This is a nice, quality product. The fabric is not lusciously thick, or anything, but given today's super thin fabrics I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and decent thickness. It did not feel like a cheap outfit at all. I felt elegant when I wore it and got lots of compliments.

Some notes on size: I'm a pretty average size 10 and after reading the reviews I decided to order the medium/large size 10-14. I'm 5'4" tall and have a medium frame, but have a large bust line. I didn't want it to be too tight on the arms, as had been mentioned, and it wasn't. I wanted it to fit my bust, and it was readily adjustable, as had been mentioned. Also, the velvety fabric is stretchy, so that helped as well.

There are a couple things I'd like to point out. The dress was too tall for my 5'4" frame. I wore two-inch heels and still needed to lift it off the ground. This was okay because it fit the courtier persona I was portraying. It would easily fit a much taller woman. Since I'm only a size 10, the bodice fabric puckered a bit when I cinched it in. This was easily remedied by tucking the extra fabric in under the ribbons that run vertically down the sides of the front. The cinching ribbon was a bit cheap and didn't look like it fit well with the rest of the costume. I'll probably buy a heavier, possibly braided, cord to replace it.

The costume came folded in a plastic bag, about 12" x 14", yet I was able to wear it that evening after only letting it hang a couple hours. Not having to iron was a big plus!

I would definitely recommend this costume. It's a nice outfit that doesn't feel cheap and that easily adjusts to fit your body type.
