"I got this costume for a halloween party and it was a HIT. Everyone loved it (as did I.) I do wish the trim ran all the way around the skirt but it still looked great. I am a bit on the shorter side si the costume was a bit long waisted for me but all in all, it was great."

"This was a great costume! Very fun and everyone loved it!
I'm short - 5'2" and it fit well everywhere, but it was a little tight in the rib cage.
I would definitely recommend this one!"

"Costume does run true to size. For a while I thought leg avenue runs small, which is why i ordered a small instead of xsmall, but sort of wish I got the x-small instead. Costume is a little long for me, but I am only 5'1. My boyfriend and I will be matching this year for Halloween. It is definitely better with a petticoat underneath.
I am really looking forward to wear this sassy costume ;)"

Title: Amazing! Date: October 22, 2008
"I purchased this costume at Spirit Costume Store in Arizona, I decided to go to the store so I could see what I was getting and try the costume on. It was about $10 more in store, but I'd rather pay more and have the luxury of trying it on rather than deal with shipping and waiting in the event that it didnt fit or wasnt what I was expecting. Suprisingly the material and fit was amazing and Im very satisfied with it. I purchased a costume 3 yrs ago from this website and was extremely disappointed with what I got. But this costume is EXCELLENT. Not too short, not too long. I recommend getting a petticoat to give the costume that extra pop and finish. For all you ladies who are iffy on the size chart. Im 5'5", 130lbs, I have VERY long legs and wear a size 7 in jeans and the small fit me, a little snug in the waist but thats WITH the petticoat underneath, other than that I love this costume and would recommend it to anyone, I cant wait to wear it. If youre looking for something that is sexy but not overdone and look like your starving for attention, then you will be happy with this. Also, anything by Leg Avenue is made wonderfully and sexy yet classy. I also tried on their Bumble Bee ( small size and fit great ) costume which was adorable as ever, but I didnt feel like wearing wings, theyre a little annoying, lol :) Ooo...and the colors totally match the picture. I love it!"

Title: Its a wonderful costume Date: October 17, 2008
"I saw this costume at Party city and they didn't have my size plus I was thinking it was way too short. I was shocked when I got it in the mail today because its not too short but its not long at all either it fits great..I even bought the long petticoat thinking the costume was going to be really short..I don't even need the petticoat for the length because the costume is the perfect length (i'm 5'3) I'm still going to wear the petticoat for the bounce because it needs a little extra bounce to it.. The size was good it was a little big so I probably should have got the medium but the large still looks good and i'm glad I have some room to breathe in it. I CAN'T WAIT TILL HALLOWEEN SO I CAN WEAR IT. Believe me ladies this costume is sold out for good reason..don't think twice ladies just get it. btw this website was awesome as well I paid less for it..it was $85 at party city and only $50 here..the shipping was so fast I got it 5 days before it was expected to come and Monday the mail didn't even run so I got my costume in two days. I will shop on this website again next year and i've already told my friends about it as well."

"This costume is too cute!
I wanted something sexy but not too revealing and this was it.
I love the fit and the stockings make the costume!
It was a hit at every party.
I wear a size 2 or 4 dress and the small fit me well.
Make sure you buy a petticoat to go underneath it, It doesnt come with one but is the extra touch that makes it so adorable!"

"I bought this costume last year for Halloween, and it was a perfect fit, and it lasted the whole night with no faults! I even payed full price for it, and now its so much cheaper which makes it so much better! I loved the thigh highs, they really made the costume. But you have to make sure to get the petticoat, it wouldn't be the same without it. All in all it was the perfect costume, and I'm going to try and be Cupid this year and see how that goes!"

Title: So Cute!! Date: October 13, 2008
"This costume is not as short as the picture shows, altho, I am going to wear some boy shorts underneath. Do not go by the size chart, I couldn't even zip up a Large, but the XL is a bit too big. I usually wear a 10/12 dress size, but according to the size chart the XL is for a size 16/18.
I cannot wait to wear it!!"

Title: Two thumbs up Date: October 9, 2008
"This is the first time buying a costume off the internet through buycostumes.com and I am very pleased. The costume does run a bit on the small side so if you are between sizes I would opt for the bigger size. The costume is made from a good material and it is super cute. A petticoat and a beer purse makes the costume look even hotter. I have paid way more for other costumes that don't even come close to measuring up to this costume. This costume gets 5 stars across the board."

"I bought this for a Oktoberfest party and it was a hit. Quaility was great. I was hesitant about size becuase I am 5'11" however ended up ordering a med instead of the lg. I am glad I did because the med was on the larger size and it fit perfectly. The tear drop petti coat was a perfect fit with this costume too, a must to make the costume complete."
