🌿 Full Review: Floral Two-Piece with Corset Top
By Lily Hayes
First Impressions
Okay — I’ll be honest. I ordered this floral set on a whim at 1 a.m., fully expecting it to be a meh situation I’d wear once for a picture and then forget. But when it arrived, I was like, “Wait… is this actually good?”
It comes as a three-piece set: a flowy floral overshirt, matching high-waisted shorts, and a corset-style top that looks like it might require a medieval maid to lace it up. Spoiler: it doesn’t. It's stretchy and surprisingly wearable.
The Look & Fabric
Let’s start with the fabric. Both the overshirt and shorts are made from this light, airy material that honestly feels like linen’s flirty cousin. Not scratchy, not heavy, just breathable and perfect for warm days when I don’t want anything clinging to me. The floral print is soft and muted — nothing loud or busy — which makes it easy to style.
Now, the corset. I was scared. It looks intimidating. But it’s actually made with stretchy mesh panels and a soft lining, so it holds shape without suffocating me. It zips up the back and has light boning in front for structure. And it actually fits — no weird gapping or falling down, even on my smaller chest.
Fit & Sizing
I went with my usual size (S), and everything fits just right. The shorts have an elastic waistband — bless — and the top is snug without being tight. If you're between sizes, I’d say size up just for comfort, especially if you want the corset to feel more like a top and less like a compression device.
One thing I’ll mention: the overshirt is oversized oversized. It hangs really loose, which I personally like, but if you want it more fitted, maybe consider tailoring or sizing down if possible (though I didn’t see size options for the shirt separately).
How I Wore It
First time out, I wore the full set to brunch with sandals and a messy bun — instant compliments. The second time, I swapped the corset for a white tee and made it super casual. The third time? Wore the corset with jeans and heels, and yes, it was giving main character energy.
This is one of those sets where you can mix and match everything. Each piece feels like it could belong to a completely different outfit, which honestly makes me feel like I tricked AliExpress into giving me three outfits in one go.
Quality Check
Is it luxury? No. But for the price I paid, I’m genuinely happy with it. The seams are neat, nothing fell apart in the wash (I’ve washed it twice so far, cold + hang dry), and the print hasn’t faded. The corset structure held up too — no wonky bending or warping.
One tiny downside: the corset lining is white, so if you wear dark undergarments, they might peek through in certain light. I just go with a nude bra and it's fine.
Final Thoughts
I didn’t expect to love this set as much as I do. It’s fun, flirty, and actually versatile. It’s not one of those pieces you wear once and forget. It’s one of those you keep reaching for — when you want to feel a little extra but still comfy.
If you're into light layers, soft florals, and a bit of drama (hello, corset), this one might surprise you like it surprised me.
Let me know if you try it — I’m curious if it gives the same vibe on everyone else too. 🫶
