Title: Beautiful Dress, but Expensive!
Date: Nov 07, 2009
I wore this for a Halloween party this year and got a lot of compliments on it. I'm 5'8 and a size 10/12 in misses or a 13 in juniors, and the size large costume was mostly true to size -- a lot more so than any other Halloween costume I've ever bought! The lower back/hips section was a bit too roomy (lots of extra material in the back in this area), and the waist portion was a little snug, but overall it was a great fit. I wear a 36D, and the chest area was perfectly my size. My only complaints are the high price, the extra four or five inches of material that my mom had to take off the bottom of the dress (and I'm not a short girl!), and the itchiness of the sleeves. I had to wear it off my shoulders so that the seams in the sleeves wouldn't itch me. Also, as other reviewers have indicated, the crown is indeed low quality; I purchased a different one online from a department store for 19.99 that is a whole lot cuter. Overall, the quality of the dress is excellent, but it's still pretty expensive for what you get. If you plan on wearing it more than once, then it's probably worth buying. On the other hand, if it's a one night only costume, you may be better off going with something that is a little easier on the wallet.

Title: Absolutely Beautiful!
Date: Oct 22, 2009
I absolutely love this costume! I wanted it since I saw it on BuyCostumes last year. Great quality and looks exactly like the picture. My only issues are the fit and cheap sequin crown. I'm 5'5 175lbs, a 40DD and the bust area is too big. I ordered an XL and should have gone down a size. Instead of messing around with returning it and buying a smaller size I'm having a friend help me alter it. I also bought the "glass slippers" suggested and with the hoop and heels it the perfect length. Thank you BuyCostumes!
