NICE QUALITY COSTUME

Nov 16 2012

I ordered this costume just a few days before my party, thinking it would arrive on the morning of. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived the day before! The dress is constructed of nice quality material and very comfortable. I normally wear between a size 6 and 8, so I opted for the Medium, which was a good choice. It fit fabulously except for the sleeves, which were too big to wear as intended. So, I wore them upside down instead; the narrow ends fit my upper arms and the wider end flaired out at my wrists, which was totally fine. I didn't need the leg wraps, but saved them for possible future use. Overall, I loved the costume!

Different and Sassy

Nov 08 2012

This costume was a good deal of fun, and very comfortable, and you look pretty stunning in it! You will need to put a little extra effort into it, though. I ran out of time, but the headpiece is a little "poorer" than what the picture shows, so definitely follow other reviewers' adivce and invest in some extra plastic snakes you can pin to your head. The leg straps were useless indeed, unless you can find a creative way to make them stick. The dress is really nice, I got lots of compliments on it, and it's sexy without the trashy effect. The sleeves were nice too, but they fit a little too big and kept slipping down. Nothing a couple of stitches can't fix, but again, you need to put a little work into it. Overall, a great costume, but you do need to put a little extra effort in to pull it all together. Shipping was perfect!

Wow

Nov 07 2012

I have purchased from here before but this costume makes me think twice about purchasing from here again. It doesnt look like what the picture portrays. I got a small because I am a size 5 but this was still so big all over. I tried it on as soon as I got it and from reading the reviews I was careful with the zipper. Then halloween night I was getting ready to go to a party put it on zipped it up 2 inches and the zipper broke off. I didnt have any time to go to the store so I had to hand sow it...WOW wait a pain that was. Then the arm bands were so big had to hem those as well and were pretty cheesy looking. Ended up not even wearing them. I guess on the brighter side it was shipped to me fast..lol.

This costume was wonderful. It was the highlight of the evening. Honestly I bought it just for the head piece because my size was sold out, but this head piece and the costume itself are wonderfully made and look great on.

Very sexy without being too revealing

Nov 01 2012

I won the Overall Best Costume award at my job. The dress is very sexy and fits well. I am 5'4" and 115 lbs. Usually I wear a 2-4. The dress was a little loose, but didn't hang on me. It has some stretch and would also probably fit someone two sizes larger with no problem. I sewed up the arm sleeves so they were tighter because they fell off my arms. The head piece is cute, but I bedazzled the snake eyes with diamonds to make it more appealing. I got lots of compliments - "You look so pretty!" I bought the long, brown, curly wig to wear under the head piece and it looked great. A little expensive with everything I added, but the best costume I've ever put together!

Wicked!

Oct 30 2012

One of the most creative costumes I've purchased! The leg sashes though don't even bother with. They do not stay up and are just a mess. Headpiece of a lot smaller than the photo portrays but I think I liked it better - would have been too heavy otherwise. BE CAREFUL WITH THE ZIPPER- I broke it when I first unzipped it, very frail. The safetypin look I achieved afterwards was cool but also a lot of work which could have been avoided if the zipper was of better quality from the start.

Fun Costume

Oct 23 2012

I loved the idea of being Medusa for halloween. Found this costume and thought it was great. The headpiece is pretty cool, the sleeves on the dress looked great till you put them on you need to put elastics in the top part of the sleeve so it doesn't fall down and drive you crazy all night. The zipper is much better than all the reviews I read on here it stays up. The dress is a bit long for shorter people but I guess if you just wear higher shoes you don't notice as much. The top of the dress is a bit small to size and the bottom is bigger than you would think. I ordered the small because I thought the medium would be too big. But I had to put hook and eyes on the zipper just in case as the top is hard to do up. But the bottom has tons of room. Overall an awesome costume glad I purchased.

Good costume

Oct 10 2012

I was very surprised about how great this costume looks. I bought a few more rubber snakes to put in my hair for the night, but the headpiece would look good by itself.

This fits a little small around the waist for sizing. The white snake skin waist is stretchy and can be zipped up but bunches a little. Made it work. It is also a halter top which it did not specify in the directions/notes so a little cool to wear for Halloween in Canada unless staying inside. Loved the material and colors. Have checked out numerous different snake head pieces and this one is the best. Study, rubber and realistic. I found some material similar to the netted green draping and made a ragged shawl type cover and helps with the cold and looks great. Would purchase again. :) Does not come with the cane. Hard to find?

After searching many web site serches I found buycostumes.com and was pleased to find the large amont of different products i.e costumes they offered. I recently bought the medusa costume. I love it! It is the perfect fit and customer service offered free shipping if I did not like it or if it did not fit correctly. This costume is very detailed of quality fabric and is exactly what I expected it to be. Shippping was timely. I would order again from this company. I would recommend to my friends and I will order again in the future.
