Women's Spartan Queen Costume
I received my costume this morning! I ordered through Amazon, and as always it was here in 2 days! (I'm a Prime) It came in a package like you would see at any store. I purchased the size Small (6-8) and the fit was incredible! I'm about 5'1"-5'2" and weigh about 105 or so. It ties at the neck, and at the waist, so there really is a bit of flexibility in the sizing I think. The elastic fits low on the hips, and is a little bulky, but nothing terrible. I was amazed at how thick the fabric was, and there is double thick fabric at the bust area, and quite a bit of coverage.(I'm a 34C) The trim looks really nice too! The little armband, had a little too much elastic exposed for my taste, but doesn't really take away from the overall look. I put this on and felt like a Goddess! This is a really great costume, especially for the price! It really does look way more expensive! Hope this helps! Happy Halloween!

Sexy Swashbuckler Costume
Alright, overall it's pretty good. It's cheap, but it will work for a few good runs. Here's the layout:
Reference: I bought a large, and my measurements are: Bust: 39 inches (c-cup). Waist: 35 inches. Hips:
39 inches. Height: 5'4". The costume fits snugly.
The top:
You've probably read other reviews, and they all say the top is too short, and it is. I'm 5'4" with a short torso, and it's still short. It doesn't matter if you're short or tall, with a long or short torso, the top will always be rather short because of the way it's cut. You have to pull the skirt up pretty high so that no skin peeks out between the skirt and the top. It's not terrible, but it's annoying. The top is a zip-up back, and the material is pretty stretchy, which is a plus. The faux corset front is fragile, so DO NOT PULL ON THE STRINGS. I repeat: DO NOT PULL ON THE STRINGS. I decided to try to pull the strings just a little bit tighter so that it would look better in the front, and I pulled one of the eyelets off. I had to sew it back on-- like I said, it's cheap.
The belt:
It's crap. The waist measurement (I got a large, and they described that as up to 31 inches), is for the belt, not the top. The belt has nothing to really hook in to, so the weight of the buckle will cause it to fall off. Unless you have the perfect hourglass body, you won't be able to use it. It's made out of a stretchy plastic material that crinkles up if you pull it too tight.
The skirt:
By far the best thing about the costume. It's made out of better material, and it has an elastic waistband. Because the costume doesn't come with a petticoat, you might want to look into buying one. On me, it has about eight inches in the front before things get a little too personal, but it is pretty breezy. Meaning on a windy Halloween night, without a petticoat, you might find yourself holding the skirt down. It's a little shorter than mid-thigh, and overall, pretty good.
The Hat:
Buy a new one. It's crap, like the belt. You can't really do anything to make it better; unless you have a big head, it fits loosely, the feather will most likely be broken, and the hat itself is sewn unevenly. However, I don't feel like spending the money on a new hat, so I'm going to just roll with this one.
Sleeves:
These are fine. No complaints. Looks just like the picture.
Conclusion:
So, it depends on what you want. I think this costume will probably work for a few uses then probably hit its limit. If you were looking for a super durable, well made and overall awesome costume, look elsewhere. I like it, it fits me well (minus the belt), and other than the hat, everything is in working order. It's definitely what you paid for.

Women's Two-Piece Gretchen Costume
Well I am a size 16-18, and I ordered a 3-4x just in case I needed the extra room. I honestly loved this outfit, if you are a bit more shy and and dont want to show all your goodies, then this is definitely an outfit of choice for you. The skirt came down to a tad above my knees, and it wasnt to short in the back, so it covers your backside. I also didnt need a petticoat because of the length. It's all around flattering and the dress i recieved was very well put together, and didnt look like some cheap costume. It was worth the money spent on it, and I am definitely going to find as many halloween parties as possible to wear it to.
After reading other reviews the one thing I saw was that ordering the next size bigger was a good choice. They were all right. I was on the fence about what size to use, and I ordered the next size up; and it fits perfectly. The costume is beautiful and is made from good material. Some sellers include the stockings with your costume order, so if you want/need them make sure you read from the seller exactly what is included in your order.
