Leopard shelf bra set - shelf bra, panty and garter belt set discontinued by Coquette - review by The Temptress

The leopard print shelf bra set will make your partner want to stroke you till you purr! The set comes with a shelf bra, thong panties and the garter belt, all trimmed with beautiful black lace. It’s the perfect set to wear for a sexy evening in, or beneath a dress on a hot date.

When I first pulled it out of it’s package I was immediately surprised by the material. For some reason I had anticipated the set being satin or silk, but it’s actually made from nylon and spandex. (Which it clearly states in the description. I guess I simply didn't read the description!) It’s very stretchy which gives it a slightly cheaper feel, but I found the stretchiness handy when it came to the garter belt. As a somewhat curvy girl (size 12) garter belts can be tricky. But the large fit me perfectly after I adjusted it to it's fullest length.

All in all I was exceptionally pleased by the quality, and how it looked and felt. It's comfortable and sexy and for the most part stayed put. No constant tugging on the stockings with this outfit! I’ve never worn a shelf bra before, but having recently had breast lift surgery I wanted something that would show off the new girls. This outfit was perfect.

That being said, I don’t think shelf bras are ideal for any woman who has very large breasts. The bra will simply disappear beneath your breasts... which kind of defeats the purpose. I kept having to adjust the bra so the lace was actually ON my breasts as opposed to under them. Unless your breasts defy gravity, you are a C cup or less, or you will only be wearing it when you are lying on your back – you might get frustrated with the bra.

Despite that small negative I still love it and will wear it often. Donned with some sexy back seam stockings it makes me feel like a retro pinup girl... which was in fact my husbands first words when he saw me in it; "Wow, that is sexy! And now you look even more like Bettie Page." Well in that case, this little ensemble is now on the top of my favorites list!

Yes, this is still sexy as hell and one of our favorites. It has held up well, and I always feel gorgeous when I slip it on.
