Initially, I was really excited about this costume. I LOVED the dress Mia Wasikowska wore in the film, so I was ridiculously excited to see such a similar costume. It really looked like her dress.

When I got it, I was so excited. It looked great online. However, when I tried it on it was, shall we say, not even close to what I thought it would look like. Sure, the design is the same, but it was so ridiculous looking! Very very cheap and you could even call it tacky. I was really surprised. It can't have cost them more than $10 to mass produce, and it really looks like it. The material is cheap, it was packaged poorly, and it just looked ridiculous. The petticoat they supply isn't a petticoat at all. It's actually just some fabric that reminded me of the cheap throwaway dressing gowns when I go to the OB/GYN. Made of practically the same stuff-easily ripable and NOT a petticoat. It didn't add any fullness to the dress whatsoever. The fit was awkward as well. I'm a size 6 so I picked a small and it fit everywhere but my arms, where it was super uncomfy. The awkward part was the petticoat- it's elasticized in the back but not in the front, and it was HUGE on me. I don't know how I could've kept it up. There was a hole in the bottom tier and some extra ink where it didn't belong from the pattern they put on the dress. Cheap central!

Needless to say, I didn't keep it. What a waste of money! Thank goodness I got mine back or I would've been really mad.
