Cinched. Sweet. Long puff sleeves sit off the shoulder above a corset-style lace-up waist panel, with a floral-embroidered mini skirt and lace hem trim finishing the look below. This peasant costume treats the waist as a real feature rather than a plain seam, giving the whole silhouette a defined, folktale shape. Cold-shoulder puff sleeves - long sleeves that sit off the shoulder line Corset-style lace-up waist - cream ribbon lacing cinches the middle Floral-embroidered skirt - decorative stitching sets it apart from a plain mini Lace-trimmed hemline - finishes the skirt's lower edge Elasticated shoulder line - keeps the cold-shoulder cut in place Fitted waist silhouette - the lacing shapes the middle of the dress\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Belongs in Your Wardrobe\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA folktale-style costume lives or dies on the waist detail, and a plain elastic band rarely reads as anything more than a basic mini dress. The corset-style lacing here does real visual work, cinching the middle while the floral embroidery on the skirt keeps the eye moving rather than landing on a flat, single-colour panel. The cold-shoulder sleeves add a soft, folk-inspired touch without covering the arms completely, which keeps the whole costume feeling considered instead of like a last-minute pull from a rack. It suits a themed party, an Oktoberfest-style evening, or any occasion calling for a character costume with genuine construction rather than a plain solid dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026amp;amp; Benefits Cream ribbon lacing: laces through metal-toned grommets down the waist panel. Embroidered floral skirt: raised stitching adds texture the eye can follow. Puff sleeve shaping: keeps volume through the upper arm without bulk. Lace hem trim: softens the transition at the skirt's lower edge. Cold-shoulder cutout: a folk-inspired detail rather than a plain long sleeve. Structured waist panel: holds its shape through a full evening of wear. Fit \u0026amp;amp; Comfort The bodice has stretch through the body, and the lace-up waist panel can be loosened or tightened to suit your comfort level rather than sitting at one fixed size. The cold-shoulder elastic keeps the sleeves in place without slipping down through the evening, and the mini skirt sits with enough give to move freely. Coverage through the bodice is close but not restrictive, making it comfortable for dancing or standing for long stretches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyle Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolk and peasant-style costumes have a long-standing place in seasonal dress-up, drawing on the same silhouette lines seen in traditional Alpine and countryside dress. This version keeps the corset lacing and floral embroidery that define the look while trimming the skirt to a shorter, party-ready length. The cold-shoulder sleeve is a more modern addition to the classic silhouette, softening what would otherwise be a fully covered long-sleeve costume into something better suited to a warm venue or a late evening out. Fabric \u0026amp;amp; Care The dress body is a woven blend with embroidered floral detailing on the skirt panel and a ribbon lace-up waist. Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry to protect the embroidery and ribbon lacing. Avoid high heat, which can flatten the raised stitching over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyling Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoosen the waist lacing slightly before putting the dress on, then tighten to fit once it's in place. A pair of ankle boots keeps the silhouette grounded in the folktale theme. Braided or plaited hair pulls the whole look together without extra effort. Simple gold jewellery complements the embroidery without competing with it. Check the sleeve elastic sits evenly on both shoulders before heading out the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Shoppers Notice Most\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReviewers frequently mention the lace-up waist as more adjustable and comfortable than expected, with several noting they could size the fit up or down on the same evening. The floral embroidery gets called out as a nicer detail than a plain printed skirt, and the cold-shoulder sleeve is mentioned as flattering rather than restrictive. Buyers also appreciate that the lacing holds through a full night of dancing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Questions Answered\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ: What size should I order?

A: Yes, the ribbon laces through grommets so you can tighten or loosen it to fit. Q: Does the cold-shoulder cut slip during wear? A: No, an elasticated shoulder line keeps the sleeves in place. Q: Is the floral detail embroidered or printed? A: It's embroidered, giving the skirt raised texture rather than a flat print. Q: What occasions suit this costume? A: Themed parties, Oktoberfest-style events, and folktale character evenings. Q: How do I care for the embroidery and lacing? A: Hand wash cold, lay flat to dry, and avoid high heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFinal Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a folktale costume built around real waist detail rather than a plain elastic band. Add it to your basket and let the lacing and embroidery do the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lingerie Hut","offers":[{"title":"ED10119-2 \/ S","offer_id":57257578332540,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-2-S","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-2 \/ M","offer_id":57257578234236,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-2-M","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-2 \/ L","offer_id":57257578267004,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-2-L","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-2 \/ XL","offer_id":57257578692988,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-2-XL","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-2 \/ XXL","offer_id":57257578725756,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-2-XXL","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-2 \/ XXXL","offer_id":57257578627452,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-2-XXXL","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-2 \/ 4XL","offer_id":57257578660220,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-2-4XL","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-2 \/ 5XL","offer_id":57257578594684,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-2-5XL","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-1 \/ S","offer_id":57257578561916,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-1-S","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-1 \/ M","offer_id":57257578496380,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-1-M","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-1 \/ L","offer_id":57257578529148,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-1-L","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-1 \/ XL","offer_id":57257578430844,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-1-XL","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-1 \/ XXL","offer_id":57257578463612,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-1-XXL","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-1 \/ XXXL","offer_id":57257578365308,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-1-XXXL","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-1 \/ 4XL","offer_id":57257578398076,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-1-4XL","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ED10119-1 \/ 5XL","offer_id":57257578299772,"sku":"1005009680324753-ED10119-1-5XL","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/4729\/5786\/files\/lingeriehut-peasant-costume-corset-lace-up-waist-folktale-sweetheart-934.webp?v=1786102878","url":"https:\/\/lingeriehut.co.uk\/products\/peasant-costume-with-corset-lace-up-waist-folktale-sweetheart","provider":"Lingerie Hut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
