Brooke Shoes

Caroline — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:34:02 GMT

I bought the Brooke shoes. They are just great so comfortable. They look so high and like they would be terrible but they were great I had them on all night , even played games in them! I did have a few people say they look like stripper shoes...??? My response was "How do you know?" LOL

I love them!

Brass Knuckle Betty

"This is a really fantastic costume, but you definitely need to go a size up! I'm 5"11, 162lb and my measurements are Bust: 35.5, Waist: 29.5 and Hips: 38. I bought this costume for my boyfriend's sister to wear to a black-and-white themed party and we're the same dress size, therefore we both had exactly the same problem - it fit comfortably at the top but the part that passes over the hips was a little too tight and gaped a little because of the strain on the bottom-most button. Other than the fit, however, it's a really adorable costume. The tie is a little longer than pictured as other reviewers have stated but not TOO long. I bought the hat as well and it goes perfectly with the costume. The belt was really nice but because I had to do it so tight I had a lot of extra length sticking out and no way to keep it back, so I'll have to safety pin it or something. But you definitely can't wear the dress without it, it just doesn't look the same. Overall I definitely recommend this costume, but be very careful with the fit."

70's Disco Mama

ocelotzgurl — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 09:55:26 GMT

"I loved this costume :) I'm 5"11, 162lb and my measurements are Bust: 35.5, Waist: 29.5 and Hips: 38. I got the Medium/Large and the fit was absolutely great. It was easy to get into and not too tight. The colours are wicked and the belt looks great! The belt is different at the back though, instead of buckling it you tie it at the back, which is handy if you need to pull in the waist a little. Another thing though, the pant legs are very wide and very easy to trip on, even for someone of my height! But as long as you're careful you should have no other problems with this costume. I was afraid it might be one of those costumes that should only be worn by super-skinny models but it's very forgiving and could easily be worn by my 53-year-old mother. Overall I really recommend it!"

Pirate

Caroline — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:51:58 GMT

I just got my package today. Pirate stuff. I know, I know a little early for next year but it was on sale!! A creepy deck hand costume and some other bits and pieces! Very happy with them all..Oh and a pirate hat for me. I still have to get my costume but I have a whole year!! LOL

Soldier Girl

ocelotzgurl — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 03:45:35 GMT

"This costume is great! I'm 5"11, 165lb and my measurements are Bust: 35.5, Waist: 29.5 and Hips: 38. I got the Medium and it's a great fit. I thought it would be too short but it's a lot longer than I was expecting, in fact long enough so that I can actually go out in public while wearing it (shock, horror!) It's strapless but it comes with a set of clear straps if you prefer them (it doesn't matter either way since the jacket would cover the straps). There's no zip, you just pull it over your head but it's no problem because the material is nice and stretchy. The hat is stretchy too and fits comfortably. I love camouflage and this is so perfect :) Great for the price."

new 2009 flower costume for babies

mjavajuice27 — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:34:21 GMT

okay..my baby's first halloween was coming and i had no idea what to buy for her. my 1st child was a cow, my 2nd was a chicken, so i was thinking maybe something in the farm animal area for my 3rd, lol. but when i saw this cute flower costume for my daughter, i fell in love, and thought it would be perfect. i ordered it and OMG, this was the cutest thing ever!! a beautifully made green jumpsut with a zip up back, and a flower petal headpiece that completely covered the back of her head which was great because it was a little chilly that evening. all in all this had to be the best costume i have ever purchased.

ghost rider

mjavajuice27 — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:22:55 GMT

wow! my 5yo son wanted to be GHOST RIDER for Halloween and i couldn't find it in any store that i went to. I finally found it on here and both my son and i were extremely excited. when we received it, i had to force my son to take it off. he LOVED it!! it was made very well and the mask fit him really good. (usually he hates having a mask on) when i took him trick-or-treating, he was the only GHOST RIDER around, and everyone was wowed at the way he looked. it turned out to be a really awesome Halloween after all.

Saddle Up Wild West

ocelotzgurl — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 03:44:45 GMT

"This costume looks good but is not true to size. I'm 5"11, 165lb and my measurements are Bust: 35.5, Waist: 29.5 and Hips: 38. I got the Medium, which I always get, and it was WAY too small. I couldn't even get it on to take a photo. Putting aside the size, however, it's a very cute costume. The hat is good quality and the boot toppers are very cute. The skirt doesn't seem to flare out as much as in the picture though, it's very narrow. Since I couldn't get it on I couldn't tell exactly how short it would be but judging by how far I got before I called it quits I would say it's very short. If you do want to have a crack at this costume I recommend going a size up, and be prepared for it to be short. Everything else is great though."

Viking Princess

ocelotzgurl — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:16:52 GMT

"This is a really beautiful costume :) I'm 5"11, 165lb and my measurements are Bust: 35.5, Waist: 29.5 and Hips: 38. I got the Medium and it was actually a little big from the waist up; however, I feel that if I got a size smaller it would be too tight around my hips. My upper body is slightly smaller than my lower body so if you're better proportioned you might have a little more luck. Putting aside the fit, however, the costume is really beautiful. The dress is long though so if you're shorter it may drag on the ground. The cape is attached to the dress but it's easy to throw it out of the way so you can zip the dress up. The gloves are cute and comfortable, and the costume also comes with the necklace in the picture. I'm glad it does because your chest looks pretty bare without it. The headpiece looks really cool, however it does up with velcro and it was a little tight on my head, so if you've got a biggish head you may have trouble keeping it on. Overall though, beautiful costume if you can get it to fit properly."

