Cheeky. Confident. The high-shine crop top laces up the centre in a genuine crisscross pattern while the pleated plaid skirt swings freely below, and the two pieces together do more visual work than either one would manage alone. This schoolgirl costume favours real structure over a plain printed set. High-shine lace-up crop top - a fitted top with ribbon lacing down the centre front Pleated plaid mini skirt - a fully pleated, above-the-knee silhouette Thin adjustable straps - set the crop top's fit and coverage to suit you High-waist skirt fit - sits above the natural waistline for a longer leg line Cropped hem construction - the top sits at the midriff for a two-piece silhouette Genuine lace-up front - functional lacing rather than a decorative panel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Belongs in Your Wardrobe\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou don't need a costume with a plain elastic waistband pretending to be structured, this one gives you real lace-up construction you can actually adjust. The high-shine crop top and pleated skirt work as two genuinely considered pieces rather than a single printed unit. It's built for a themed night, a private evening, or any moment you want a costume with more construction than a basic two-piece. A functional lace-up front does more for a costume's credibility than almost any other single detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026amp;amp; Benefits Genuine ribbon lace-up: adjusts the fit and coverage through the torso, not just for show. High-shine top fabric: catches light for a sculpted, polished finish. Fully pleated skirt: each pleat is stitched down for a crisp, consistent finish. Not the stiff kind of ribbon - the lacing has enough give to tie comfortably without cutting in. High-waist construction: sits above the hip bone for a longer, cleaner leg line. Cropped hem fit: shows the midriff for a genuine two-piece silhouette. Fit \u0026amp;amp; Comfort The crop top has adjustable straps and a lace-up front you control yourself for a personalised fit, and the skirt sits high on the waist with an elastic band for adjustable comfort. The pleats swing freely as you move, and the cropped hem is the main coverage consideration through the midriff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyle Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plaid pleated skirt keeps this costume anchored in the ongoing schoolgirl revival that's moved through both streetwear and lingerie design, while the high-shine lace-up top pulls it toward something closer to current boudoir styling. That combination of nostalgic pattern and modern structure is exactly the kind of mixing that keeps a themed costume from reading as a single dated idea. Pattern and construction working together like this is what lets a familiar theme feel current rather than like a straight repeat of the same costume you've seen a dozen times before. Fabric \u0026amp;amp; Care The top is a high-shine stretch fabric with a ribbon lace-up front, and the skirt is a woven plaid with stitched pleats. Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry to protect the shine and keep the pleats sharp. Avoid the tumble dryer, which will flatten the pleating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyling Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen it arrives, hang the skirt to let the pleats drop before your first wear. Black platform heels continue the leg line under the pleated hem. For a themed night, adjust the lace-up tension last, once the straps are set, for the most secure fit. A soft robe keeps you comfortable while you finish getting ready. The smart move is trying the crop top at a couple of lace-up tensions before deciding on the final look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Shoppers Notice Most\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis costume gets praise for how genuinely adjustable the lace-up front is compared to purely decorative versions, and customers mention the pleats hold their shape better than expected. Buyers appreciate that the top and skirt work well as separate pieces, and it's frequently noted as more detailed than similar costumes at this price point. The high-shine finish is mentioned often as photographing better than a plain matte crop top would.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Questions Answered\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ: What size should I order?

Add it to your basket and let the lace-up top and the pleats do the styling for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lingerie Hut","offers":[{"title":"01 \/ XL","offer_id":57253114708348,"sku":"1005008377141950-01-XL","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"01 \/ XXL","offer_id":57253114642812,"sku":"1005008377141950-01-XXL","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"01 \/ XXXL","offer_id":57253114675580,"sku":"1005008377141950-01-XXXL","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"01 \/ 4XL","offer_id":57253114610044,"sku":"1005008377141950-01-4XL","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/4729\/5786\/files\/lingeriehut-schoolgirl-costume-lace-up-crop-top-cheeky-confidence-308.webp?v=1785950140","url":"https:\/\/lingeriehut.co.uk\/products\/schoolgirl-costume-with-lace-up-crop-top-cheeky-confidence","provider":"Lingerie Hut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
