Rocky Horror Picture Show-Columbia Adult Costume - 2.7 out of 5 stars from 15 customer reviews3 Year Columbia Cosplayer
I was really unsure about buying this costume after reading the reviews but I've been cosplaying Columbia for 3 years now at Rocky Horror showings. So, I figured, why not buy the Halloween costume and see what it's like? And, well...
I LOVE it! Is it perfect? Well, of course not. It's a $40 Halloween costume not a $1,000 remake of Little Nell's original. I have no problem with the hat. Took it out of the bag, stood it up and put it on. Fits great and stands up wonderfully. Only thing is, it doesn't have the black strip around the bottom of it but I can get more ribbon and add that. The coat isn't lined so it's itchy but it has a tail and it's pretty. The tub top is comfy but a bit short (probably doesn't help I have bigger boobs) which is fine because I'm also 5'5 so I can pull the shorts up a bit because they're a bit long. Worst part was the "bow tie". It's a rectangle, not an actual tie, with a red thing wrapped loosely around the center and white stretchy string hooked to...
Columbia Costume: Stock Photo is Misleading
First, let me start off by saying that the costume did fit perfectly. The size medium fit my women's size 8 hiney just fine. Now, let me tell you what disappointed me about this costume. The stock photo of the costume is the actual photo on the front of the bag. Bag? That's right. That nifty little hat she has on comes out of a bag which means it is foamy and not at all "stand up." I did not even mess with it. The other misleading item shown in the stock photo is the shorts. If you look closely, you can see the stitches on the ribbons in the photo. Much to my dismay, the shorts are a very lightweight polyester material that just has the stripes printed onto them. The jacket is unlined which means it is a little itchy. The tube top is short- no tall people should order this costume. I am 5'3" and I had to hike those shorts way up to make ends meet. This cheaply made costume is not worth the price I paid for it. This is the last time I buy a halloween costume without...
"One size" is EXTRA LARGE!
This is advertised as "One Size". But the package indicates a choice of either Standard "up to 12-14" or XL. We were sent XL. I see that someone else commented that size is "extra large" - wish I'd read that before hand. sEnding it back, and looking elsewhere for better costume.
