Title: Fits perfectly! Date: October 7, 2008
"I ordered this costume in a size L along with the Gothic Vampira Elite in a size XL because I wasn't sure which would fit better (I am a size 14 woman) and I wanted to know what the actual difference between the Elite and the Ultimate Elite versions was. I am going to keep this costume and return the XL Elite version because I think that this costume is a much better fit. The dress on the XL Elite version was a little bit too short to cover the top of the included petticoat but the length of this dress is perfect. The sleeves were a bit tight on the XL Elite version as well but this costume fits me perfectly. The costume looks exactly like the picture, including the color. The only other difference that I can tell between the Elite and the Ultimate Elite aside from the fit is the quality of the petticoat. This costume offers a much fuller version. The only downside is that the petticoat is pulling off at the waistband and needs some quick stitching to fix it. Nothing major at all, though. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to others."

Title: Helpful reviews Date: September 22, 2008
"I would not have purchased the correct size had I not read the reviews on this site! Compared with the other Gothic Vampire costume (in bright red and black), this one runs really big. The XL in the other was too snug but the L in this style was PERFECT. Thansk, buycostumes.com, for soliciting feedback. It proved very helpful in getting the right costume.

Add fangs, a black vampiress wig and some heavy eyeliner and I'm ready for the 31st!"

Title: Beautiful costume! Date: September 14, 2008
"I originally ordered this costume through another website, but have come back to buycostumes.com to buy accessories and even a costume for next year, since I was so happy with the quality of this dress. It even came in a heavy plastic garment bag with a zipper - I was impressed.
The quality of the costume and fit are great! (the only thing I might change is adding a zipper to the dress) Beautiful fabric, the lace underskirt is very full (you could probably use it under another dress if you needed one). I love the way the lace drapes on the sleeves.
I'm really looking forward to wearing this!"

Title: Disastrous Date: December 18, 2007
"This was my first time ordering from this site, and hopefully, my last. Though I will admit that the dress materials were nothing short of great, I do have complaints.
I’m fully aware of the measurements and that I do fit into the medium range. Sadly, when I tried on the dress it draped over me very much like a loosely fitted bed sheet would. But what really disappointed me was the fact that my dress was asymmetric.
The left sleeve was a quarter shorter than in the image with only one layer of crinoline. (There seems to be two layers in the picture; one on top of another.) The right sleeve was a bit longer than shown in the image. The odd part was that the right arm had the layer of crinoline a little bit above the elbow, as shown in the picture, but then it had yet another layer of crinoline a little more than half way down my forearm! At which point the sleeve carried on all the way to wrist. It’s as if they added another end of a sleeve to my right sleeve. It looks completely ridiculous!"

"This costume was pretty nice. Well made for the price and fun to put on. Being 5'10 in height it fit great in length. My only problem was it had to be returned as the 1X was too big. Made me feel good! The XL would fit better."

Title: most beautiful, well-made costume I've ever had! Date: November 6, 2007
"This really is a gorgeous empire cut gown that is breathtaking on us amply endowed women who want to show off some of our curves but take attention away from those annoying tummy & thigh areas that most sexy costumes seem to unfortunately emphasize. It looks beautiful with or without the crinoline-- which is of such excellent quality you could totally use it as a non-costume garment! I got so many compliments-- the ultimate one from my Goth 365-days a year sister who upon seeing my Halloween pix online emailed, "I want your dress!" The only disappointment was the choker-- for how excellently everything else was made, it was really cheesy looking. I'd recommend just getting a velvet ribbon to wear--much classier!"

"THE REPS ON THE PHONE WERE VERY NICE AND HELPFUL! WHEN MY COSTUME ARRIVED IT WAS IN IT'S OWN ZIPPER BAG WITH A HANDLE SEWED ON THE BACK SO YOU CAN FOLD IT UP AND STORE IT EASILY IN YOUR CLOSET. THE MATERIAL WAS EXCELLENT ALTHOUGH IT DID RUN A LTTLE BIT BIG IN SIZE. IT WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL! I HAD A LOT OF COMPLEMENTS AND EVERYONE WANTED TO KNOW WHERE I GOT IT AND OF COURSE I SAID BUYCOSTUMES.COM. I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE!! THANKS FOR MAKING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GOWN AND I WILL BE SURE TO MAKE ANOTHER PURCHASE FROM YOUR SITE NEXT YEAR OR WHENEVER I NEED ANOTHER COSTUME!"

Title: Beautuifl Costume Date: October 25, 2007
"Bought this costume for my fiance. She also fits in the 2x sizing catagory as the other review posted. Dress fits large on here as well, plus we didn't realize that there was a diffrerence in color till after we got it. Elite=red, Ultimate=Burgandy. We had bought a red mask to use with it, so we were gonna send it back and get a size smaller in the Elite. However the 1x was sold out. Fiance says that dress may not fit perfect but its comfortable enough and it looks great on her. She is paring it with a black wig and a black/silver masquarade mask."

Title: Runs big! Date: October 20, 2007
"Very nice costume dress and petticoat, but the thing that surprised me is that I am on the upper side of the measurements of a 2x according to the chart, but the costume runs a little big on me even then. I have a big bust and fat arms and it still fit a little too loosely! A little less stiff sizing in the costume lace would be nice too. I love the costume though and will have a fun time wearing it!"

Title: Quite Impressed Date: October 16, 2007
"I was excited to receive my order today (only a couple of days to arrive which was a great start!). I was immediately impressed with the packaging (not all squished in a tiny bag) but actually came on a hanger in a reusable garment bag. This tells alot about a costume! The costume it's self was quite remarkable (great quality, looks like it does in the picture and the detailing is excuisite).
Sizing however, not too sure about. I ordered the large, which seems a wee bit big on me although my measurements did fit in the range for the large. So for me, it fit a little bigger than anticipated. Can't wait to wear it!"
