Im a female who is sized 4 adult. I bought a male small and I really like how it fits. I have enough room to move. The pants have enough room through the rear, and thats good for me. I agree with other reviewers that the piping is black and red fray (not red cording). I don't mind it and would buy it again. The patch with the bird was not sewn on the jacket, presumably because they let me pick how far down on the breast it needs to fall. The bow was too big and I will use double stick tape to make it smaller by doubling the bow on itself. Love this costume!!!
