Skeptical at first, but Great Purchase

Oct 28, 2011

First, shipping was ridiculously fast. This is the first year I bought my costume online rather than in a store, and I'm really glad I did. I was skeptical at first because there are no pictures of an actual person in the costume (other than the one posted in another review), so I had no idea what to expect. I'm about 5'4" and 115 and decided to get a medium cause my weight is mostly in my lower half. The medium top was pretty big on me, but the shorts fit perfectly. I have that problem everywhere though, so that wasn't a surprise. It's easy enough to tie the top back so it looks like it fits since it comes with a backpack that hides the back of the shirt. It's made entirely of spandex and shows a good portion of your stomach (probably more than is depicted in the cartoon above). But it's really cute if you have the confidence to rock it. Also, if you want accessories for it, I would recommend buying the fake guns for the holster that go with it. I went to several different stores looking for fake guns that would fit and wished I had just ordered them with the costume. I found some eventually, but it was a hassle. Overall, great costume. I'm really impressed. I'll be wearing this another year for sure.

Great costume

Oct 17, 2011

I hosted my movie themed fancy dress birthday party at home and being 6 months pregnant had trouble finding a costume. When i found this one i thought i'd give it a go - the shorts and top are a lycra stretch material and REALLLLLLYYYY short, which i was expecting so i bought black shorts and a black tank top and just used all the accessories (holster, boot covers, gloves and backpack) and went to a hairdresser to put my hair in a french braid - i got sooo many wonderful comments about how authentic it looked. Only thing is i didn't realise that the outfit didn't come with the pistols (which i didn't realise you could buy separately from buycostumes.com for something like $12 a pair) but by that time i couldn't order them separately coz it wouldn't have arrived in time so i went hunting around some discount shops and found the exact ones for $2 each! Boot covers are a bit on the big side, i had to wear socks then leg warmers then boots THEN the covers just to keep them from sliding down. The accessories are great quality and i would definitely use it again. A little bit pricey but i think it was worth it.

It's not too bad

Sep 20, 2011

The only problem I had with this costume was that the bottoms were a little tight. They reminded me of the spankies we used to wear for cheerleading! And the top is pretty short. It shows a lot of stomach. I decided to just buy new shorts to go with mine, but everything else, like the gun belt, backpack, etc are just fine. It is a great costume all together if you like it tight and skimpy! :)

Got awesome comments!

Dec 14, 2010

Having this shipped to Australia I must admit I was a bit skeptical. After reading previous reviews and checking the size chart I chose to order the medium. I am 6ft 1 and was a great fit. The shorts however were more like boyleg bikini bottoms and I decided to opt for a different pair I purchased locally. The advice to get the next size up if unsure, I found very helpful. All up I had a fantastic night, had heaps of compliments and loved this costume. The gun holsters, gloves backpack and boot covers even made the outfit. Definitely loving this site :)

The top is very short - perfect for someone with great abs! (Not me!) Shorts fit well, when they say small, they mean it. Boot covers had to be altered slightly, no biggie. Comes with gloves and holster, thats the hottest part of the outfit!
