California Costumeswomens Adult-sized Costume Adult-Sized Costume (pack of 1)

This costume is lovely and I'm excited to wear it. It is what you see in the photo, which makes a nice change!However, mine did arrive with a hole in the stitching which was about 2 inches long. I contacted the seller who offered £4 as compensation.. They pointed out it's an expensive dress and I could fix it at home. I agreed...but expensive dresses shouldn't have holes in them!! I was eventually given £6 and left it at that as I felt the response was rude. I did fix the costume myself and as a heads up on the collar... iron it! It worked brilliantly. Use a tea towel between the iron and costume.

Absolutely loved this outfit. Super sexy and what a great fit. Being short and curvaceous I was worried this would be too tight as previous outfits had been, but being made of that velour/velvety material it had plenty of flexibility. As previous reviews, the collar can be a bit misshapen and floppy. I did iron it under cloth on a super low heat. I couldn't be bothered trying to sew wire into it, but that would have added a bit more structure to it I'm sure. The headdress was rubbish though so I bought crown.

Great costume after a few tweeks, stretchy material. The collar didn't stay up had to sew wire in and the headband is tight so cut the elastic and used hairpins to hold in place, and the front is rather low cut. Had loads of compliments and a nice shimmery green/gold effect.

I ordered the medium as it said size 10-12 which is what I normally am. It's more like a 14! The bust area was so low the bottom of the v was at my naval!! Luckily I'm good with a sewing machine and taken it in, adjusted the neckline and added extra eyelets. Sizing aside my biggest complaint is the collar, it's so floppy! It's just thin foam, nothing rigid anywhere on the costume so I've had to stitch boning in to hold it up, after a lot of messing about ive got it to look ok. It's good for a cheap costume but expect to adjust a lot.

Very good quality costume, easy to wear and comfortable
