Considering how expensive shoddily made costumes are, this was a great deal (I got it for $76).

I'm just shy of 5'5" and wore 4" heels... and still had to get the dress hemmed (preferable to having it too short mind you) so I didn't step on it when moving backwards. Good for those taller ladies.

The costume arrived in a really nice garment bag. The dress was substantial... I was surprised at how heavy it was due to the layers of satin and lace on the bottom. I was actually concerned about it staying up if I wore if off the shoulders. Turned out not to be a problem. The dress stayed where it was supposed and moved well. It was really fun to wear.

I didn't wear the included stockings, as I'm not fond of the net style, but they seemed of middling typical quality.

The lace piece was nice. It's a stiffer lace to help it form when wearing the headpiece. I wore as it was by pinning it to "my" hair (I wore a wig).

The red headpiece was laughable and the only disappointing part of the costume. It was surprising low quality considering the much higher quality of the rest. The red headpiece is made of red felt with red sequins attached. The felt piece is glued to a clear headband. Since the felt piece was so tall, to keep it upright, a CLEAR DRINKING STRAW was glued to the back. I couldn't help myself.. I laughed when I saw it. It was something I could have made at home. I didn't use it.

Overall, I loved this costume. Received many compliments.
