I ordered two of these costumes, along with several other costumes, and this was by far the highest-quality costume. It looked great. There is a slight gap between the bottom of the pants and the top of the socks (on both my actors), especially if you're moving around a lot, so you might want to put on a pair of red or green tights underneath, or have a taller pair of red or green socks/stockings under the red and white striped socks. Also, the web site didn't let you specify special shipping, and it's not easy to get in touch with this vendor, which seems like it might be a one-guy operation. That's okay (if it helps keep costs down) Very nice guy, but this isn't his only job. Email is best for getting in touch with him once the order's been placed. Just plan ahead if you need the costume and allow normal shipping time. I ordered these Thanksgiving night and they arrived the following Friday. The costume looked really great on my elves. We performed an original musical for about 5,000 people in an outdoor concert and everyone loved it. I know the costumes were just the right touch!
