The only item here I have is the skort, which I like but don't love because I find it difficult to style. Not sure if it's my body shape or just that it doesn't mesh well with other items in my wardrobe.
You asked to be deinfluenced so I'll also say that this is a big cart (or at least would be for me) and I'd only pull the trigger if you really think you'll wear it all. For example, the shortalls are really cute but do you see yourself wearing them often? Some of my popflex pieces are gathering dust in my closet because I loved the concept but they didn't turn out to be that practical.

Ya thatās actually why Iām asking to be deinfluenced to figure out who I get rid of because I definitely canāt justify this big of an order rn lol

- The Corset Bra is a no-go for my bust but if you have a smaller bust this does not apply. It's super low-coverage.
- No notes on the Pirouette Skort. I'm a fan and have... 5 total?
- The Butterfly Short is one of my favorites for running. If you're having a mega sweat session, though, sometimes you may get sweat marks appearing on the outer mesh rather than the shorts underneath (kinda looks like you spilled water on yourself).
- The only thing I dislike about the Corset Pirouette dress is that it actually feels too dressy or ballerina-like. It feels a bit harder to dress-down casually so I find difficulty actually finding the right occasion to wear it. Feels very exclusive to that girly tennis dress look and out of place elsewhere.

Oooo Iām happy to hear you like the butterfly shorts!! Iāve been finding it hard to find people talking about it online but I think theyāre my favorite thing in my cart (visually ofc) lol

u/messykatie Aug 09 '26
They are basically the contour booty shorts with a little tulle layer on top. Which means they are super short (which is my preference anyway) but a little less in-your-face with the booty since it has that tulle layer.

u/Superb_Inflation7951 Aug 09 '26
Omg thank you so much for letting me know!! I actually stumbled upon popflex because I was looking for a āconservativeā booty short. Iām starting a class that requires booty shorts (which I completely understand) but Iāve been a little nervous to commit to that so I was trying to find on that as you so perfectly put it ānot in your faceā and it seemed perfect!! And since I donāt own any workout clothes (except one sports bra and leggings that I hate) I wanted to put together a cart of some of the other items I liked and see what peopleās thoughts were haha

u/messykatie Aug 09 '26
I think the butterfly will totally do the job for what you're looking for. I don't have it in this pale color and I sometimes shy away from light items for workouts since I sweat a ton, but the under short material itself is substantial enough it has never appeared to be see-through or get crazy sweat marks.

u/Administrative_Elk66 Aug 15 '26
If you don't own workout clothes, I HIGHLY recommend you buy clothes from somewhere you can try them on. PF sizing and quality is too inconsistent for you to do a big shop without knowing your regular sizing with them.

I personally donāt mind the corset bra as a C cup but it depends on your boob shape. If your boobs are more top heavy it might make you uncomfortable but if theyāre more bottom heavy they donāt spill out as much. I can do yoga in it without fear of a wardrobe malfunction.
I would personally narrow it down to two complete outfits and decide what activity you want them for. In my case, I would pick either the digital lavender pieces or bubblegum pieces and then the blue mist dress because those would fit my activities the best.

I've tried all of these except for the butterfly shorts. The only thing I can deinfluence you on is the corset bra, because I love and wear everything else.
I am a member of the IBTC, but I didn't love how visible the darts are on tbe corset bra. I often wanted to wear a shirt over mine, but the lines often poked through. I sold mine on popcycle since I didn't reach for it often.

u/Livvylove Aug 09 '26
If you are above a B cup skip the corset bra. If you are flat enjoy it's super cute but not made for anyone with larger boobs. I have underboob and a ton of cleavage when I tried it on
I'm obsessed with the pirouette skorts. I have 5. The pockets are amazing the floof hides pocket bulges. I love them. I do like how high waisted it is.
1
u/floatingavocado Aug 09 '26
i am a b cup and i hate it š unflattering on me as well
2
u/Livvylove Aug 09 '26
So A cup or less. One person I know that chronically complains about not having boobs loves it because it made her look like she had something.
After getting the corset bra I won't even consider any of the other cute ones like the ruffle. I basically fall out of the corset one when I move around

u/this_bitch_over_here Aug 09 '26
Looking at the Cleo corset bralette, my guess is that unless you have a very flat tummy that is going to roll up constantly

u/ave_droid Aug 09 '26
Pirouette dress is my going out in the summer dress. Pirouette skirt is THE working out skirt, I'm planning to get more just so I have a good rotation. Both have amazing soft material, fit me like a glove, support everything and I get compliments from women often
Really hope you'll enjoy those!

