The costume is okay. There were 2 big problems for me with the costume. The first is that it fit me like a tent and was not flattering at all. The other problem was that the bottom layer of the skirt is made of some crushed velvet like material and the lace on top sticks to it really badly. I tried everything I could to get the lace to stop sticking and didn't have any luck. Usually I have anti-static spray on hand but was out so that might have made the costume wearable. Personally I didn't feel very pirate like when I put on the outfit. Anyway I ended up wearing a costume from 2 years ago because I just didn't like this one.
