It was soo much fun to wear it!!

Nov 01 2012

After reading the reviews I decided to buy a size smaller than I usually do. I'm 5'7" and 150 lbs and I got a medium. The bottom was perfect, the top was still big but was able to fix it. I new from reviews that the material is itchy so I had a few shots beforehand, and problem was solved....I didn't feel a thing. :) It was super fun t wear it, I got the seaweed boa to go with it, can't imagine the outfit without that, it was the icing on the cake. Got a red wig too and got lots of complements on my outfit. Was able to dance in it, but after 4 hours I was ready too to take it off, the sequences really start to irritate the skin. But just for a few hours of fun it was perfect!

Cute, but not true to size

Nov 01 2012

I had to return this one. I ordered a Small because the size chart said for size 6-8, 125 lbs, 36" chest. I wear a size 6, and the measurements match mine. The top was too small. It barely covered the essentials, and the sequins really itch around the neck. The bottoms were a little small, too. It may be perfectly adorable in a bigger size, so maybe I'll try again next year. Still, I love shopping on BuyCostumes. I did have a backup I bought from them was was awesome.

Great Mermaid Costume

Oct 25 2012

I bought this because I was looking for a mermaid skirt only. The top didn't fit me properly anyway; it wasn't too big, even though I am not large chested like other reviewers have said. The skirt was true to size and fit nicely and went well with the painted sea shell top I made. It was a really cute costume and comfortable to wear. Like most costumes it isn't the greatest quality - I lost a couple sequins but no loose threads and I plan to wear it for a couple parties this year.

Good skirt / terrible top

Oct 21 2012

I am 5'8", weight 130lbs, wear size 4 or small and 34DD bust. I ordered the small size. The skirt fits perfectly around, but I will not be able to wear heals with it as it just barely reaches the ground for my hight with bare feet. The skirt is very itchy, so I am wearing nude spandex underneath. Trying to put some wire in the bottom to give it flare. As for the top, it hardly covers me and offers no support, would not be caught dead in this in public. I will be wearing a white bikini top with mine. I really don't want the Arial look anyway. The purchase was still worth it for the skirt (tail) alone.

Sassy Ariel

Jan 04 2012

This is great for the mermaid tail only, unless you are at least a DD cup or some other very large bust size. Besides, if you want the Ariel look like I did, opt for a bikini top. I thought the top was so large on me, and did not like the style, especially since I wanted an Ariel costume, so I am giving it to my 32DDD/E friend. If it does not fit her, I will be astounded. The tail is good for taller people... I am 5 2 3/4" and I either need to pull the tail up high or wear clear heels to wear the tail. It is hard to get on with the tight elastic, but once on, fits well. After all, you wouldn't want it to slide off. My costume is a size Small. I have a 32C bust and 36 inch hips.

amazing!

Oct 30 2011

I wasn't going to buy this because I didn't think it looked that great in the picture. However, all the other mermaid tails I found online were too expensive. I ordered this one and I'm so happy I did! It's greener in person than it looks online. It's very shimmery and eye-catching, and I honestly got compliments on it all night. I'm a size 6 in jeans and ordered a medium, and it fit perfectly. I'm also 5'3" and as long as you pull it up a little it isn't too long. I didn't wear the purple top; I opted for a white bikini top instead. Yes, the skirt isn't extremely good quality and is a little itchy on your bare skin, but it's not too bad and it didn't fall apart or anything like that. Definitely buy the seaweed boa, just trust me, it totally makes the whole costume. I loved this outfit so much!!

sizing all wrong

Oct 28 2011

I look like the Little Mermaid so this year I thought dressing up like one would make my friends laugh. Instead I was laughing at the wonky sizes of this costume. So I'm a size 2 in pants. I followed size chart and the small was too small. No stretch so couldn't get the skirt over my butt. But the top was HUGE! I'm a 32DD and the small top swam on me. Who the heck would fit this? Not even Barbie has those measurements. Return-which went smoothly.

Small Problem

Oct 09 2011

The top of the costume was much larger and a little different looking than the picture. I would suggest clicking on the alternative pictures provided, because it's a different model wearing the actual thing. I am a size 34B and I have to wear a swimsuit top underneath since it reveals the girls pretty obviously. However, I am not going to return this product, because I am only wearing it for one night. Overall the bottom fits me fine (I am 5'4, 125 lbs), the quality is good for a costume, price is reasonable, and it's really sexy!

Not bad,weird fit though

Aug 22 2011

I wanted a mermaid costume for the mermaid parade. I normally wear size small in costumes, so i got a small... the top was too big and itchy so i tossed it out and wore my purple one piece swimsuit instead. The skirt was tight but it was stretchy so i was able to put it a little lower.I added a wig. Unfortunately I didnt go to the parade so I didnt get to show it off this year but I added the picture of when i tried it on for references.
