This costume was high quality compared to most Halloween costumes. It is cold where I live so I was looking for something that would be warm, something my 3 year old some would think was cool, and something that wasn't scandalous looking and this fit the bill. The skirt came to about mid thigh (I am 5'7") but I knew I was going to wear thick leggings so that was ok. I wanted to be comfortable so I wore the boot covers over red converse. It wasn't as cute as it would have been with red heels but I wanted to be comfortable and be able to chase after my son. I normally wear a 4 or 6 and have a fairly large bust for my frame. The small fit me great for what I was looking for but if I was trying to be sexy at all I would have wanted it smaller.
