I actually love this costume.  I had to have it altered to fit the arms and chest to fit my size 16-18 frame.  It came just as it looks.  I would've like to know that it wasn't an item that could be washed or dry cleaned.  It lends to only wearing it once with that option.  I wore it dancing and it needs to be washed.  I keep my costumes to wear again.  I will have to see if I can handwash it to use it again.  All in all, I am happy with the quality of the item!