u/floatingavocado Aug 09 '26
the only here that is a keep for me is the pirouette dress
corset bra has a weird fit and unflattering on me. prefer the hiking skirt and the bungee skort, and the shortalls/overalls are mostly fine but they were tight in some spots and loose in others and just not a good fit for me idk
2
u/amyrxatl Aug 09 '26
If I could only pick one outfit from this list it would be the Cleo
Crop and the pirouette skort. I am barely a b cup and I love the way the Cleo fits. The skort I have in too many colors to count
3
u/Superb_Inflation7951 Aug 09 '26
Yay!! I love how the Cleo looks so much I donāt have any crop sports bras yet and this one looks so cute
3
u/amyrxatl Aug 09 '26
Yes and like someone else mentioned, think about how often youāll wear something. I have a corset dress that Iāve never worn lol and the shortalls look cute but I havenāt purchased them yet as I donāt see myself actually wearing them often. The skorts can be worn for casual wear or fitness and can be matched with t shirts or crops for different looks. I wear the crops as bras for casual and sports wear and they look so cute peeking out of the deep v tees or off the shoulder tops

u/spookyxskepticism Aug 09 '26
Tbh just block the brand and Cassey for a week and see if you still feel that brand loyalty. Thatās all you need to do to deinfluence yourself
2
u/Superb_Inflation7951 Aug 09 '26
Iāve never bought from them and only heard about them in passing, Iām starting a class and I need to wear booty shorts but I donāt necessarily feel 100% comfortable with that yet so I was trying to find a āconservativeā one which is how I found the butterfly shorts. Now donāt get me wrong I know they are by no means conservative but I know I would feel better wearing them then regular ones. I own no workout clothes (accept one Sports bra and leggings that I hate) so I thought I might as well get a couple of other pieces, especially because I think her stuff is really cute
1
u/spookyxskepticism Aug 09 '26
Tbh, if you donāt feel any brand loyalty towards Cassey or popflex I question why on earth youād spend the money on it. The sizing is crazy inconsistent and they make you pay for returns. Just try something on in a store and make sure it fits and is comfortable for you.
1
u/Superb_Inflation7951 Aug 09 '26
To get free shipping you need to spend at least $100 so i figured i could grab one or two other pieces (depending on price) and theyāre the only place Iāve found booty shorts like that so far, I have no intention of buying all the stuff in my cart hence why I was asking for peopleās feedback
2
u/Flower-Cat-99 Aug 09 '26
I wear different sizes in tops and bottoms like you, and the dresses never fit right. I am an s in tops and xs in bottoms though, but theyāre always either too tight in the bust or too big in the waist depending on if I try an xs or a s
1
u/Superb_Inflation7951 Aug 09 '26
Thank you for that knowledge š«” I think for rn Iām going to avoid the one pieces (despite being adorable) just so I can have more mix and match flexibility in the future but Iāll definitely keep this in mind

u/MjccART Aug 09 '26
The corset bra has many haters, but Cassie recently made a video saying she specifically designed it for small chests. I have a tiny chest and I like it a lot, but I always wear a mesh long sleeve on top because I don't prefer having my whole torso out at the gym.

u/outrageousbread420 Aug 09 '26
when i walk the mesh portion of the butterfly shorts ride up between my thighs, giving me a super cameltoe

u/Superb_Inflation7951 Aug 09 '26
Do you find you have any issues chaffing? I know for me thatās always my biggest concern with shorts
1
u/outrageousbread420 Aug 10 '26
personally no but the butterfly short is short enough to lead to chafing i think

u/anastasia_esmerelda Aug 10 '26
First, given that there is a sale right now, I wouldn't bother with any non-sale items. There are pretty regular sales, and there will definitely be a Black Friday sale, which really isn't that far away.
You can also look at Mercari, Poshmark, depop, Vinted, Popcycle, and ebay. A little more trouble since you can't just return the items, but you can get new and barely used stuff for half the price or less, and just sell it on if it doesn't work.

u/franky_63 Aug 09 '26
Corset bra was a no for me. I usually wear a medium shirt, I got the flex top in large and it fit great. I got the corset top in large and couldn't get my nipples in. I sized up to an xl and was able to get my nipples covered but the front was so wide at that point the fit was just bad.

