The dress looked so nice on the model on the front of the package. Unfortunately it did not look that way on me...not without some MAJOR alterations. I am 5'1 and I bought the size medium- well it was VERY long on me (which I expected) so I needed to hem the bottom. But it was the neckline that I had the most problems with... it kept falling very low (dangerously low, if you know what I mean- very uncomfortable since I thought I might have a "wardrobe malfunction" at any moment!). I evetually had to run to the drugstore and buy some safety pins and pinned it to my bra... and while this is not the fault of the costume but I am just letting folks know to keep this in mind for the petite, busty gals like me ;-)

Other then for these issues- the dress was cute (although most folks didn't know what I was until I opened my mouth to show them some fangs)and the lace on the sleeves was suprisingly soft- not scratchy.
