Satin garter belt - garters discontinued by Coquette - review by tami

I received this garter belt as a gift from a dear friend. I have it in size 2x and I am not sure when she ordered it but I see it is only available in sizes S. The sizing chart runs just about right but a tad bit small.

This garter belt is made of 100% acetate. I have never heard of this other than being in a liquid, so I looked it up. Acetate fabric is either a synthetic or manufactured fiber that mostly looks and feels like silk or satin. The title of this garter is a bit misleading since it isn't really satin. It is shiny and looks great in multiple light settings. I can pair it with the wet look items, which was why I really wanted it.

This piece is not very stretchy at all. It has a zipper in the front, and in the back is a few hook and eye closures. The garter straps are not removable. I am a little bit disappointed in the quality of this garter compared to other products I have from Coquette.

Okay, now there are a lot of really nice things bout the design. For size I got, 2 XL, the garter belt is 6 1/2" long at the zipper and 5" long where the garters are sewn. There are size pieces of boning, of what feels like plastic at various points around the garter belt. The front ones are further apart from each other than the back ones. The garters are attached on the inside of the bottom of the garter, right below where the boning ends. Unfortunately, they are not removable.

Okay the zipper is a royal pain in the ass! Oh I am not even kidding, the damn thing is plastic and when you try to zip it up the teeth turn out on it and it gets stuck. UGH! If it was metal it might have worked better. Since it is plastic the darn thing will not stay up and every time I sit the thing unzips so the only place I can wear it is the bedroom.
