Tell me about it:

The black Wet Look Skirt by Coquette is a mini skirt that is available in black or red and ranges in size from small to 1x/2x. This skirt would be suitable for public wear depending on your level of comfort with shiny mini skirts. It is something that would be ideal for a play party or bedroom play if you are into dressing up for your significant other.

Material:

The Wet Look Skirt is made of 80% nylon and 20% spandex, exclusive of trim. The material possesses a good resistance to oils, greases and solvents and the spandex makes it able to stretch repeatedly and still recover its original shape. It is a somewhat stretchy material containing spandex, but it will only stretch so far so don't over do it or you may damage the skirt.

The outside material of the skirt feels smooth and is shiny with some slight sparkle which seems to be typical of Wet Look items and it has a small amount of drag when you run a finger down it. The inside material is softer to the touch with no drag at all and is very comfortable for wearing for long periods of time.

Design: All measurements taken with the skirt laid flat

I first measured from the waistband down the front of the skirt to the bottom and found it be 11" long which is a pretty decent length for those of us with smaller builds. On a larger lady it may be too short to cover much. The skirt is 21" across the bottom from side to side and easily stretches about 4" more. The waistband unstretched is 13" from side to side and also easily stretches 4" more and is made up of a 1/2" elastic band covered in black polyester material. The Coquette/size/washing instructions tags are located on the back in the middle and there are black ribbon loops for hanging the skirt on a hanger. Along the bottom of the skirt there is about 3/4" of the nylon/spandex material folded up and stitched to make sure there's no fraying. I only found a few loose threads in the stitching and where the covering on the waistband overlaps it could have been folded and sewn nicer.

Sizing: True to size - Only pants and hip measurements needed to determine your size

I was gifted this skirt in a Medium and could have technically worn a small, but I have a more pronounced butt than some ladies similar in build to myself so the Medium actually covers my bum quite nicely. There's about an inch or two of material that hangs below the bottom of my ass. When I sit down it doesn't really ride up too much but bending over will end up flashing all the goodies.

Storing & Care:

The Wet Look Skirt came wrapped up in pink tissue paper inside the shipping box. The included ribbon loops make hanging this skirt on a hanger in your closet very easy and that is the suggested method of storage for this to avoid too much damage.

This skirt should be hand washed in tepid water with a gentle soap and hang to dry in an airy place. Do NOT soak, boil or bleach.

I still love this skirt even though the waistband fabric's stitching is coming undone. I have to resew that part but otherwise it's in great condition and I have worn it out a couple times.
