"Very well made and we can't wait until the next time we go out to make someone's day!"

"This costume was not good quality. After an hour the straps were already ripping. I was shocked when I first received it and it looked like a poorly made version of the picture displayed."

Bottom Line

If you prioritize fit and quality, look elsewhere. For a cheap, last-minute costume that might need alterations, this could work. We recommend sizing up and being prepared to make modifications for a better fit. Look for better alternatives if durability and quality are more important to you.
