Red mesh and lace bustier - bustier discontinued by Coquette - review by panthercat23

My biggest complaint about this product is that it doesn't come with the matching panties. Other than that, I can't find anything wrong with it.

It is made of a sheer material with lace side panels. Along the center back, it is held closed with a row of bra clasps that run the entire length of the piece. There are two different rows that these can be fastened to, which will change the size of the garment by about an inch.

I bought this in an XL and was very happy with the fit. I was only worried about the bust fit. I have a 40C chest and EF claims this should fit someone with a 42-44D. I did not fit it to be big on me in the least bit, it was comfortably snug. It fit like it should have. So, I think this piece runs a little small, as many of Coquette's pieces do.

This piece also comes with a bag of garters that can be attached. I attached mine, and I don't think I will be able to remove them if I wished to do so in the future. The little loops under the outfit that the garter hooks are threaded into are so tight, that I could barely get them in. I think mine are now in to stay. The loops are so tight, I was afraid I would break the little hooks trying to get them in.

Overall, this is a great piece that I'm sure will see plenty of wear in the future. I wish the matching panties were included, but it is possible to pair almost any pair of black panties with it and they will work. I think this piece deserves five stars because the only thing that would make it better is the matching panties.

I still like this piece, but I have noticed after some wear that the side seams are starting to pull apart. I am not sure how well the stitching will hold on this piece for much longer.
