I didn't expect this set and wasn't sure what to think of it when I first saw it, but it looked insanely comfy, casual and perfect for summer. Turns out, it kind of blew my mind and I ended up buying it again in another color. Sucks that the Rouge color was already out of stock!
This set is extremely comfortable, even though it has a built it bra. The bra fits me perfectly and doesn't take away from the comfort (though I do wish the pads weren't removable). I was a bit worried about the shorts and the top being sold together since you cannot choose a different size if needed, but the shorts are very stretchy and loose, so I had zero issue with any size difference between the top and bottom. I think it fits true to size, maybe slightly big around the chest and shoulders, but overall it's still true to size in my opinion. The fabric is comfortable and stretchy. I actually wore the top with leggings the other day and it worked really well, so I like that these pieces can also be worn separately. I think the cut is very flattering (love the neckline) and the design overall is very unique and casual, but it also looks pretty good and I feel like it can easily be dressed up or down. With accessories, it can actually look really good. Love how versatile and practical this set it.
The reason I'm not giving this set 5 stars (even though I'm obsessed with it) is because I have a couple of minor issues with it, and most of them are quality related.
First of all I'm not sure about the overall quality of the fabric and garment. After a couple of wears (maybe like 5), the fabric is already snagged in one area, and I didn't get it stuck in anything... it makes me scared it won't hold up overtime. Not only that, but the way the shorts' pleads are sewn looks very rushed and cheap... I'm not sure if it was supposed to look like that? Obviously, if you wear the set together, the plead's seams are not visible, but if you wanted to wear the shorts alone, it looks quite cheap, I'll be honest. It's way worse on my Digital Lavender pair, so I don't know if I just got unlucky, but even on my other pair, it's still not great. The seam is just very uneven and doesn't look well made, sadly. The bra also looks pretty cheap and is very see-through. Again, it's not a bit deal since it's not visible, but it just makes me think some corners have been cut quality wise... Other issues I have with this set are:
- Since this set is very loose on purpose so it's comfy, the waistband isn't strong, which means that just putting my phone in the pockets brings the whole shorts down on one side. The shorts just aren't strong enough to hold a phone well. It's a bit annoying. But it's probably needed for comfort - at least it has pockets.
- The shoulders don't stay up well. They tend to want to fall, which means you couldn't wear this to do ANYTHING, cause you could expose people. It won't happen if you're just walking around, but I just wish the top would hold better on the shoulders. I know this isn't active wear, but the other day I worked out a little bit at home, and the shoulders were constantly falling down. Just something to consider.
- Finally, I feel like the shoulder seem is very bulky and doesn't look great, it creates a weird, unflattering shape on your shoulders. By adjusting the top, it's not too noticeable, but I feel like this is getting worse (more noticeable) the more I wash this set...
Overall I would recommend this set, although I think the quality is a bit lackluster, which is a bummer. It's extemely comfortable, practical and it just looks very cute and unique. I'm living in my 2 sets this summer! I just hope they will hold up...
