California Costumes Women's Jazz Time Honey Costume, Black/White,P (16-22) - 3.4 out of 5 stars from 5 customer reviews


Good for a costume
I got this for a twenties themed party, and it did the trick. Some pieces of the fringe fell off rather easily, but it didn't leave any gaping holes in the dress. It's costume quality, so as long as you're not expecting something totally functional for a night out on the town, you'll be satisfied. The headband is pretty cute and the feather never drooped, which I was afraid of, so that was good.

I usually wear a dress size 16 and it fit me perfectly. It hit about an inch or two above my knees, but I'm only 5'2", so someone taller who doesn't want to wear something very short should take note.

Fab but small!
SO, I'm a size 24 and I realize that the size of this product said 16-22 but really it should say 16-18. The product itself was good and not bad quality. Some fringe came off but nothing worse than that. However, I couldn't even get this dress over my shoulders. I have worked in womens plus size clothing for some time and I am positive this dress would not fit any size 22's I've ever met. Ended up taking the fringe off and sewing it to another dress I found so it worked out. But really ladies - 16 to 18.

Good for the price
For the price this costume is okay. Some of the fringing was already coming off when you took it out of the packet although I suspected that would happen. Size wise I can't see that it would go up to a size 22, I'm an Australian size 14 and it was just right (I don't like things tight) although a little bigger at the top as the sequins at the top are on elasticised material, the body of the dress does not stretch at all so I wouldn't try it if you are bigger than a size 16 or a big size 16. I'm 5ft 7in and it sits just above the knee, not as short as it looks in the picture and it's also lower at the top than the picture shows. It is also a bit see through as the material on the body is very thin. For the price and for a night of fun it's a great purchase, just be aware that if you are bigger than a size 16 you will probably struggle to get in on.
