Secret Wishes Red Ginger Costume, B003O2S760

Secret Wishes Red Ginger Costume, Red, Small - 3.5 out of 5 stars from 4 customer reviews


If only it'd fit....
I got this via Amazon Prime, which is a great feature since returns are at no cost for shipping. However, I was not able to fit into it because it was too small. I usually run about size 12 on pants/jeans and size 14 for shirts/dresses. And the large size did not fit me. I was not able to get it past my shoulders or my hips when unzipped. The waist area on the costume seems to be very tight. So, if you have hips and wide shoulders, I would get the largest to try on for size or just consider another costume.


Beautiful, yet painful.
This costume arrived pretty fast, when it came it had a lot of wrinkles. I'm going to have to iron it at a low setting to get them all out. I ordered the small, and at first I thought no way would it fit! But after my friend zipped it up, it fit like a glove. Only downside is, it has literally no stretch. The arms are kind of stiff and while I have some room in the waist and bust, it is tight on the back and I find it hard/impossible to breath in/yawn. It fits true to size though and is meant to be form fitting, my friend told me if I went a size up it would be too long, be saggy in the waist and give the "grandma boob" I guess I will just have to suck it up and be uncomfortable, it is gorgeous.


I adore this costume
This is an amazing costume. It arrived earlier than I expected (It was here about three days after I ordered it!). It did arrive a little damaged, some of the fabric on the bodice right where it meets the skirt was ripped, but it was an easy fix. The fabric is soft and not that cheap plastic-y stuff. It is, however, a pain to get wrinkles out of. It's going to tell you not to iron it, but if you don't you don't the the wrinkles out period. I ironed it on a medium setting, and it didn't melt or burn so I think it's safe. Also, what I thought was a goldish yellow trim, is actually more of a neon yellow. It's ok though, it's still exactly what I was looking for.
