I found this costume at a costume shop for $29. I was a bit skeptical, but this costume is great. Specifics: The front of the costume is as pictured. There are two panels of draping, one on the right and left of you which are attached about midthigh, and allowed to swing free midthigh down. The draping on the front does sweep the ground as you walk (even at my height), so just be prepared to keep people from stepping on them. The back has two ties, one around the neck and one that draws from the bust to the back. The back ties are white, not the black/gold fabric featured on the front. Other then that, your back is out. The waist features a rather thick elastic band. The costume also comes with the one arm band in gold/black which has exposed black elastic on the underside of it. The costume is very comfortable, and flows nicely. I'm 5'9, so the costume hits right above the top of my feet, but I imagine if you are shorter, it would fit you like the pictured model. The costume is 100% polyester and machine washable. Very pleased with this costume.
