Bustier and g-string - bustier discontinued by Coquette - review by Kimmie1980ca

Use

Are you looking for something that has a slimming effect, and flattering if you have extra bulge in the tummy region? This Bustier and G-string by Coquette is my favorite and most worn item of lingerie. I never realized what a wonderful thing this can do for your body shape, as I'm a plus size women and it holds everything in. This made my waist look nice and small, and pushed my boobs up with nice cleavage. This helps give a nice sleek shape, an hourglass figure, and will make you feel super sexy wearing it. If you're looking for a sexy type of body shaping garment, then this will be your new favorite item.

Material / Texture / Design / Shape / Size

The tag on the bustier states that it's made of 90% polyester, and 10% spandex. The tag also states that it's made in China. It's located at the top on the back inside of the bustier. There's three tags in total: the Coquette logo tag, the sizing tag, and the fabric material/washing instructions tag.





Starting from the top of the bustier at the bust, the bust is slightly padded. The fabric is dark purple in color with a sheen, and has a satiny finish. On top of the fabric, is lined with black lace in a flower pattern, and the pretty purple shows through. The top of the bra has a lace ribbon that's sewn at the top, that borders across both breasts. The ribbon is 1" in height, and roughly 16" across. The shape of the bra cups are round, and padded to help add the support and cleavage to your breasts. There is a small black satin like bow between the breasts at the top, and measures 1.5" in width and 1/2" in height. The bra has an under-wire for added support!



You have an option to wear this bustier with straps, or without. If you're someone who needs a little extra support, then use the straps. There is also a satin ribbon loop that is sewn on both sides, where the armpit would be. These are so you can hang up your lingerie.



The front of the bustier below the bust is the same fabric as the bra portion: purple with black lace on top. The fabric goes at a diamond shape below the bust, and measures 6" in length from the middle top of bra. Below the diamond purple shaped fabric, is a black mesh type fabric. It's not quite a mesh, but you're able to see slightly through it. This portion of the fabric measures 8" in length directly in the middle, in the front, starting from the purple fabric point.

It has a closure like a bra, but instead of only a couple hook closures, there's a total of 19 all the way down. The total length would be 14". There's a choice of two rows when it comes to the closure of this bustier. So if you want it tighter or looser, you have the choice of what hook you want to use. The bustier has plastic boning sewn in at the front and sides, at a total of five.



At the bottom of each boning, the fabric dips longer into a "V", with the garter knee-high attachments. You're able to clip and hold up any thigh-highs, and are located all around the bustier. There are 6 garter attachments in total: three in the front, one on each side, and two at the back.



The g-string is mainly made of the same material as the bra, purple fabric and lined on top with black lace. It's got a thin black spandex string/elastic that borders the panties, and runs along the opening for the legs, to the back thong portion. The thong fits low, but is comfortable.





Care and Maintenance

This item has delicate properties to it, so you would want to hand wash it in cool water. You would want to use a mild soap. I personally like to use Zero for all my intimates. Do NOT put this in the washing machine or dryer. You will want to let this hang and air dry, to prevent any damage.

Packaging

This item came on a satin hanger that had a ribbon with "Coquette" printed on it. The hanger is black in color, and has a little metal button on both ends. This is so it can hold the babydoll by the satin strips without it falling off. It also had attached to the hanger, a separate metal portion that was holding the g-string on. This metal part was like a pants hanger, with the clips.

Everything came wrapped in clear plastic and was sealed. The straps came inside a clear little Ziploc bag, two to be exact. The original cardboard Coquette product tag was pinned to the lingerie. The product tag had photos of a model wearing the lingerie, both front and back view. On the label it had the washing instructions stating to hand wash the item. The washing instructions are little pictures, one is a washing machine with an "X" through it. Excellent presentation when it comes to the packaging.





I'm in love with my new corset, and it's another excellent quality product from Coquette. I wear a size 14 or an XL, and the XL fits me perfectly. I'm 100% happy with it, and it does wonders for my figure. With the spandex mixed into the fabric, it's stretchy and has some give. With the two rows of eye-hook closures at the back, adds a little extra space for comfort and size adjustments. With me being borderline plus size, this corset sucks and holds everything in. It actually makes me look a size smaller then I am!

This is the plus size women's best friend, just make sure to follow the sizing chart to get the right size.

This item is smoother then the other bustier that I own, and can be worn under clothing. I like to wear this number under a dress, and it holds my thigh-highs up nicely. It pushes and holds up my breasts, sucks and holds in my tummy fat, and leaves me with a wonderful hourglass shape. This is comfortable to wear all day, as I've worn it to work before under a dress. You will feel super sexy wearing it, yet no one will realize you have it on under your clothes!

With losing over 100Lbs I have quite a bit of hanging skin, and most tummy concealing garments are ugly. Finally I found an item that sucks and holds my loose skin, and actually looks hot. It took a little practice to get this item on by myself, but after a while it was no problem. I wear this quite often under clothing, and it works wonders! Excellent product.
