It's a one-piece shape, so there's nothing to match up or twist into place at the back, just one dress you step into and you're ready for the theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLace bust with a centred cross patch\u003c\/strong\u003e - the one costume detail that carries the whole theme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThin tie straps with a bow at each shoulder\u003c\/strong\u003e - a softer finish than a plain strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuffled, asymmetric hem\u003c\/strong\u003e - a playful edge instead of a straight-cut skirt line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-piece mini dress shape\u003c\/strong\u003e - nothing to line up before you leave the house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross patch set into sheer lace rather than a solid panel\u003c\/strong\u003e - keeps the theme visible without covering the lace underneath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuffled hem cut on an angle\u003c\/strong\u003e - moves rather than sitting in one flat line when you walk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe angled ruffle is doing more work than a straight hem would. A lot of nurse costumes stop at a plain mini skirt, so the ruffled, uneven edge is what stops this one reading as a generic white dress with a patch stitched on. It's built as a one-piece rather than a top-and-skirt combination, which means less to sort out once you're in it, but it also means the length is fixed rather than something you can lengthen or shorten to taste. Worth knowing before you order: the lace at the bust is sheer, so treat this as an evening piece rather than daywear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and Coverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a close-cut shape through the bust and hip, with a short, ruffled hem that sits well above the knee, giving a fitted, low-coverage costume length overall. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFabric and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe don't have a composition breakdown for this one, so we'd point you to what's visible: a soft, sheer lace at the bust over a smooth, matte-finish fabric through the skirt. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheer fishnet tights if you want to lean further into the look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA single choker or thin necklace, kept close so it doesn't compete with the lace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeeled ankle boots for the walk from the door to wherever the party is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails You'll Love\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the kind of costume that does one thing and does it properly: one patch, one ruffle, one dress you can put on in under a minute, rather than a costume that needs three separate pieces sorted just right before you're actually dressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Questions Answered\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size nurse costume should I order if I'm between sizes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGo with the larger size if you're between two - it's a close cut through the bust and hip, so the bigger option sits better than one that pulls at the seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this nurse costume a one-piece or a separate top and skirt?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a one-piece mini dress, so the bust and skirt are joined as a single garment rather than two pieces you'd match up yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the fishnet tights shown with this costume come included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, the tights are a styling idea rather than something that ships with it, so you'd want to source a pair separately if you want that look.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lingerie Hut","offers":[{"title":"White with hat \/ S","offer_id":57320896692604,"sku":"1005012451322570-White with hat-S","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White with hat \/ M","offer_id":57320896856444,"sku":"1005012451322570-White with hat-M","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White with hat \/ L","offer_id":57320896823676,"sku":"1005012451322570-White with hat-L","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White with hat \/ XL","offer_id":57320896758140,"sku":"1005012451322570-White with hat-XL","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"hat stethoscope \/ S","offer_id":57320896790908,"sku":"1005012451322570-hat stethoscope-S","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"hat stethoscope \/ M","offer_id":57320896725372,"sku":"1005012451322570-hat stethoscope-M","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"hat stethoscope \/ L","offer_id":57320896889212,"sku":"1005012451322570-hat stethoscope-L","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"hat stethoscope \/ XL","offer_id":57320896921980,"sku":"1005012451322570-hat stethoscope-XL","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/4729\/5786\/files\/lingeriehut-nurse-costume-ruffled-hem-cross-patch-bust-after-dark-298.webp?v=1787063242","url":"https:\/\/lingeriehut.co.uk\/products\/nurse-costume-with-ruffled-hem-and-cross-patch-bust-after-dark","provider":"Lingerie Hut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
