Bra and g-string with rhinestones - bra and panty set discontinued by Coquette - review by kitty377

Overview/Use: The Coquette Bra and g-string with rhinestones is a quality set suited for the inner show girl in us all. I have cherished this set on Eden Fantasys for a while and the size small finally came back in stock so I was thrilled to try it out! I have to say that the g-string is top notch but smaller cup sized gals should take caution (I will elaborate more on that in the sizing section). This sizing issue was rather disappointing to me but all in all I am pleased with this set and I will be using it again.

I wouldn't recommend this set to wear underneath clothing because of the ruffles, bows, and rhinestones. The bra is not intended to cover the entire breast, so it would look pretty strange under a blouse! The g-string is pretty sturdy but I would be cautious wearing it under anything because the rhinestones could come off especially under something like blue jeans. I see this bra and panty as strictly a bedroom set. It is meant to be sexy! What I love most about it is the glamorous appeal! All of the adornments work together to create a stunning combination. It reminds me of something a classy show girl might wear, especially if you added some pasties! I wore my set with leg avenue's black thigh highs with ruffles and bows. You could also spice it up with these glam marabou slippers!

Material/Design: This set is made of %100 acetate (exclusive of trim), read about it here. The bra is rather interesting because it has hooks in the back and has a front closure. This is nice because the back closure is basic hook and eye style and has 3 rows of eyes so you can adjust the size and the front closure can be used for quick and easy access. I also love the front closure because it is adorned with 3 rhinestones that match the panty. The elastic shoulder straps on the bra are also adjustable. The bra cups are lightly padded and have underwire. At the tops of the very minimal cups there's a cute and well attached satin ruffle.

The g-string has to be one of my favorite pair of panties ever based on design! It has so many of my favorite elements. The double straps on each side are made out of soft velvet elastic with well attached rhinestones. There is a bow on the back of the thong that is made of satin and is sewn on very well and won't come off or untied. The front of the panty also has a nice satin ruffle.

Sizing: Unfortunately the bra in this set does not fit me very well (I ordered the size small). I am an xs/s, 00/0, a 32 A and 5'7. Because of my tall and slender stature I am used to having a hard time finding well fitting clothes. I adjusted the bra a number of times and I could never get it to look quite right. This was my first time buying a bra that was bust-less and I'm now hesitant to try any other even though I think they are so pretty. The padding almost went up to my nipple and covered a very large area of my breast. Sometimes I yearn for a big wholesome set of tits that would look stunning in a bra like this! The panties fit me well but buyers should take into consideration that the double elastic bands on the hips do not have a great deal of stretch like some other elastics would. If you fit into the general small, medium, or large categories the panties should work, but I would not depend on the elastic stretching too much.

Care: The tag advises that this set needs to be hand washed. I would definitely take the advice of Coquette to keep your lingerie looking great for a long time. I take instructions to hand wash very literally and gently wash in warm water in the sink. Sometimes I fill the sink with 4 or 5 inches of warm water with a dab of clothes detergent and gently wash my items that need special care and then I drain the sink and rinse with warm water and hang to dry.

Packaging: This set came shipped in a plain box (like all EF orders). The lingerie was wrapped in hot pink tissue paper, a touch that I love since it makes the order that much more special. There was a tag on the bra that was thick card stock with a picture of a model wearing the set. The tag was attached with a black satin ribbon and a safety pin.

I love this Coquette set and it looks even sexier with the additions I suggested! When I dress up in lingerie I try my hardest to look extra sexy and polished for my boyfriend. I curl my hair, put on some sultry makeup, shave, and use my sexiest perfume. What I love so much about lingerie is the process of getting sexy and then showing off my look to my boyfriend. Even though I wasn't satisfied with the fit of the bra my boyfriend didn't even notice, he thought I looked beautiful, and at the end of the day that's what matters.

Unfortunately I never got to use this piece for my boyfriend because it was not flattering on me at all. My breasts are just too small for the bra. The Coquette Bra and g-string with rhinestones is stunning and if you have a nice plump rack then try it! But all small chested ladies beware.
