Title: We were the hit of the party!
Date: Nov 21, 2009
This year we had a Halloween function to go to that lasted 3 nights - so we needed 3 costumes. For the last night, I bought this
Star Trek jumpsuit (and a shirt for my boyfriend). While we got complements for our costumes the first two nights, the third night we were definitely the hit of the party! People smiled every time they saw us and told us what great costumes they were. At least six people asked where we bought them (we told them)!
I am very small and was sure the costume would be too big. But the X-small size fit perfectly (I just had to hem it a little bit). I was also concerned this form fitting jumpsuit might be a little uncomfortable. But we were dancing all night and it was very comfortable. It is also very well-made so I did not have to worry about anything ripping.
I had originally planned to sell this on eBay as a used costume later, as it is a little pricey. But it was so much fun to wear, that it looks like I will be keeping it!

Title: Excellent Choice!
Date: Nov 21, 2009
This was my first time purchasing from this site, and it took me a long time, and a lot of research, to make up my mind. At the time, I was recovering from knee surgery, and transitioning from crutches to a cane. When I saw this costume, it appeared to be an excellent choice: It wasn't cumbersome, so I wouldn't have to worry about tripping or falling; while it is somewhat form-fitting, which was another plus, it still had room, so I didn't need to be concerned about the pant leg rubbing against the incision area; the design and fit of the costume was both flattering and conservative (I could show off my figure without showing- and freezing - much of my skin); and, as an inherent bonus, it's just a fun costume! Everyone, in one way or another, knows about Star Trek. Wearing the blue of a medical or science officer, I could spend the entire night joking around, giving "check-ups" to the little monsters who came trick or treating (and prescribing candy when I found any sign of a "problem"... different for every child you understand...), and enjoying the party! Charades, carving jack-o-lanterns, bobbing for apples, a dance contest, murder in the dark... my costume was far better suited for these things than most of the others! The fit was fantastic, exactly as described in the sizing chart. (I am fairly petite. About 5' 3", and 110 lbs. For anyone larger than the dimensions described in the sizing chart, I would recommend figuring out an alternative. If you have your heart set on this costume, try a small men's shirt, and black pants.) The material was quite nice: not overly thick, but of a far more superior quality than the average costume. And my shipment came in the smallest incriment of time suggested by the shipping range I chose. I highly recomend this costume, as well as this site!
