She's the kind of set that makes a whole afternoon feel romantic — picking flowers at the market, a long lunch in the shade, a slow walk down a sun-warmed street.

A delicate ditsy floral, scattered with little roses across soft cream, is finished with pretty scalloped lace and openwork eyelet — the details that make a stranger lean in to look closer.

The V-neck vest nips in at the waist; the easy shorts have just the right amount of give; and the two together feel like one effortless, gathered-from-the-garden look. The fabric holds its pretty shape, keeps its soft colors vivid wash after wash, and packs without a wrinkle, so she's ready the moment you pull her from your bag.

Lovely layered over a little cami, with a straw basket and pearls for the market — or split the two and wear the vest with white jeans, the shorts with a plain tee. The kind of set you reach for when you want to feel pretty, romantic, and somewhere lovely.

100% polyester · two-piece set: a sleeveless V-neck vest top with scalloped lace trim and openwork eyelet detailing + matching elastic-waist shorts with a lace-trim hem, in a ditsy floral print (the print is printed and the lace and eyelet are machine-made — beautifully, but not hand-crocheted or hand-embroidered) · semi-fitted vest with a low V (size up if you're fuller through the bust; petals help if you're smaller); woven, non-stretch shorts that can run a touch slim in the thigh — size accordingly · the eyelet and cream voile are a little sheer — wear the vest over a seamless cami · shorts are short (mid-to-upper thigh)· in Cottage Rose · machine wash cold on gentle or hand wash, lay flat or hang to dry, cool iron if needed
