{"product_id":"schoolgirl-costume-with-zip-front-bustier-cheeky-confidence","title":"Schoolgirl Costume with Zip Front Bustier - Cheeky Confidence","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAt-a-Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStructured. Cheeky. Confident. The lace bralette peeks out beneath a zip-front vinyl bustier while the pleated plaid skirt swings loose the moment you move, and the whole set reads as far more deliberate than a plain two-piece ever could. This schoolgirl costume mixes soft lace, structured vinyl, and genuine movement in one look. Lace bralette base layer - a soft, scalloped-edge triangle bra underneath Zip-front vinyl bustier harness - a structured overlay with a functional centre zip Pleated plaid mini skirt - a fully pleated, above-the-knee silhouette Adjustable halter straps - set the bustier's fit and coverage to suit you High-waist skirt fit - sits above the natural waistline for a longer leg line Layered construction - lace and vinyl worn together for genuine visual depth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Belongs in Your Wardrobe\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou don't need a costume built from one single fabric, you need contrast that actually holds together as an outfit. The lace underneath and the structured vinyl bustier over the top do exactly that, giving you softness and structure in the same look. It's built for a themed night, a private evening, or any moment you want a costume with more construction than a plain crop top and skirt. Layering pieces this way is what makes a costume feel designed rather than assembled from spare parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026amp;amp; Benefits Functional centre zip: the bustier opens and closes with a real zip rather than a decorative one. Scalloped lace bralette: softens the structured vinyl layered over the top. Fully pleated skirt: each pleat is stitched down for a crisp, consistent finish. Not the stiff kind of vinyl - the bustier moves with your body rather than holding a rigid shape. High-waist construction: sits above the hip bone for a longer, cleaner leg line. Adjustable halter fit: customise the bustier's height and coverage to your frame. Fit \u0026amp;amp; Comfort The bralette has stretch through the lace for a close, comfortable base layer, and the bustier's adjustable straps let you set the fit through the torso. The skirt sits high on the waist with an elastic band for adjustable comfort, and the pleats swing freely as you move without restriction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyle Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLayering a structured vinyl piece over soft lace is a direct extension of the mixed-material trend that's been running through both streetwear and lingerie design, hardware-inspired pieces reworked with delicate fabric underneath. The plaid pleated skirt keeps one foot in the ongoing schoolgirl revival, while the zip-front bustier pulls the whole look toward something closer to structured, current boudoir styling. Combining those two references is exactly what keeps a themed set from reading as one flat costume idea. Fabric \u0026amp;amp; Care The bralette is a soft stretch lace, the bustier is a smooth vinyl-look fabric, and the skirt is a woven plaid with stitched pleats. Hand wash the lace and skirt cold and lay flat to dry, and wipe the bustier clean with a damp cloth. 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, leave the bustier zip partially undone to show the lace layer beneath. A soft robe keeps you comfortable while you finish getting ready. The smart move is adjusting the halter straps before zipping the bustier, it changes how the whole set sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Shoppers Notice Most\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis costume gets praise for how well the lace layer shows through the zip front, and customers mention the pleats hold their shape better than expected. Buyers appreciate that the bustier is genuinely structured rather than a soft, floppy overlay, and it's frequently noted as more detailed than similar two-piece costumes at this price point. The functional zip is mentioned often as a small but meaningful upgrade over decorative fastenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Questions Answered\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ: What size should I order? A: This runs to standard costume sizing, with adjustable straps on the bustier for extra flexibility. Q: Is the lace bralette attached to the bustier? A: No, the bralette is a separate base layer worn underneath the vinyl bustier. Q: Does the skirt have stretch? A: The waistband has elastic give, while the pleated panels themselves are fixed woven fabric. Q: How does the zip front work? A: It's a functional centre zip that opens and closes fully, letting you adjust how much of the lace shows. Q: What occasions does this suit? A: Themed parties, roleplay nights, and private evenings suited to a structured, playful costume. Q: Can the pieces be worn separately? A: Yes, the bralette, bustier, and skirt each work well on their own with other pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFinal Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a costume built on real layering rather than a single flat idea. Add it to your basket and let the lace, the zip, and the pleats do the styling for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lingerie Hut","offers":[{"title":"01 \/ One Size","offer_id":57253112512892,"sku":"1005012507853013-01-One Size","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/4729\/5786\/files\/lingeriehut-schoolgirl-costume-zip-front-bustier-cheeky-confidence-635.webp?v=1785949917","url":"https:\/\/lingeriehut.co.uk\/products\/schoolgirl-costume-with-zip-front-bustier-cheeky-confidence","provider":"Lingerie Hut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
