Cute but....

Oct 27, 2010

The costume is cute and well made but it just didn't work for me. The dress comes in three pieces - the top, the skirt, and the bustle that you just tie around your waist. I'm 5'10 with a really long torso which made the costume difficult. The top piece is not very long so when I first put it on there was a 3 inch gap of exposed skin between it and the skirt. When I adjusted the skirt I had to hike it up so high to cover the gap that the bottom fell about half way between my knees and ankles which looked kind of ridiculous. So I ended up having to return it. If it had fit better, I would have kept it. The material and colors are really nice. The bustle looks kind of awkward sitting on the outside of the skirt, in my opinion, but the awkwardness could have come from the whole not fitting right issue. Overall, I would definitely recommend the costume to someone as long as they are not really tall and/or has a long torso.

Quality and Fun!

Nov 04, 2009

I love this costume!!! My boyrfriend and I were looking to go as Mr Hyde and Lucy, the harlot from the Broadway version of Jekyll & Hyde and this costume was the perfect look for it! I got compliments all evening! Although the description says it fits women sizes 10-12, and I feared it would be too big for me (I'm a size 4-6), the costume really does adjust quite well to smaller sizes by use of several well-placed ribbon cinches. The corset cinches down from a much larger size and so does the skirt. The bustle ties around you underneath the skirt and is a separate piece. The bonnet is well-made and adorable! I recommend buying a wig because it really does complete the look! There are also nice details such as well-placed occasional sequins and nice lace trims. The length of the skirt was great- I didn't need to make any alterations and I'm 5'5" and wore it with small heels. The skirt feels smooth to the touch and looks silky and the bodice/corset and sleeves look and feel almost like velvet. I also recommend using a push-up bra to get the desired "look" of the outfit. It really does look and feel like a quality costume and I had no problems with it all day and evening! Have fun wearing this!!! :)

Mrs. Lovett never looked better!

Nov 05, 2008

I ordered this to go as my Mrs. Lovett costume of Sweeney Todd, which to me was even better than that actual costume that is offered here. In fact, this was almost too perfect. I was pleasantly surprised, and very pleased with the delivery and packaging of the costume; came in a very professional manner. I thought the costume itself was in good quality, sewn nicely, and met my expectations for a halloween costume. In fact, I thought the little details were very nice, for example, the border along the top (and the lacing on the back), the perfect headpiece, and the bustle that truely topped it off! It was easy to wear and fit well, and overall a fun costume!
