I wasn't expecting too much from this costume considering the price but was very pleasantly surprised by the fine quality of craftmanship. The material is rich and gorgeous, the stitching perfect and the lace detail is very fine. Looks very regal and sexy at the same time. You can adjust the waistline with those golden cords in the middle. I paired it up with a big black velvet hat with a lace bows and trim, black leather boots and a chunky choker-pendant. Enjoyed wearing it very much at the Halloween party! Highly recommended!
