Forum Novelties Pilgrim Girl Costume, Child's Large - 4.5 out of 5 stars from 31 customer reviewscolonial/pilgrim costume
I bought this costume for my 11 year old 5th grader who is having colonial days later this month. She is 58" and 76 lbs so I was hoping the large wouldn't be too big since she's slim. I ordered the costume on Monday night and it arrived late Thursday! It's a one piece dress plus a bonnet and fits well, nearly touching the floor. The price was excellent and so was delivery. She'll be one of the best dressed colonial girls in class.
Love it!
My 7 yr old daughter loved the costume, and already asked if she can wear it again next year! The quality was great for the price. The only problem I had was sizing. It came in 4-6 or 8-10 and my daughter wears a 6x. I purchased the larger size, but it had to be shortened a lot. I found it difficult to modify without compromising the appearance.
High quality costume for the price
I agree with other reviews posted about this product in the following ways:
1) This costume seems high quality for the price. It does look like it could be washed in the washing machine, though I have not tried this yet.
2) The size is generous, and the skirt is quite long. I have a plus-size girl whom the large fits around nicely. I am going to hem up the skirt a few inches.
3) The back does gape open completely, except for a velcro closure at the top. Obviously, this costume is intended to be put on over a kid's regular clothes, such as for trick-or-treating on a chilly night. And, it would indeed work great for that. However, my child is wearing it to an all-day field trip at an old-fashioned, one-room school house in late May. So, I plan to just baste up the back with black thread and remove it when she takes off the dress at the end of the day. I think that will be easier than trying to sew in hooks or buttons.
4) The brim of the bonnet...
