I have been looking at this costume since last year. I was worried about whether or not it would fit well. After reading the reviews I finally decided to order it for this Halloween. This costume is excellent. I think it's beautiful and unique. The picture does a pretty good job showing how it actually looks. I wear a 10/12 and ordered a large. I usually feel fat in things and I think for the most part that these pre made costumes usually run small. But I don't feel that way about this costume. It fits PERFECTLY to my surprise and I feel very comfortable in it. It actually gives me an hour glass figure. Of course everyone is different. The zipper is kinda flimsy like the other reviewer said but I've tried it on and worn it around the house several times and I've had no problem with the zipper spontaneously popping open. She must have gotten one with a faulty zipper. I gave this costume four stars instead of five for two reasons:

1. The wig is RIDICULOUSLY small. Just like another reviewer said and I have a small head. I think it's a child's wig. Seriously this wig is SMALL!! It's so tight and doesn't cover all of my hair which kind of sucks because I have dark hair and it all sticks out at the bottom and looks stupid. The company really needs to re-evaluate the wig in this costume. I looked at other wig options but the thing is that this costume has a very silver/grey look to it. I didn't order this costume in time to order another wig that actually fit and matched so my solution is to rat up my hair really good, do a little curling iron action on it and then spray it with some of that silver temporary hair spray paint. It looks pretty good even though I have dark hair and the costume shows a woman with the siver wig and it's probably a lot less hot since wigs always make me hot.

2. The back of the dress doesn't have much detail. The front is pretty good and looks just like the photos. But I think the whole effect of this costume is that it's supposed to look really tattered. And it does come with a quite a few tattered details in the front but not the back. So I put a few extra holes and tatters in the front and the back with my handy dandy scissors. Looks way better now.

Other than that I have no negative things to say. The "petticoat" that it comes with isn't really a petticoat. It's more just like a long tutu. It does give the the dress a little "oommf" but don't expect it to poof out. But that's not really a big deal and the costume still looks great.

So my opinion on this costume is great. It's really a refreshing option for a Halloween costume for those of us ladies that are sick and tired of the stupid slutty costumes that are so prevalent today. Slutty crayon?? Please. Anyway it's pretty, unique and classy. You just might have to make a few modifications on it.
