RubiesUnisex - Adult Venus Flytrap Costume

Really different
Unique design. Runs a bit small for me. Comes very creased out of the package. I steamed it and looks great now.

Great Costume but Bad Seller Sent a Broken One
Original 2-star Review:The costume is actually pretty good, but unfortunately it arrived missing one of the two plastic hoops that make up the mouth and the one that was there was split/broken. Of course, now it's too late to return this one and get a replacement that isn't broken, so I'm stuck paying full price and still having to rig something to make the costume usable for my child for Halloween.Incidentally, I'd recommend getting one of those green one-piece suits to wear underneath this as it doesn't come with a real shirt, gloves, pants, etc. Basically it's just the pot and the mask, but it's still a great costume.So, costume is actually recommended, but the vendor, Blockbuster Costumes, I would steer clear from them.Edit: So now that Halloween is over, I had to come back and report that this costume was a huge hit -- everyone loved it. However, I have to take credit for a lot of that because I modified it rather significantly. Like I stated above, mine did not come with a hoop in the lower jaw, so I added some plumbing tube from the hardware store and it worked great. I also stitched the two jaws more together in the corner of the mouth which looked a lot better. I also added a hoop of plumbing tube around the "rim" of the pot so it kept its shape a lot better and actually looked like a pot instead of skirt. A green one-piece leotard was worn under it. My son said it was a little difficult to see out of it, but I showed him how the face covering just velcro'ed in place, so he could uncover and recover his face as he wanted.Overall, great costume, but I'm still steamed that I had to pay full price for one that was broken and missing parts. But the costume was such a success, that I decided not to have the costume take a hit because the seller has lousy quality control, so I changed the review to 5-stars, purely for the costume.

You will need to DIY this costume
For $80 I would hope this would be higher quality. If you buy this you will need to plan to do some work on it. I used stitch witchery to close the mouth more and followed other reviews and bought pluming tube to give the pot shape. I used duct tape for this and it took about 30 mins total and cost about $10. If you do nothing this costume is a shapeless blob that will hang off your body. 3 stars since it ended up being a hit but it’s pricey for what you get.

I THOUGHT FOR THE PRICE IT WOULD BE A DECENT COSTUME BUT IT WILL DEFINITELY TAKE SOME WORK
THE COSTUME THAT I GOT REALLY DOES NOT RESEMBLE THE PICTURED PRODUCT. IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF WORK TO MAKE IT LOOK DECENT! I DID ORDER IT EARLY ENOUGHT TO DO THAT BUT BUYER BEWARE. THE MATERIAL THAT CAME WITH THE COSTUME DOES NOT EVEN RESEMBLE THE PICTURED ITEM! I WOULD THINK FOR THE 70$ THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER PRODUCT!!!

BEST COSTUME EVER
My husband got this to accompany me as my evil plant ( I was poison ivy). We were told multiple times how we were the coolest costumes at the several events we went to with our kids. All the adults called him "Audrey II" from Little Shop of Horrors, and the younger generation thought he was the plant that come from the tubes in Mario bros. My husband is around 5 10 180 and everything fit fine. We had considered adding crepe paper or stuffing to the pot area to fill it out but didn't (might be a good option). We bought a cheap green leotard to wear underneath and the coverage was perfect.KEEP IN MIND for the wearer that your peripheral vision is limited, he did have to tilt his head back and I kinda led him around a bit when in a crowd.

and it looks like something that can't cost more than $15
I am so underwhelmed and may return it. It is extremely overpriced (paid $50, incl delivery), and it looks like something that can't cost more than $15. It's not an actual costume, but rather pieces of a costume: you get the head, four leaves that attached to is and DO NOT connect to each other, so there is no way to wear the upper part of the costume without something like a green sweater underneath it; NO GLOVES, so I have to spend extra time and money funding gloves to make this costume work; lower jaw has NO WIRING and the whole head doesn't look nearly as good as it looks on the picture; lower part of the costume looks so very cheap and weird, and it's probably for someone wearing size 14 in women's if not bigger than that.

Great costume!
This is a great costume! I used it to be Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. I added bloody teeth to the head piece and made flower/leafy gloves for my hands. It was a big hit.
