Gossamer Ghost Costume - One B001CTJBH6

Gossamer Ghost Costume - One Size - Dress Size 4-14 - 2.0 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


Not What It Appears
First of all, the model on the picture is 5'3", something that I did not see mentioned anywhere before I ordered the costume (it's mentioned on the costumes packaging, as well as her 105 lbs. weight), and something relevant when you are 5'10" and didn't expect that the costume would just barely cover your knees. Secondly, the costumes is extremely see-through. Realise that you will need to wear something underneath it and whatever you choose to wear underneath will be visible. Thirdly, the "wig" that is included is only the front top part of the hairline, and not a full wig. And just so other potential buyers know, the gloves that are included only reach to the wrist, so if the sleeves are too short for you as they are for me, know that your skin will show.


Some Things You Should Know Before Buying
This is a great costume, very simple. But as the other reviewer noted, there are some things you ought to know before buying.

1. The model in the picture is a short girl, only five foot three inches tall. On her the gown and cape touch the floor, on five foot six inch me it grazes my ankles. (Not a huge problem in my book, but the gown costume is admittedly a little less impressive when you can see my tennies.)

2. The fabric is thin - unless you work up a sweat climbing hills trick-or-treating, you'll be chilly.

3. The wig is not a full wig, it's a front hair piece - practically a bangs toupee. Get another white wig for ten bucks on Amazon and ditch this crappy little thing.

4. The gloves only reach your wrists.

Otherwise, it's a simple, spooky costume. Also for girls like me who like to do extra spooky makeup on Halloween, this costume is perfect for that without going detail overload.
