So, I recently dipped my toes into Aliexpress and let me tell you, I'm still figuring out the ropes. I'm a bit hesitant to shell out cash until I get the hang of it.

I stumbled upon this adorable 2-in-1 dress with a floral print and I just had to have it. The price was a major draw - 130 rubles is an absolute steal! I ordered from a seller with no reviews, but I took the risk since the price was so low. If I had any doubts, I'd leave it for myself to try out at home.

The shipping was surprisingly speedy, taking only 2 weeks to arrive in Podmoskovye. It came in a standard thin package.

When I opened the package, I was a bit underwhelmed. The dress looked more like a random piece of fabric rather than a finished product. But, after measuring it out, I changed my mind.

The fabric is 100% synthetic. It feels great against my skin - it's thin, yet not see-through. Perfect for the summer, as it doesn't make me sweat or feel overheated. There are elastic ribbons attached to the top and bottom of the dress, which helps it hug my body in all the right places.

Here's the thing: the print is vibrant, clear, and looks just like the seller's photos. It's a pretty sweet deal for the price. The best part is that the dress is adjustable, so I can wear it as a flowy dress or a mini skirt. It's a total game-changer for me!

I ordered a free size, which fits me like a charm. It's a size 44-48, and it stretches nicely. I'm a 65-90 (bust-waist-hem), and it fits me well, except for the fact that it's a bit loose around the waist. I'd love it if it had a bit more compression.

After wearing it a few times, it has stretched out a bit, but it comes back to its original shape after washing. It doesn't run or fade, either.

So, what can I pair it with? I think it looks great with a lightweight, long-sleeved blouse - perfect for a casual, summery outfit. I'm loving the lightweight blouses this summer. They're perfect for the heat. I'm also into the simple knit tops. The combo of the flowy skirt and a plain top is just right - not too overpowering. Here's the thing, I was surprised by how versatile the skirt is. I even tried wearing it as a top with some shorts, and it's a great beachy vibe. Honestly, it's a great piece to have in your wardrobe. Bottom line is, it's a fantastic value for the price you pay. You get two pieces in one - the skirt and the top. It's not going to be a showstopper, but it's perfect for casual outings. Check out the link below for more info.
