Lace by LJ Rainbow Crop Top and Skirt Set Review
Editor's opinion
This is a matching mesh crop top and mini skirt built for making a statement at concerts, parties and bold nights out rather than for subtle coverage. The stretch fabric and off-the-shoulder styling suit anyone in the UK 6-12 range who wants something playful, but the open-net weave is genuinely sheer, so buyers should plan what goes underneath.
The Lace by LJ Rainbow Crop Top and Skirt Set is a coordinated two-piece aimed squarely at the festival and party crowd. It pairs a long-sleeved, off-the-shoulder crop top with a matching mini skirt, both cut from a vibrant rainbow open-net mesh that is designed to be seen rather than to conceal.
What a buyer really needs to weigh here is the nature of that mesh and the one-size fit. This is not a piece of everyday lingerie so much as a loud, layerable outfit, and how you wear it and what you wear beneath it will make or break the look.
The good and the bad
What works
- Coordinated set, so no guesswork matching separates
- Stretchy nylon and spandex blend adapts across UK 6-12
- Bold rainbow mesh built to stand out at festivals and parties
- Off-the-shoulder neckline and long sleeves give a balanced silhouette
- Layerable over a base outfit for different effects
What to be aware of
- Open-net mesh is genuinely sheer, so underlayers are usually needed
- One size fits 6-12, so fit will vary at the ends of that range
- Hand wash only with no ironing or tumble drying
- Delicate weave that needs careful handling to last
Buy it if
Festival-goers, party-goers and anyone who wants a loud, playful statement piece in the UK 6-12 range and is happy to plan what to wear underneath the mesh.
Skip it if
Anyone after subtle, everyday lingerie or reliable coverage, or shoppers outside the 6-12 band who need a guaranteed tailored fit. If you want opacity, look for a solid-fabric set rather than open-net mesh.
Design and materials
The set combines a long-sleeved crop top with a matching mini skirt in a single rainbow design, which takes the effort out of coordinating pieces. The off-the-shoulder neckline shifts attention to the collarbone and shoulders, while the long sleeves add a little balance so the overall look is not all skin on top and bare on the bottom.
The fabric is a 95% nylon, 5% spandex open-net mesh. The spandex gives it stretch and helps it sit close to the body, but the key point is the open weave: this is designed to give a glimpse of what lies beneath, so treat it as sheer by default rather than something that covers.
How it is meant to be worn
This reads as a statement outfit for high-energy occasions such as concerts, beach parties and bold nights out, and the brand pitches it that way. Because the mesh is see-through, most buyers will want to layer it over a base, a bikini, or coordinating underwear rather than wearing it alone.
That layering is actually part of the appeal. Worn over different bases you can change the effect entirely, which makes it more versatile than its loud first impression suggests.
Sizing and fit
It is sold as one size to fit UK 6-12, relying on the stretch of the fabric to span that range. In practice, one-size stretch garments tend to sit best somewhere in the middle of the band; those at the very bottom may find it looser and those at the top may find it clings more firmly. Neither is a fault so much as the nature of one-size design, but it is worth knowing before you buy for a specific fit.
Care and longevity
The care instructions are strict: hand wash only, lay flat to dry, and no ironing, tumble drying or bleach. That is standard for a delicate nylon and spandex mesh, where heat and harsh chemicals can distort the weave and dull the colour.
The practical upshot is that this needs a little looking after. If you want something you can throw in the machine after every wear, this is not it, but gentle hand washing should keep the rainbow colour vivid and the netting intact.
The bottom line
As a bold, festival-friendly two-piece the Rainbow Crop Top and Skirt Set delivers exactly what it promises: colour, stretch and a look that turns heads. Buy it if you want a playful statement outfit and you are comfortable layering the sheer mesh and hand washing it; look elsewhere if you need coverage, an exact fit, or low-maintenance care.
Frequently asked questions
Is the mesh see-through?
Yes. It is an open-net mesh designed to give a glimpse of what sits beneath, so it should be treated as sheer. Most buyers will want to wear a base layer, bikini or coordinating underwear underneath.
Will it fit me?
It is a one-size set intended to fit UK 6-12, using the stretch in the fabric to adapt. It tends to sit best around the middle of that range, so those at the very top or bottom may find the fit looser or more clingy than average.
How do I wash it?
Hand wash only and lay flat to dry. Do not iron, tumble dry or bleach it, as heat and harsh chemicals can damage the delicate nylon and spandex weave and dull the colour.
Can I wear it as a full outfit on its own?
You can, but because the mesh is sheer many people layer it over a base outfit or swimwear for concerts and parties. It works either as a statement piece in its own right or as a layer over something else.
Does it need batteries or charging?
No. This is a garment set with no electronic components, so there is nothing to charge or power.
