I had bought this as a last minute costume, and judged by the other reviews. I knew that it would be big, but it was ridiculous! I normally wear a size large, so I figured a 12-14 wouldn't be too bad. It sagged in all the wrong places and looked absolutely stupid on me. I don't know whether I should return it, or keep it for when I'm pregnant. The fabric was a very nice velvet and the trim is pretty, but the head piece looked like something from the dollar store. please don't waste your money on this costume. Lesson Learned- try on all costumes before buying them
