Good quality for the money
Not made of cheap material. Fit as I ordered. The order was delivered on time! Plenty time for Halloween party, in case it didn't fit. But it did fit.

X-Small versus Small
The big question for me was whether to order x-small or small. As there is no size info for x-small on line.I am not a size 6 as suggested by the size info for a small.So I ordered an x-small size. I am 5ft 4inches and weigh 107lbs/ 34B bust.The skirt is fine, the jacket is a snug fit. A little tight on me. The bust area fits fine. It covers my bust area and that looks personally looks good to me.The package clearly states x-small is for those "up to" 110lbs.Small is for those "up to" 125lbs.That is how I understand it.For me at my current weight, yes it is a little snug but is just comfy enough to keep.Honestly I doubt most at 110lb women could wear the X-small as the jacket (that is the part of the costume where the fit needs to be right) and I STRONGLY suggest order a size Small.The X-small states on the package for women size 2-4. The skirt works as it is elastic band waist, but the main part of the costume that will cause you problems is the jacket and it truly is a size 0-2. Size 2 being the max fit.I hope this helps you in regards to size.The Jacket:With the sizing, just know it runs small and tight.There is a zip up the back of it to open/close.It is a faux suede (but looks good) and is a nice variety of colors from light brown, dark brown faux leather trim and moss green and off-white vest. With a burgundy lace running through loops, ties nicely as a bow on top.I like others found it short exposing my belly-button. This is not a problem with the belt it covered it and you just pull up the skirt a little bit. My midriff is completely covered. It looks great.The Hat:If you just shape it before wearing it looks fine.Yes, the feather is not a large as the one in the photo, but it still looks really good.Just make sure you have it on the right way, with the feather tip facing behind you e.g.. not the front of the mirror but the wall behind you.The buckle and belt:Expect to see find just at first just the buckle which has a four small skulls on it for decoration (don't panic) as the belt is wrapped inside it.It is light plastic. To get the crinkles out, just place a towel over it and smooth it out with an iron.It only takes a few seconds and it is worth the effort, as it looks more leathery afterwards.It is worth mentioning that if you expect as I did to place a knife/dagger inside it, I can promise you it will NOT hold it.I experimented with a ordinary steak knife and it will not hold it.Order instead a garter with a knife. If not expect to carry a knife/dagger in your hand all night instead.The skirt:The skirt has elastic waist and it looks fine as is, however I have purchased a high-low white petticoat to finish the look. For a more finished look. It still surprised me as it looks sexy with out it. It is a mini length, but a comfortable one at that. I wouldn't wear it if is was any shorter. So length is fine.It will need an iron when you take it out of the package.The arm bands:They are off-white color and they are elastic band. Fit just fine.So I rate this as a 5star because when I put it on with flat black knee high boots I received compliments.No complaints. I plan to wear this to a Halloween party and to the Renaissance Festival. I LOVE IT!!!!Look I plan to wear this costume to a kids party and a adult party, I even want to wear it sitting at home watching Pirates of the Carribeen with Jack Sparrow and I am a 40yr young woman who always have searched for that elusive look combing comfort and sex appeal and I have. It is a nIce change from usually wear a Renaissance court dress to parties. This is a very comfortable outfit and I love that you can wear it with flat knee-high boats.Tips: Buy a high-low petticoat if you want to a more fuller skirt and if you are not comfy with a short skirt, as it will add a few inches. Although not necessary at all, I think it will polish it off nicely. Buy a garter knife/dagger. Or expect to hold things in your hand. Use your iron. oh, and from previous experience never buy any costume with wings:-) disaster. Forget heels, it looks just as sexy with a pair of flat black or brown knee-high boots.I hope my review helps you a lot.Have fun!

Perfect for the price!
Loved this for Pirates weekend at the Ohio Ren Fair. I got a large but it was a bit tight on my chest. Highly recommend this!

Cute Costume
I’m 155lbs 5 ft 6, I got size small, and it fits great! Very flattering! The belt doesn’t stay on but the costume still looks cute without it.

