Holy Wow It's Hard to Get Into!
So this costume is awesome in a lot of ways. It's not overly sexy so you can wear it in public without shaming your family. The skirt is shortish, but not to the point where anything is peeking out of the bottom. The colors are vibrant, the wings are sparkly and made well, and they fit comfortably.

It comes with 1 rose pin like the ones the girl has in her hair in the picture, the 2 arm bands, and the dress. The corset is attached to the dress.

The dress is also well made which is important because it is hell for me to get into this thing. For reference I am a little over 5'6 and weigh 140lbs. I got a medium and it fits fine once I get it on, but here's the deal: Because the corset is attached to the dress there is NO making the dress looser, so it's going to go on, or it's not. The zipper also doesn't go down much past your natural waist so there is no leeway for your hips. There is no way I could pull this up over my hips so I have to put it over my head and...


Cute, but...
This costume is adorable, but it is way too small!!! I'm short, curvy, and maybe a size 10 on a bad day. I figured I should order an XL to accommodate for a larger chest. An XL is listed as a 12-14, so I figured it would be ok. I was wrong. Not only is the corset a really weird length, but it fits a bit snug for my liking. The top of the dress will definitely not work for anything over 36D, and I would be extremely uncomfortable. It's too low to wear a bra. The length was great, but I'm 5'2". To top it all off, the wings didn't come with my costume like they were supposed to. It's definitely getting returned. I like the look of the costume, and decided to order an XXL to see if that fixes my problems.

Also note that the green in the corset is not that beautiful brown/green shown. The material is much cheaper than what it appears to be on the model, and the corset has more loops. Maybe because of the size, though. The green is actually a brighter less pretty green, but it...


great costume
Costume is beautiful and pretty true to size. I wear a 14 and I ordered a 14-16 and it fit snugly, but it did fit.
The shipping was fast, but to process the order took forever. I waited for almost 2 weeks to get it.
I did have to do some improvements on the costume itsself. Like the other review says, the elastic on the wings is awful! Besides being visible, they were so tight my arms felt numb. So I ended up cutting the elastic off and using velcro to attach the wings to the back of the dress. One other thing I dd was bought a spool of green ribbon for the corset. The ribbon they give u was too short.
Oh ya, and if u r a woman w larger breasts, this costume is not gonna work 4 u. I wear a 38b and the top was so small I felt like I was kinda popping out of it.
But overall the costume was awesome and I got a ton of compliments.
I paid $35 for it, which was a deal. I see they r going for as much as $60 on here and I would have never paid that much for it though.
