Title: Not disappointed!
Date: Oct 04, 2009
My only complaint about this costume is the colour. Here on the site it looks navy, right? But then on the actual costume packaging it looks black, and when you put it on... it's a deep, emerald green. But I'm by no means DISAPPOINTED in the costume, just a little surprised!
Overall the price for the costume is pretty incredible, considering it comes the skirt, the sheer blouse, the blouse that goes on top of that, the hat, the sleeve cuffs, and the choker. Awesome deal. And it's of pretty darn good quality.
I'm 5'8" and weigh around 125 lbs, I consider myself rather lithe. Since the costume is a standard size, it didn't fit as well as I would have liked... yet it didn't fit as badly as I thought it would, either. The sheer blouse is a little tight, but not uncomfortably so. The blouse that goes on top is not very form fitting, seeing as there's elastic on the back, but I'm planning to attack it with a few safety pins on halloween night to make it look more flattering. I was also not too fond of the fact that a LOT of skin can be seen between the blouse and the skirt, especially in the back. I'm remedying that by wearing a black spaghetti-strap shirt underneath, though, and it has seemed to work in the test-runs.
The choker is a little tight, but hey, what did you expect?! I personally don't find it tight to the point of it being bothersome. The sleeve cuffs are gorgeous, though I may have to safety pin those so they don't go sliding down my arms all night.
But the hat... believe me when I say that the hat really makes the costume. The first time I put on the costume I was slightly disappointed about how it looked. But then I put on the hat, and I swear, it made a complete WORLD of difference. It's beautiful and makes the price of this costume a real bargain. A little hard to put on, though, you'll need some help, but once it's on you're set.
Hopefully I've helped a few folks here. I know that the lack of reviews on this costume nearly deterred me from buying it... but I'm glad I did!
Happy pirating, mateys.
Happy Halloween :)
