This was actually going to be my "backup" costume for Purim since I really wanted a 50's poodle outfit, but wasn't sure it would arrive in time; however, this looked so much better on me than my intended one that I'm going with it! Both the hat and dress are well made. I'm normally a size 18, with a larger bust and bum and smaller waist, and the dress fits me in an almost, but not quite, body-conscious way. The dress is sexy without being "in-your-face" about it, and the hat is structured but soft and comfortable. I have a short purple wig, and when I tried the dress on with that, it took on a sci-fi/fantasy look, which is great, as I now have two costume looks in one.
