I bought this dress for my senior prom 2 years ago as it was an Alice in Wonderland theme and I wanted something more costume-y and regal for it instead of your generic prom dress. I originally found this dress on the Party City website but it was just way to expensive so I forgot about it. After I decided to check Amazon. lo and behold! This dress popped up almost 70 bucks cheaper than the one from Party City. Of course, I immediately bought it and actually received it much more promptly than I expected. Fast forward to prom night and it held up very well! There was only two problems I had encountered and that was the mask came to me all busted up with it all detached (something I didn't mind because I wasn't buying it for the mask) and the bow on the back got caught on something so the threads kind of tore despite it not being that hard of a tug but it was a very easy fix. Two years later, the dress and the bow are still in immaculate condition despite being packed and unpacked multiple times. I still use it (and the garters!) whether it's for photoshoots (I'm a photographer) or just to wear around the house and feel pretty in.I honestly don't get the reviews that say it ran small. I ordered my size exactly which was an XL and it fit perfectly. It's actually a little large on me now as I've lost weight.I made sure to purchase an XXL size for my teen daughter who wears a size 13/14 and is top heavy. The costume is beautiful and she loved it. However, she said that after wearing it for about an hour it was extremely itchy and that made it uncomfortable. Given that the sizing tends to run small here and that it wasn't comfortable, I can only give this a three star review.I love this costume,,, After reading the reviews, I knew it was running a little small in fit, so ordered the XXL, I am about a 16-18, and it fits great. I added a black Petticoat and corset to it, and it feels amazing. Can't wait to wear this costume for Halloween, believe it or not, paired with the right shape wear, this costume is extremely body flattering. I love it, love it, love it..I bought this costume for my 13 year old (she wears women's size 2 and junior size 5) and it was too small. I exchanged it for a medium size and it fits a bit loose but has the right length. I also bought a pettiskirt to wear under the costume.Very well made and detailed. Fits perfectly, so the sizes are labeled correctly. The skirt does not flare out on its own though, you need a petty coat. The fabric is soft and the colors are exactly as shown.Quality is terrible. Stretch material sewed with standard non-strech cotton thread. So cheap. Medium size is actually a small. Ordered The large size and it came with one sleeve sewed on backward. Had to alter myself. Stay away from this seller until they get their quality control fixed.Cute costume, but runs a bit small.It looked really cute on but was a little short for me.entweder habe ich nicht die richtige Figur dazu oder es passt leider überhaupt nicht. Qualität ist ensprechend dem Preis in Ordnung.
