I saw this costume and it made me smile, I really had to see what it was about, so I ordered it, figuring I can just return it if it doesn't work out. Reading the other reviews I was thinking perhaps this might be cheaply made, however, that is not the case.

Upon arrival, I noticed it was very well constructed, (and it is absolutely ADORABLE!) So I didn't understand what the problem was, yet as soon as I tried it on, pulling up the zipper, the teeth of the zipper pulled apart. The ONLY problem with this costume is.... the zipper. It is a plastic very lightweight zipper, even the pull is. That being said, the pull is VERY flexible, meaning the teeth will separate, with the slightest amount of pressure or pull. So I gathered it at the back, while wearing it to made sure that it would fit properly. There was plenty of room, and the bodice is a stretchy medium weight spandex, so there is plenty of stretch.

I got out the sewing machine, turned the costume inside out, pulling together the edges of the zipper, pinned it, and sewed right down the stitch line on the zipper, and now instead, I have no zipper to worry about, I pull it over my head, the seam looks just fine. I took in the straps a couple inches too, because I have a short torso. Now no worries about the zipper busting, because I have a back seam instead. Took me a whole 10 minutes maybe. The other option is to replace the zipper with one of better quality, but I didn't need to, and now the costume is PERFECT!
