the bottom of the cups to the bottom hemline is about 17". When you pull the strings on the side to shorten it, you can get it as short as about 5" from under the bust to the bottom of the top. The strings on the side can be tied in a bow to keep it rouched wherever you want it to be. The top looks more flattering in its longer position, but doesn't hug curves in the way it could. This might be different if you have more accentuated curves. If you're short, it's going to fit more like a mini dress, but a longer torso will raise the hemline.

The thong is designed fairly well in the adjustable t-back style, so if you want to adjust where the butt string falls along the waistband, you can do that. The main design matches the bandeau top with the fuchsia background and black fishnet. The waistband seems to enjoy getting tangled up in itself a lot, and there isn't much you can do about it. It doesn't seem to affect the wear-ability too much though. It stretches to about 18" when laid flat, and on my 37" hips I felt like there was still some wiggle room.

This is an older piece from Coquette, so the tag style is a little different than what you might be used to seeing, having the black with the red lips, and then a separate white tag with materials/care instructions. It's easy to see that it's 82% Nylon and 18% Spandex, but the washing instructions are less obvious. You can safely wash this in a machine if you're on low with cold water and in a lingerie bag or pillow case. I'd avoid the dryer though and stick to letting it dry flat. You can easily store this in a drawer since it's very unlikely to wrinkle.

Here's a few pictures for you of the top in its longest and as short as I could get it while wearing it.

Because this has the solid cups, I can pretty much guarantee that I'll be wearing it as a shirt this summer. It really doesn't make my boobs look great, but it doesn't detract from them at all either. I've had more issues with how the rest of the chemise lays. When it's shortened, it looks bulky. At least to me when I'm looking in a mirror. When it's long it doesn't seem like it does anything for my curves when I'm looking in the mirror. When looking at pictures I changed my mind some, but I'm still not absolutely in love with how this looks on me. I do love the bright fuchsia of the top and it's super comfortable, so that about evens it out for me.

All in all though, I'm happy that I bought it, and I'll happily wear it out and about.
