Medusa

"OVERALL: The quality of the costume was ok. The back doesn't have the same second bodice layer that the front does. It is only one solid piece of frabric that is very sheer and unforgivingly clingy. I wore a very tight nude colored slip under it to help. The crown is totally lame in real life but I was medusa so I didn't need it.

HINTS: As another reviewer said, it tends to flop down in the front. I figured out that if you take the sheer streamers on the sleeves and wrap them toward the inside of the garment and out the arm holes (as opposed to directly over the shoulder) it works much better. Also, you can then pass them through your bra/slip strap on the shoulder before passing it out the arm hole. That kept it in place perfectly which pleased me because it had looked very dumpy. Also, once you get the waist ribbons in place, pull down on the front point (bottom) of the bodice piece and it will draw the folds in and down to give you a nice body shape.

MEDUSA: I got the "Bad Girl Wig" and added headbands that I covered in shaped (with super glue) and painted wooden snakes from Oriental Trading Co. The wig held the headbands very nicely and I was never worried that they would fall. The costume was a huge hit!"

Title: neckline

Date: October 31, 2008

"Well I guess I should have read the review before we ordered the costume. We ordered the costume for my 14yr old daughter cause it is hard to find costumes that cover a young girl anymore. And we had to run out the night before halloween and sort through the left overs to try and find a costume because her neck line came so low and from the picture and the package there is suppost to be an adjustable neck line. what a waste of money."

Title: Roman Godess Costume

Date: October 20, 2008

"The costume is top-heavy, meaning it's for large busted women. It needs to be taken in at the top or pinned on both sides and worn with a long slip as it's see through. Otherwise, it's a good price and if dressed up with jewelry, it looks good."

Title: Neck not remotely adjustable

Date: August 13, 2008

"This product specifically states that it has an adjustable neck line. Suffice to say, elastic does not an adjustable neckline make. I purchased this product, along with the Marc Antony costume, for a toga party my girlfriend and I were planning on attending. When she tried on the Athena costume, the neckline looked nothing like the picture and drooped nearly to her belly button. The rest of the outfit fit well, but the neckline completely ruined the look. A simple draw string would've amounted to an adjustable neck - really loose elastic does not. Unless your girl has the neck of a line backer, avoid this costume!!!! I will be returning this item and unfortunately won't be able to get a replacement in time. We're heading to the fabric store, which is probably what we should've done in the first place."

"the costume was a bit oversized and too simple; however,
it looked good for a Toga party and with accessories it made it looked better. For the price, it's what it's worth!!!!"

"I wasn't confident about the fit of the costume, but to my delight the costume ran true to size. I received tons of compliments at the costume party I attended. I will definitely rock it in the future."
