Gathered mesh bra and gartered skirtini - bra and panty set discontinued by Coquette - review by Eeyor89

This bra and panty set is a must have for all. It makes you feel so sexy when you put it on. The black mesh tones down the bright neon green just enough to give a sultry, playful, and hot look. The size runs a little on the big side. I am a 36 C with an average waist, and the top fit a little too loose for me (even on the smallest latch). The bottom, however, fits nicely, but if tugged on even just a little bit it will easily fall to the floor.

Now for more details:

Packaging: The outfit was packaged in a plastic bag to protect it from harm. The bag was wrapped in pink chiffon (tissue) paper, which I think is really cute. If the garter straps are not on the outfit, don't worry just check the bag as they might have fallen off. If so, they re-attach easily.

The outfit: The top is like a typical bra with under-wires; it covers most of your breast easily. In the middle of the cups hangs a pair of Coquette metal lips from a bright green ribbon. Most of the top is black; however, the cups are the bright neon green with the black mesh overlay. The mesh is gathered at the bottom of the cups, and more spread out over the top, which allows it to appear as if the color changes shades (i.e. darker/lighter). There is also a cute ruffle at the top which extends about a half inch above the actual cup of the bra; it is trimmed out in green thread. I have the large size and besides a loose fit around the bust, it is a nice fit overall. The material is a stretchy and durable spandex and nylon mix that's very comfortable.

The bottom has a very cute skirtini which almost covers my butt; the skirtini is about three inches long and is trimmed out in the same green thread as the ruffle on the top. The ruffled end of it helps to accentuate you butt making it look fuller and very sexy. It is made from the same material that bathing suits are made from so it lightly hangs there, and moves with you to complement all of your curves. On both sides of the bottom are two small bright green bows that are the same color as the bow on the top and the inside of the thong. Also, the g-string is attached to the skirt, which I don't mind because otherwise it is just like any other g-string you can buy at the store. The only part of the skirtini that is green is the top part in the front. And if you don't really like to wear stockings, there are no worries because the garter straps are removable. You can also leave them on and let them hang there against your thighs, without wearing stockings.

Care and Maintanance: When washing this outfit be sure to hand wash it in cold water with a detergent made for use on delicates. If you choose to wash it in a washing machine, make sure the setting is set to the gentle cycle. DO NOT USE BLEACH. This will cause the colors to fade. After washing, either hang it up to dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting (hang drying is the best option). When dry, you can fold it up and store it in a dresser drawer or hang it up on a hanger. I prefer to hang it up as this prevents any chance of being crushed in a drawer.

Sizing: The top does not have much padding and the cups of the bra are not made to suit all breast sizes. So if you are more on the flat chested side of things and prefer a good amount of padding, then this may not be something for you. Same goes for if you are a DD or bigger, the cup size will be too small. And like I said before the sizing runs big. If you are in between sizes it is a safe to go with the smaller size. I am in the middle of a medium and large, I chose the large but kinda wish I would have gone with a medium for a snugger fit.

I really enjoy wearing this outfit. It complements my body style very well. The top makes my breasts look great, it makes me feel like me 36 Cs are more like 36 Ds (Woo hoo). And the bottoms make my waist look smaller and sexier. And no matter how long I plan on wearing this outfit for my partner, it never stays on long. I only recommend this outfit for people who want to feel sexy.

I still love this sexy little outfit. It has remained its elasticity really well, and still flatters my body. The bottoms hang on my hips rather than hug them; I don’t use the garters. And also since the garters are plastic they don’t hold on to my thigh highs real good. Now because the garters are removable you can actually replace them with some metal ones (to get a better grip). I was concerned about the bra straps because they are so thin, but they are holding up nicely. Sometimes I will switch them out for some clear straps so that I can wear it with a strapless shirt or dress. So overall I am still in love with the Gathered Mesh Bra and Skirtini.
