Title: Great Costume

"After reading several reviews where people were not that happy with this purchase, I was pleasantly surprised, I thought it was great. The costume was a little big, I could have ordered a size smaller, I think it runs true to size for dresses. I followed the suggestion of one of the reviews and cut the cap into more of a headband, and I thought it was great. I made matching cobra snake earrings from kids $1 store toys. My only issue was with the leg wraps, they did not stay up, and I ended up taking them off. May have had more to do with my legs, than the wraps though. Lot's of compliments, great costume!"

Title: Average Costume
Date: November 1, 2008
"The costume itself runs a little large. The headpiece is a little on the tacky side. Had to purchase rubber snakes to place in hair for a more realistic look."

Title: Very cool costume!
Date: November 1, 2008
"I had similar issues as some of the other reviewers with the bunching in the back. I used double sided body tape to help fix it. I also had to use the tape to keep the arm bands on as they kept falling down. The headpiece fit well, even wore a wig underneath it. I didn't bother with the leg wraps - they didn't seem long enough to get the same effect as the picture shows and I'm sure I would have had to use the tape to hold those up as well.
Overall I thought it was a great costume and I was quite happy with it."

Title: Medusa Costume
Date: October 31, 2008
"Excellent costume! Sexy, yet not too revealing. Headpiece is not as it appears on the website, snakes are smaller, but workable with a long hair wig (purchased separately). I'm 5'0", the dress was a little too long even w/ heels. Overall, I'm satisfied with the costume. It's very comfortable and I got a lot of compliments! Great buy for price! Also excellent customer service from buycostumes.com =)"
"I just purchased this costume this year and will wear it tonight. I as well as some of the other reviewers had some issues with the head piece. I believe the elastic is supposed to go behind the head but my head is too small to fit it so I bought a mop and coloured some strands silver and some green, fixed it in the back to look like a partial updo and the headpiece fits great now and you don't see the elastic under the "wig".
The back of the dress also bunches for me but this is due to the light fabric and the length of the zipper. I fixed it with a couple safety pins and hopefully will win 1st prize with this costume!
I also will used double sided tape to hold the leg ties on, I don't think they will stay up on their own."

Title: Love This Costume
Date: October 29, 2008
"This is a really great costume. I am a size 8, I bought the medium, and it fit perfectly except for a slight bunching on the back that I expected since I had read reviews from previous purchasers. It's really great for someone with a small waistline. I think the quality is very good for a Halloween costume. I saw that some people had trouble with the headpiece. I had no trouble at all. I even had to wear it over a wig because I have very short hair. I sprayed a little gold hairspray on it to give it a little extra something, and people raved about it. It's a sexy costume without being over the top. My husband loves it. The only surprise was that the back is very open (the front is held up by straps that tie behind your neck) so if you're going to be someplace chilly, you need to keep that in mind. This is the second year I've bought my costume from buycostumes.com. I have been very happy both times and am telling everyone about it."

Title: cool costume
Date: October 29, 2008
"this is a pretty cool costume. Looks just like the picture. fits pretty good and no complaints. I'm not sure about the head piece yet. It is a rubber cap with a elastic band under the chin. Either it's for someone with a big head or I'm wearing it wrong. I will have to make adjustments or make my own wig. I can't wait to wear this at halloween though, it is going to be fun! I am making a snake staff out of a mop handle, I have red fake nails, black lipstick, and am hopefullly going to get some green snake eye looking contacts."

Title: Great costume

"This was the best costume ever. I actually even won a costume contest with it. I bought the swamp queen wig to go with it that Spirit sells and did my makeup like the lady in the picture. People told me all night long how gorgeous I looked. It was great."

Title: Does not disappoint

"This is a fun costume that will turn heads. (Of course, from the pics you can see I took a few liberties with alterations.) First of all, the headpiece looks like a swimcap. I took a pair of scissors to it, cutting it to a width of about two inches to make it more of a headband, then weaved my hair through it. I had no problems with it - the snakes still stood up great. The dress is REALLY long, so I cut of some of that, too. I also had to cut the front and turn it into a v-neck (the halter-style made me look WAY bigger than the C I am)."

Title: Very cool costume
Date: October 26, 2008
"Cosutme looks much nicer in person than it does in the online picture. Good quality costume for the price. I'm usually a large and so I ordered a large in the costume. However, I found that the costume fit a little loose. I would probably recommend getting a smaller size. I'm 5'1 and the costume is pretty long even when I'm wearing 4 inch heels. Headpiece is decent but some of the snakes were flopping around. Also the sleeves fit big. Overall, I really like the costume I cant wait to wear it."

Title: Modern take on medusa
Date: October 23, 2008
"I received my costume, like others I was dissapointed in the headpiece. Did not look like the picture on website at all. It looks cheap. Not as many snakes and the snakes do not have open mouths like the picture. The headpiece is what made me purchase the costume so I was a little dissapointed. The dress looks exactly like website, good quality for a costume. My leg ties were missing from my package but customer service at Buycostumes is great and offered me a replacement. I'm going to try to add to my headpiece somehow."

Title: Not What I Expected
Date: October 21, 2008
"I was kind of disappointed about the headpiece and the sleevelets. One of the things that really attracted my attention to this costume was the original headpiece on the picture. The one that was sent to me looked plain compared to the picture. It altered the "LOOK" i wanted. The sleevelets have only one hanging sheet, where the original had 2. It just looks totally different."

Title: Nice Costume
Date: October 12, 2008
"I read the reviews and even though some people said the headpiece was not that great, I though it was fine. The costume is not the most extraordinary quality but its much better than most costumes out there that feel cheap. I am a 4-5 size and bought a small size and it fitted me perfectly, no adjustment necessary. I think its a sexy costume that fits nicely and is not too revealing."

Title: Medusa
Date: October 8, 2008
"I am a small and the dress fits very well, the headpeice is not as it seems. The snakes are fewer and smaller and have no characteristics. Its a headpeice which you would have to cover somehow but there is nothing to cover it with, you would have to be creative or buy a wig. Without doing the make-up and dressing up the headpeice the costumes really isn't medusa. It is good quality clothing though and very comfortable."

"I thought this costume was great for the price. Only problem for me was the headpiece. It was too big, so I'll have to try to attach it to a headband of some sort or tie a knot in the elastic band. Also couldn't find the wig pictured, but found another one with the same color green! All in all, I thought it was great! And the snakes look like the picture!"
