   My daughter needed this for a sorority event (Lord knows). She sent me the link to order for her, at least she said please this time, Before I ordered I read the reviews and noticed many saying the dress was tight through the hips.I called her and mentioned that to her, and asked that she review her size, Of course that was an INSULT.Anyway, when I did not hear back I ordered her original request size. The pico-second I hit the buy button the phone rang and she said OK, get the bigger size. Amazon was great about cancelling the first order.Just got an email yesterday, “The dress arrived, thank you. It is HUGE. I think I can use safety pins to fix it. I know I should have gotten the smaller size.” Talk about a poke in the eye, when I bought her the damn dress!So, it sometimes sucks to be the dad and I am not sure this dress is as small as some think!

   I accidentally ordered this in a x-large which according to the size chart is for a 12-14, i’m usually more of a 14-16 which would have been a XXlarge or plus. I didn’t realize this error until after it shipped. I read other reviews which stated this dress ran very small and was short and even recommended to order a size up which made me nervous because according to the measurements on the size chart, this never would fit me with the size i had ordered. I tried it on anyways and I’m glad I did, the X-large fits me perfect and I’m not easy to fit, especially with dresses. I’m 5’7, a 38 DD and more broad across the shoulders with a rectangular torso, like no hip indentations lol but the X-large is dead on, not tight at all, i’m comfortable and have extra room. It hits about 2.5 inches above my knee which i wouldn’t consider “short” with my arms at my sides my finger tips is about the length of this dress. The only thing I will say is yes it is more fitting around the hip area as this dress is supposed to be like a sheath dress, if you are more hippy or pear shaped, this may not work for you or size up. The head piece that is included is nothing special, elastic with sequins and a feather, kind of scratchy to wear. I ordered another headpiece separately and it just looked nicer and better quality it was silky and more comfortable. Overall this costume looked great 🙂

   This was a great costume purchase! I planned a surprise gangster party for my wife’s 45th birthday this year. I bought this costume without her input, but what a great purchase! I followed the fit guide provided by California Costumes and bought her a size small. My wife is petite. She is 5’3″ tall and weights about 105 pounds. The costume fit perfectly and she said it was very comfortable. I had purchased California Costumes in the past, and had knowledge of what a quality costume they make. This costume was just as pictured in the description and it was a great hit with my wonderful bride. The costume held up well, and I was able to fold the costume back up and put it in the original packaging again and we will use it for a Halloween event sometime in the future. California Costumes really does a great job. We currently have three California Costumes, and I would definitely purchase from them again. Their fit guides and descriptions are consistent with the actual product, and the quality can’t be beat. I have included a picture of us in our costumes…her is the California Costume, mine is just a deconstructed suit that I made into a gangster costume. (P.S. The gray boa, the pearls, the hose, and shoes on my wife’s costume were purchased separately, they are not included in the original costume,but they really added some great detail)

   10-24-18 UPDATE: This dress held up very well at school with no issues (and yes, she received extra credit!). It is still hanging in my daughter’s closet (unlike other costumes/prom dresses we’ve purchased) because it is still in excellent condition.———While I say it is somewhat large, it is not excessively so. It is actually more between ‘fit as expected’ and ‘somewhat large’. I ordered a medium for my daughter (5’8, 130 lb) and it fit her almost perfectly. A little looser (meaning, not skin tight) and a little longer than expected. The ‘little longer than expected’ was a positive as this costume was to be for her to get extra credit at school. The skirt in the picture shows it a little shorter than I think would have been allowed for regular skirts in school, so the fact it was a little longer than the picture is a good thing!While it came packaged in a plastic bag, the quality was much better than I expected for the price. It does not seems as though the fringe will be falling off, which is good.The dress is slightly low in back, but not excessively so and the front is pretty modest. The straps of the dress have fringe on them (didn’t notice it in the pics).Overall, very impressed with the quality of this product for the price. Very good value.Will update with how well it wore while my daughter was at school. She has to wear it to school for a ‘prohibition party’ in a class, so I will know exactly how well it holds up.

   This dress was better than expected! I bought it last minute and I was scared it was going to be too short, but it was actually quite a bit longer than expected. I got a small and im 5’4 and about 120lbs and I had plenty of room, despite the measurements of the size chart listed. It was loose and hid my belly, which I loved. I’d say quality was better than expected too. I hardly lost any strings. I didnt care for the headpiece though, that was kinda lower quality, but still cute. Overall I’d totally recommend
