[...] my daughter was thrilled when it finally came. After ripping into the box, came huge dissappointment! The quality of the costume was horrible...paper skirts, tights that don't fit [...]!! She didn't even get it on before it!! Paper skirt?? Really? For [$] you would think you would get a much better quality product. [...]. We could have cut 2 holes in a sheet & she could have gone as a ghost & it would have been a better costume than this one!! Don't waste your money!

My daughter wore this costume 2x and both times something broke on it and had to be repaired. The picture shows red socks but those did not come with it. We were sent 2 left handed gloves. Despite the fact that it was of poor quality and did not look as cute as the picture would suggest, my daughter still enjoyed this costume.

I have 3 kids and have been buying Halloween costumes for years, and this is by far the worst! It was flimsy and didn't hang right. The hat was smashed and looked horrible. There was no way my daughter would wear this costume. I had to scramble for another one. Bummer!

The price was set way too high on this costume. 10 minutes after having it on, it started to fray and the sides ripped. 30 minutes later and the cheap felt/cardboard skirt was coming away from the waist band. The only "good" part of the whole thing was the hat and even that arrived so crushed up the wrinkles never came out.

Serious dissapointment.

CHEAPLY MADE COSTUME

My daughter wore the costume to a Sunday School party and came home with a rip. So this costume hasn't even seen Halloween school parties or trick-or-treating yet. The tights do not stretch at all, she had to wear a pair of her own. It is very itchy, she had to wear a shirt under. Don't waste your money, this costume is very cheaply made. We were very dissapointed.

This costume is unique-looking and cute, so I purchased it for my daughter. The accessories seem to be the only things holding up. The ties in the back of the bodice have already torn off; I guess my daughter wasn't supposed to move around in it! Very cute, but with no quality at all!

The hat is horrible... It;s a floppy hat.. the rim is not straight like it looks in the pic. We bought a different hat to go with this outfit. The outfit itself is really cute. It ties in the back for a perfect fit, although the tie ending up ripping after once use. It does run small so make sure you buy one size bigger.

I hope it will last the complete night.The material is flimsy, the underskirt is paper, the hat is so our of shape, cannot be made to look good. [...]

Very cute, but its real thin material and skirt is like paper. It does run small but the next size up would have been too big. The tights were so small we had to buy regular ones and draw the stitches on it. The hat and gloves and dress part are cute-so I guess that makes up for the other parts. Just needs some modification.

It's ok
By AmandaVerified Purchaser from Tennessee on 10/13/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design
Cons:
Poor Construction
Describe Yourself:
Parent of Two or More Children

The costume is too cute but is definetely not long-lasting! I have to buy new tights because the ones that came with it were too short in the center. The skirt is made of a stiff felt type material which makes me too scared to let her play in it before Halloween. The hat is actually very sturdy and only requires a little stuffing to make it stand tall. Overall, my daughter loves it and it looks good on her, that's all that matters. [...]

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

The costume is really cute. My daughter wears a size 8 and we bought one size bigger (because I read someone else's review that said it runs small) and I'm glad I did because the bigger size fits her great. I was dissapointed in the hat. It is very wrinkled and the rim does not stay straight like in the photo. It's more of a floppy hat. My daughter will have to wear a different hat (we bought a black hat). Otherwise it is really cute.

This costume is cute but not as cute as it appears on the picture and it runs rather small.
The hat doesn't stand up very well and I can't get the wrinkles out of it. The glovettes are very cute, the boot covers and purse are very cute. Overall I do not think this is a very good costume considering the price.
