Title: Everyone loved the Greek Empress Look! Date: November 10, 2008
"I am petite, 5"1 and I orderd the small, it was a little long without the heels but once I put the heels on it was fine, didn't need to get it hemmed in, thankfully, otherwise a tailor near me wanted to charge me $12. Everyone loved the costume, it was a nice fit and I am a size 6, definitley not clingy but definitely curve revealing. The "brooch" on top as the other reviewers suggested, fell off before I wore the costume! My mom sewed it up for me and attached the red accessory piece and voila! it didn't fall off the entire night I wore it. I paired with gold heels and a gold bag and it looked very cute. I felt comfortable the entire night with this costume and the crown didn't fall off much, stayed in place basically the entire night. The only thing I wouldn't suggest purchasing is the arm band, sold seperately, in the picture it appears red and I was told by the representative on-line that it was suited to match the dress, Wrong! When I got it at home, the stone's color was blue. Nonetheless I didn't wear it and it's going back. Overall everyone loved the costume and Greek Empress look!

Title: Nice fabric, but bad craftsmanship Date: July 2, 2008
"I ordered this costume for a cosplay event, but was really disappointed. The fabric is really nicer than I expected and has a nice flowy-ness about it, but the craftsmanship is horrible. The cape is attached wrong, so it doesn't lay flat like in the picture and the gold shoulder patch with the red jewel already fell off before I even took it out of the bag. It's a good deal for the price, but expect to do a little mending and fixing on this one."

Title: Nice costume overall Date: June 15, 2008
"A great dress for Helen of Troy--if you are blonde! As a previous rater said, the dress fits nice, but the shoulder jewel fell off during the first use! Other than that, a great buy!"

Title: Fun and sassy! Date: November 4, 2007
"This was a cute costume. I really felt good in this. I wasn't sure what type of material they used since it was not in the product details however, it was a material that stretched so it had some flexibility for different body frames. I didn't give it 5 stars on quality only because the faux "button" on the shoulder fell off while I was getting ready for the party. Other than that, it was well made."

Title: Very good choice! Date: October 27, 2007
"This costume is a lot of fun! It looks very grand, and the material is better than I expected. I ordered a small, but had to have it taken in a little... though I expected it. I am 5"5' and the costume was down to my ankles, so it is a fair length... and is overall a great costume."

Title: I like it! Date: October 2, 2007
"This costume is very fun. It fits well. I am 5 feet 8 inches tall and usually wear a size 8 in jeans but a large in a top. The medium costume fits very well and is even a good length. The gold trim on the costume looks very good and doesn't look like it's been poorly made. I'm really glad I chose this costume."