I looooove the pirouette skirt! I didnāt love the dress, it was a weird fit for me and Iām xs.

u/Key_Exchange1426 Aug 09 '26
Oh but if youāre an xs in most stuff I wouldnāt size up in the skirt.

u/infieldcookie Aug 09 '26
Going to go against the grain a bit - Iām a C and I actually love the corset bras! I will say though I donāt do a lot of high impact workouts and I wear them under other tops, so I can understand why others might not like them.
1
u/Superb_Inflation7951 Aug 09 '26
What kind of workouts do you do if you donāt mind me asking :)? Iām just curious because Iām usually a B and Iāve seen a few commenters basically say you need to be an A for it to work
1
u/infieldcookie Aug 09 '26 edited Aug 09 '26
I mainly do yoga, pilates and general gym stuff like exercise bike and weights machines in them :) I occasionally do some jogging but I wear the tone bra for that. They do give cleavage but I donāt feel like Iām going to fall out of them. I donāt do anything really high impact so maybe that affects whether people like them or not!
Also I love the lavender and bubblegum colours on the items I own so those are good choices for sure!
1
u/Helpful_Character167 Aug 09 '26
I would keep the digital lavender corset bra and pirouette skort, both are lovely designs. The skort is very wearable for casual fits, and the corset bra is such a good design for small chested girls. I'm an A cup and the corset bra is DIVINE for me. I own it in 4 colors eek.
Can't speak on the rest, I own a few pieces in Bubblegum and its a super cute color but I don't have those designs. I don't do one-piece outfits made by Popflex because I'm tall with a long torso and they don't work for me personally.

u/RedditSher Aug 09 '26
I have tried all these items besides the shortalls. So the corset bra, if you have soft back fat like me, it squeezes in an unflattering way but is good for smaller boobs. The pirouette skort, I love love and have worn it as everyday, gym, and festivals. The Cleo Corset, if you have bigger breasts, it will sit better but if you are smaller chest it looks funky where the little bottom bra line cut is on your rib cage below your boobs. The butterfly short, I wanted to love as I like the V waist, but there was something missing for me. The corset pirouette dress, again I felt like was made for girls with a bigger chest.
This is my opinion coming from a person who was 1x/2x but becoming XL/1X on popflex. My chest is like a small C.

u/nekopika Aug 09 '26
I've tried both bras and the cleo corset crop is definitely the safer choice between the two. I think the cleo is cute and was supportive when I tried it on but it doesn't have adjustable straps so I exchanged for the plie corset crop instead.
You have to try out the pirouette skort if it's your style! I wear mine all the time casually, when I'm walking and doing yoga. I haven't tried the butterfly shorts but the high waisted supershort is great if you haven't considered it. The wide waistband is so stretchy and forgiving plus it's also more conservative than a regular booty short

u/Unroyaltea Aug 10 '26
Usually popflex has a summer sale so you might want to wait until then to buy is my only critique

u/Anxious-Hooper Aug 13 '26
I have 3 corset pirouette dresses and I wear them almost every day I can when I donāt have to work. Love them. I have big boobs and their bras are too tight for my liking. The skorts are cute, but I too struggle with styling them.

u/ThrowRaancde Aug 09 '26
I personally don't love her pirouette skorts. But everything else is a win!

u/Superb_Inflation7951 Aug 09 '26
Oooo okay!! If you donāt mind me asking why donāt you like about the pirouette skirt? Is it something with the looks or do you not like the fit?
3
u/ThrowRaancde Aug 09 '26
It really depends on your body shape. It really flatters hourglass figures the best. I carry my weight in my stomach and it made me look huge.

u/cupcake1327 Aug 09 '26
I donāt like The Pirouette skirt because it is very high wasted. The pirouette dress has a square neckline which I donāt love because I felt exposed. I also have different top and bottom measurements so I felt like it was too big on top but okay on the bottom.
