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!

Fits Perfectly, Great Quality For the PRICE!!
Love this costume!! I am 5'7 and 127 lbs. I bought a small. I would say get one size larger than you need! I fit in it perfectly! :)I bought this costume for Renn Fest this weekend! The shipping was super quick too! I picked 2 day, but it came in a day! :) Thanks amazon.As for the costume itself:The Top: The most important part of the costume, and I think and it's pretty good quality for what I paid! :) The strings came weaved every other hole, BE REALLY CAREFUL WITH THE THREADS AND THE LOOPS, THEY ARE REALLY FRAGILE!! DO NOT PULL ON THE STRINGS!! I carefully threaded the ribbon through each loop, the top looks fantastic! And I really love how it hides all parts of your bra!! Including your bra straps!! :)The Skirt: You will automatically need to buy a white petticoat, I REALLY suggest this! It not only makes your costume come to life, but it makes your skirt a little longer in the front! I'm 5'7 and it fit like a mini skirt, and to add about 3 inches more, I added my white petticoat skirt :) be sure to fluff it up before putting the skirt on! :) I love the cascading layers in the skirt & I love the back!The Sleeves: Just like the picture, might be a little uncomfy if your arms aren't used to it. Since my arms are somewhat slim, I had no problems here :) They are probably a little smaller than I expected, and they are just pieces of material, I thought they were going to be a capped sleeve. :) No matter, it all works though!The Belt: I am opting to not use this item, only because I think the belt takes away from the top, covering most of the weaved part for me, and the belt's material itself is pretty cheapy, so I have a feeling it wouldn't really stay on well. If you want to use the belt for this costume, GET 3M CLEAR DOUBLE SIDED TAPE!!The Hat: Was pretty squished, but I am not going to wear this for my costume either. :)Overall: The costume is really amazing & I am impressed with the quality for spending under $50!!! :) Would highly recommend!!

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.

Quite dissapointing
The quality is pretty bad, the belt opens constantly, no sword and the skirt doesn't have the white underskirt that is shown on the picture.The hat was totally deformed and look like you are crazyDefinitely NOT worth the price.

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