This. Is. Gorgeous!
I'll start by saying it fit exactly as expected - and I love it. I'm 5'1" and currently 166 lb, so a bit "fluffy," and the XL fit perfectly. I'll go over each part of the costume and mention what I did and didn't like, but I would 100% buy this again if I needed to. This costume makes me feel fabulous and I usually hate the way I look. I would wear this every day if it wouldn't be weird. It hugs all the right curves, accentuates the best, and hides all the rest. Love it!The top:There is a zipper in the back of the top, which I was able to do myself easily, and the ribbon in front comes pre-laced on half of the eyelets. I undid that and ran it through all of them. I didn't pull it tight though, because I had read a few other reviews that warned about pulling too tight and potentially ripping out the eyelets, so I just gave it a gentle tug to tighten the ribbon and tied it up. It was 'low cut' but not slutty, though definitely be sure to at least wear a bra under it in case you decide to lean forward. It rides about an inch or two higher on my stomach than I was comfortable with, but as everyone else did, I just brought the skirt up a few inches and it was perfect! Felt more comfortable, too.The sleeves:Not much to say about them; they are small ruffles of fabric on an elastic band. I like them because they help hide the "extra" I have on my upper arms, but you can leave them off and it still looks great.The skirt:This is probably my favorite part. It's shorter in front and longer in the back, which I LOVE, and it's got three different layers of fabric so buying a petticoat to go underneath isn't actually required. I bought one anyway, but it hasn't arrived yet. Until then, honestly, the skirt looks great on its own and has enough flare to it just from my hips that it doesn't really need any extra fluff. But I'm excited to see how it looks when my petticoat arrives, so if I remember to update this next week, I will. This skirt has an elastic band so it can fit a great range of sizes and hip widths. I brought it up a little at my waist to cover my stomach, and it still went just longer than mid-thigh in front.The belt:This is probably the only part that I was disappointed with. It's just a piece of fabric with a plastic end, but no hook or fastener or any way to hold it in place aside from tucking it into a loop next to the buckle. It's also very short, so it just barely went around my waist. If I can find a safety pin, I might be able to pin the end down and keep the belt on without being constantly conscious of it, but the costume still looks great even without the belt.The hat:The hat is also kind of cheaply made, but easier to fix than the belt. It does come a little squished, and the feather is long and straight rather than curvy and fluffy, but it still looks great (and honestly, do all pirates have perfect looking hats?). I'm going to do what a few other reviewers suggested and steam it and reshape it.All in all, amazing costume. It makes me feel fantastic and I can't wait to find every excuse to wear it. (Also, fun fact, if you take off the belt and hat, it can double as a barmaid outfit. ;) )

Trop beau
Qualité au top top top, trop contente, je fais du 40 la taille est parfaite. La ceinture ne tient pas mais sans c'est aussi jolie. Effectivement le chapeau faut lui redonner la forme aussi.

Très sympa
Costume vraiment joli, la jupe fait son effet 😍 mais j'enlève une étoile pour le chapeau qui arrive déformé et n'est franchement pas mettable... À laver en programme "à la main" dans un filet car le tissu n'est bien sûr pas hyper solide. Cependant c'est suffisant pour un déguisement ☺️

Better quality then expected
I find usually Halloween costumes are made of very cheap and uncomfortable fabric. I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this! Looks really great on! The only critique is that the hat must be made for a literal giant and is absolutely massive. It does not seem easy to alter either.

Love it but wore a blouse
This was surprisingly good. I’m 5’5” and around a size 10I received the skirt, which was a bit loose but okay and not too short. It might look nicer with the underskirt but still worked with outThe bodice is really good. It has a back zip and the front lacing is adjustable for fitThe belt I secured with a bit of tape for a nipped in waistThe hat was a great fit with a smart feather.The top included was just a pair of frilly armbands. It’s October and I was outside so I added a blouse for a bit more warmth but that workedI was impressed overall and will wear again

Not worth the money.
The fabric was thin cheap material, the hat was a weird foam material that won’t mold to look like a hat.The belt doesn’t even buckle.The top is okay but cheapAll in all buy it if you’re desperate for a costume, but I’m sure you can get a better quality, cheaper costume elsewhere.