Pumpkin Spice

It was all right. Most didn't know what it was. I wore out the fake boots from walking around all night.

Just got them! Love them! They fit nicely and look great with the laceup thigh highs i already had.

Appallingly Poor Customer Service

sanbao_3399 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:32:00 GMT

I was appalled by the horrific customer service I experienced here. I ordered a witch costume on 10/20, and the product was shipped to a previous address in another state! As this was an address I no longer even remembered, it was impossible that I may have "accidentally" entered it into the system, which is what the lovely supervisor kept insisting on. I was not refunded at the very least for the costume itself, nor did they offer to resend another one. I will NEVER shop at this site again, and I will also recommend against shopping here to all my friends and family.

Cleopatra Elite Collection

ocelotzgurl — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:15:03 GMT

"This is a fantastic costume! I'm 5"11, 165lb and my measurements are Bust: 35.5, Waist: 29.5 and Hips: 38. I got the Medium and it's a perfect fit. I read other people's reviews about how the costume is too small in the chest area, and after trying it on I have to agree - however, it worked well for me because I'm slightly smaller from the waist up than I am from the hips down. The dress is quite long though, so if you're not tall it would probably drag on the ground. There's a zip up the back and the neck piece is separate from the dress - it's elastic and you pull it over your head. The beaded headpiece looks much better than I thought it would; however when I first took it out of the packet one of the beads fell off. The cape feels like wings and the stretchy elastic is comfortable on your upper arms and wrists. I thought the cape might drag on the ground when you put your arms down - it doesn't for me but again, I'm quite tall so if you're shorter it might drag for you. Overall though I'm really pleased with this purchase, it was well worth the price."

Sexy Gold Shoes

ocelotzgurl — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:13:42 GMT

"I'm an Australian size 10 in shoes and I've found that a US 10 has always been pretty close to that from this site. I read the reviews and saw that most people recommended going a size up, which I obviously can't since a 10 is as high as they go. So naturally I was worried that they wouldn't fit. When I tried them on I found that they were probably a little smaller than usual, but since they're open shoes it doesn't really seem to matter too much. It's only really a problem with closed-in shoes where my toes get squashed. Having said that though, I found the calf straps more uncomfortable than the shoes themselves. I have biggish calves and although I could get the straps done up, they cut into my skin and weren't that comfortable, so if you have large calves I wouldn't recommend these shoes. The height of the heel didn't bother me because I'm used to wearing very high heels, but I wouldn't wear them to a party I was going to dance at all night. It'll be fine if you plan on sitting down for most of the night. Overall, these are very nice shoes so it's a shame they're too tight on my calves."

Getting a little worried...

Bliss — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 05:56:29 GMT

So I ordered something pretty last minute, but shipping was guaranteed by the 30th. It shipped out fast and I got the tracking info, which estimated the arrival date as the 29th (tomorrow). Awesome, right? But there hasn't been an update on the tracking since Monday the 26th when it left from somewhere in IL. Shouldn't it be checking in and out of other facilities on its way to California? It still shows it as being "In transit - On time" but I'm worried. If it's lost somewhere and doesn't make it in time I don't have a back up and I've spent quite a bit on this costume already.

Is this common? I'm getting so much anxiety over this! D:

Watchmen Rorschach

marc.blefare — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:50:06 GMT

I was really impressed with the deliver time.The costume not so much. The mask is nice comfortable, the rest of the costume is just cheap.

I don't expect an amazing costume for 60 dollars but the hat is just cheap fuzzy carboard, the glove are horrible - almost hand shaped (but not quite),l the "coat" is a more like a woman's house coat, just cheaply made.

If you are interested in the costume get he mask - its nice comfortable and fits well, the rest of the stuff buy at a used clothing store - it will cost less and will defiantly look better

"This is a really cute costume! I'm 5"11, 165lb and my measurements are Bust: 35.5, Waist: 29.5 and Hips: 38. I got the Medium which fits perfectly, but unfortunately as I expected it's very short so you definitely need a petticoat. The slit in the skirt goes right up to the waist so you really need a thick layered petticoat that you can't see through and/or booty shorts. Other than that though it's an adorable costume :) The headband on the model looks kind of funny; I thought it looked better in the flesh because the feather sticks up more like a proper saloon girl. The costume has shoulder straps which are good and the fringe bits do fall down a little but it doesn't make it look bad. Anyway, once you raise your arms you realise why they're that loose! The garter is good because it's not too tight and doesn't cut into your leg. The choker is velcro so you can make it as tight or as loose as you want. The feather boa sheds everywhere but you'd expect that from any feather boa. Overall I'm really pleased with this costume, it's cheap, comes with a lot of accessories and is really cute :)"

Sexy Venus

Princess Pynkk — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:15:04 GMT

So I actually picked this costume up from a store near my house, but as it is the same costume, I figured I could still post what I thought about it (since I was planning on ordering it here till I found it in the store). :3

I was very impressed with the costume. It looked pretty much just like the pictures, with the white being slightly more ivory and the pink just a bit more vibrant. The headband is a little bit different, but it's better for it; the gold embroidery is interwoven with pink, which makes it very unique and elegant.

I definitely recommend this costume. ^_^

"My friend wore this to a halloween party, but I ordered it for her. I liked that it came with the gloves and a blow up bat..Im not sure that it said that in the description. The quality was good and didnt look cheap..just wish the colors were white and blue instead!!"

I'm very unsatisfied with Buy Costumes, they keep pushing my order back and i'm not sure if i'll ever order from them again.
