I wanted to be a Greek Goddess for halloween. But I since I'm short (5'4") I didn't want the usual long gowns to make me look even shorter. I searched high and low and found this gem on Amazon. It's just as gorgeous as it looks. Plus it came with arm bands, head band and fit perfect. The material wasn't flimsy, sheer, and one-time use like most costumes out there for ladies. So for the price it was well worth it. I wore my hair up, some heels and I received a ton of compliments that night! Very sexy but not too short. True to size. Waiting for a toga party so I can wear it again. :)
