RubiesBatman Arkham City Harley Quinn Costume

I was sketchy about buying this costume based on some of the reviews, but I'm glad I did despite them. The red on the costume was brighter than the picture, but the top and bottom matched perfectly unlike in some reviews. I ordered a medium and everything fit almost perfect. I was expecting some imperfections due to my size. I'm only 5' tall and 120lbs and more rounded on the bottom than the top. The top fit good ( slightly big, but comfortable to where I can freely move around, but not baggy and weird looking either). But the bottoms are short even for me so you definitely need boots, they fit good on my legs but the waist is a little big so I'll be putting a few stitches in to make them tighter in that area. The choker, after cutting off all the tags, fits well; but the main problem is the belt is substantially larger than the waist of the pants, so that too, I will be shortening with a few stitches. Overall though, the material is comfortable and soft, the costume looks great and is better quality than I thought it would be, and I don't blame the seller for the few issues I have bc it's more due to my size and shape rather than their sizing being off. I would recommend this costume to anyone considering it, it is awesomely hot, and I love it.

This costume was so frustrating! There are apparently many versions of the costume. I ordered a Large at first because I had read that it could run small. I got the costume and it was a light maroon type color and was made out of very stretchy material. The pants fit well, had some room in them. The top was SO large. I could have tried to sew it to fix it, but I figured I would just return it and get the next size down.When I returned the Large and ordered the Medium, a whole different STYLE of this costume was sent to me. The color was more reddish and the material was more "pleather-y" instead of stretchy. Therefore the pants did NOT fit at all and the top was a bit snug. I could have gotten away with wearing the top, but I did not like the style of the top either.I thought that maybe I did not order from the same place and returned the Medium for another medium. Same costume came.I even went to Party City and they only had the non-stretchy style of the costume. I've been trying to find this costume, but this company decided to make so many versions and list it as the same costume.Not very efficient. I wish whoever gets this costume luck! The pleather version is horrible and made so cheap. Don't order from online as you won't know which version you will get (or at least get it under the free returns so you can test your luck!)

So I'll start by saying I wore this to comic con and got SO many compliments. This was my first cosplay- and I wanted to look like I knew what I was doing even though in reality I didn't. I'm going to break down this review into different parts for better reference and I'll be as real as I can be.Sizing:I'm about 5ft tall and am pretty slim with a decent amount on top (got it? got it.) I got a size small and the costume definitely needed alternations! I've never sewn before- but this costume needed taking in BADLY because I'm pretty thin. I had to take in the gloves and pants more than 3 inches! So fair warning- if your thin- you'll need to fix this up if you don't want to look like a clown (no pun intended haha). The length however I had no problems with thankfully! The top ran incredibly small for me. I'd say if your an A cup you'll be okay, but if youre pushing a B-Cup or C-Cup be warned. I found myself squeeeeezzzing into this. Thankfully I didnt break the material- but it felt like I would. The gloves are HUGE and frankly unappealing aesthetically. They are thick and foam padded- I've advise to find alternative gloves.Material/Comfort:While I'm sure most of you know, I'll make this totally clear. The material is not that stretchy. You have been forewarned- sizing is a must haha. While I found the material decently breathable - the foam parts in the top and gloves kill. They are really insulated and I got hot ALOT. (Granted I live in florida so its always terrible in costume outside). As a matter of fact the gloves are so bulky and hot that you may as well just toss them. I found myself putting up my pants CONSTANTLY. Even with alterations. Even with the waistband in the pants (which honestly serves no real purpose because its not a true waistband. Maybe its the material? All I know is walking up stair was a pain and bending/sitting was nearly impossible because of how low cut the pants were. Regardless, I managed. All the accessories have velcro and stay just fine and looked pretty good even as a cheap costume set. (Not if your a professional cosplayer- but pretty damn OKAY).Notations: Be advised the costume does not come with boots/bootcovers and the pants do NOT have pockets. Just to be clear.Overall I am beyond glad I made the choice to purchase this. I constantly had people coming up to me asking to take photos and quite a few people said I was one of the better Harley's theyde seen (although I had makeup/wig/personality help). I got a TON of compliments on my costume and it was worth the small issues I had and the time I put into alterations because the costume was SO cheap. I think in total I spent less than $50 on my cosplay. That's unheard of for one that turned out so well put together.If you want a cheap costume to make a big impression and don't mind doing a little work on your end- get this costume. I'll admit however next time I will search for other avenues simply because of the sizing issues and pants malfunction but for the money it was worth the hassle.
