California CostumesLady in Waiting Costume Medium

I ordered this costume Sunday night and received it that Wednesday. Item was just as pictured. I ordered a M 8-10 and it fit perfectly. I am normally an 8 but sometimes a 10. The only negative thing I can say is that there is some crunchy material in the shoulders to give it a fuller look that is extremely itchy. I'm going to have to cover it or take it out because it's not wearable next to my skin. The costume is well made and very pretty. If California Costumes wanted to improve on this costume they should replace the itchy fabric in the shoulders and perhaps make the sleeves end in a point on the hand to complete the look.

For the price, this is a great costume. Hang it for about 2 days and the wrinkles will come out because it's polyester. As others noted, the shoulders ITCH because cheap, heavy netting was used to poof them. Grab a couple of padded inserts from a bra and safety pin them inside to cover that netting. It will improve the look and solve the itchiness. Add a chunky necklace to match the crown and you'll turn heads.

I bought this to wear to the PA Renaissance Faire and it was a great choice! I am 5'4, 125 lbs, 32D, and the small fit me just about everywhere. It was a little big around my collarbone so when I moved, it bagged a bit, but nothing bad. The sleeves were just the right length (but a bit hard to get in and out of), and the skirt was just a titch too long for me in my flats. I stepped on it when I wasn't being conscious of it, which was a tad annoying, but I expected that when I bought it.The only thing I didn't like was the meshy material in the shoulders to keep it poofy. It was scratchy and did not even provide a decent amount of poof to make it worth it. When I wear it in the future, I'm going to do something to fix that. I almost forgot to mention the crown because I threw it in the garbage immediately- the stones had fallen off during transit, a quick fix, I know, but the plastic material was heavy and silly looking and I knew I would never wear it.Overall, I was happy with my purchase and would recommend it!

I really like the way this looks and it shipped super fast! Problems I have with it: the jewels fell off the crown within minutes of wearing it, the top doesn't really fit me right I think I'll have to take in the shoulder area to make it fit right which is really weird because I'm a DDDD in bra size so if I have too much room the average person is going to be drowning, finally they have some tulle in the shoulders to make your shoulders look puffy, but they don't cover it so it's right on your skin--ouch! Within minutes my shoulders were hurting, I guess I'll either pull it out (which will make the top even bigger or I'll have to figure out a way to sew some fabric between it and my poor shoulders. Really like the dress it's super pretty just doesn't seem as well made as I had expected for the price I paid.

This costume was BEAUTIFUL!! It fit exactly how I wanted it to!! I LOVE IT!! I'm 5'7 135lbs and a Small was PERFECT!! It's just the right length, goes right to the bottom of my feet without dragging, the sleeves are the perfect length for my arms and the quality is pretty good for being a relatively inexpensive Halloween costume.. I will recommend it to anyone and everyone! The "itchy" shoulder pads weren't an issue for me.. I've worn it for about two hours and it itched at first but after about 10-15 minutes I didn't notice it AT ALL! It's an easy fix if it bothers you though, just cut it out.. And the crown seemed like good quality to me, the jewels might come off for some, but didn't for me, if it's an issue just glue them on better :-)

This is a super cute option for the Renaissance Festival. But there are some things you should know when ordering.This runs smaaallll! I sized up to a medium and it’s still pretty tight in some spots, like the elastic at the upper arms, and the waist is just big enough for me I’m usually a size 4/27 these days. I’d highly recommend sizing up two sizes. Especially since I here’s no zipper and it is a challenge to put on. The fabric is thin and there is no stretch. But once it’s on, it’s comfortable enough, though the shoulders are a bit scratchy. The length is great. I’m 5’4” and this will be perfect with some small heels. The chest is a great fit for me at a 34DD.Quality is fine for a costume, but it’s not impressive.

Really nice costume for the price! Well made, colors are gorgeous. The size medium was too large for me. To help with sizing. I’m 5’6. 34DD (the top of this dress is really big). The sleeves are pretty slim. So that may be an issue for some* My Waist size 27, hips, 37. Just too big overall. I could’ve pulled it off. But it felt too large. It’s also full length, but would need a heel or boot, if you are 5’6 or so (it’s long).

Me encantó el disfraz. Llegó super rápido, es de buena calidad y se ve muy bien. Amé la coronita que trae, aunque hay que estar listos con kola loka para pegarle las piedritas, porque vienen sueltas. Lavar con mucho cuidado.

Soirée médiévale.

Costume de bonne qualité! Les couleurs sont vives, idéal à porter pour une soirée carnavalesque.Je mesure 1m59 et j ai pris une taille S/MLa couronne se maintient par un élastique sur l arrière

Absolutely beautiful costume!!! fit great. unfortunately my biceps are a bit too big to fit the dress and I didn't have time to fix it before the medieval faire I was attending. So I had to return it. Other then that I DEFINITELY recommend this dress!!!

Sehr schönes Kleid wie abgebildet, der Stoff ist super angenehm zu tragen, außer oben an den Schultern kratzt es wo innen der schwarze Tüllstoff vernäht wurde. Kann das Kleid weiter empfehlen😁 Preis ist etwas hoch aber Qualität hat halt ihren Preis..
