I needed this for a last minute costume party. Well, I got this a few days before my party so I didn't have time to put it on until the very last minute. It first perfectly, although I got one size larger than my normal medium. The problem? There was a black smudge mark on the bottom of the dress. I'm not sure where the smudge came from, ie a person returning it or the manufacturer. However, the mark was large. It I hadn't had to wear it immediately, I would have returned the costume. Overall thought the costume looked great so I can't complain too badly. Just pissed about the smudge!
