   This is really high quality for what I paid. I am extremely happy with it.SIZE: I ordered a size larger than usual due to the fact I have an hour-glass shape, and it fits perfectly, though the top is just a bit low. Not a problem as I am wearing it to play Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Medeival styles required the covering of the head and décolletage with a head scarf. It is also a tad long. But I’m only 5’5″ and it looks like I can easily hem it with some iron-on hem tape.QUALITY: It is great quality FABRIC for a costume. The velvet isn’t see-through. It is good material that looks like it will last, and it has stretch to it, so it is very flattering. The DETAILING along the neckline is only stamped, not embroidery, but for $30, I’m not displeased. The CROWN is surprisingly thick and looks very realistic. Not cheap or thin or tinny looking. In fact, I think it is made of thick rubber, which gives it a hefty, very real look. I only wish the crown went all the way around, but it goes half-way then is kept in place with a good-sized black elastic. But I still prefer it to those aluminum/tin-like crowns that I’ve seen sell for $20! Sometimes these costumes are shown with accessories that aren’t included. The BELT shown is a ribbon of gold and silver on black. It is really beautiful and of good quality. It is actual embroidered ribbon, not a stamped pattern, and it goes on with a velcro attachment in back. the velcro section is quite long, so it has a huge amount of adjustability, which is also nice. I will definitely look for California Costumes brand when Halloween rolls around and my kids are looking for costumes.AMAZON SELLER: I was super impressed as it arrived BEFORE the earliest estimated delivery date and I chose regular shipping speed. Thank you, Pure Costumes Marketplace (seller).NOTES: I ordered this because of a time constraint and its price. And am extraordinarily pleased with it. I expected to use it as a fill-in this year and to get one of those “proper” expensive gowns (for hundreds of dollars) for next year, as I will continue to do this gig every year for the forseable future. But it is such a good costume, I’ll continue to use this one for years to come (and save a ton of money!).Because I like it so much, I will now just share this tidbit of information (which will not matter at all to most people who just want a pretty ancient-princess-type costume): Though listed as a Lady Guinevere costume (Arthurian legend is set in the 5th-6th c), this costume is not really Medeival. Necklines at that time were square, and there was no gathering or puffing of shoulders (as this costume has). The same remained true through the 12 c. during which time Eleanor of Aquitaine lived (though, her death occurred just prior to the Renaissance and a dramatic change in styles started to take place). Since I am playing Eleanor for an elementary school’s history section of study on the mid-Ages, and as I’m a history buff, I’d like this costume to be more accurate to the time period, but because the material looks so sturdy, I think I can make these adjustments to the costume on my own.

   For reference I am 5’3” and the dress hit the floor but not dragging for me. I have small chest but broad shoulders so the fit was okay for me on shoulders seam wise. You May want to wear a tank underneath if you are a little more conservative and don’t want to show too much skin or if you are like me there’s a slight gap because Chest doesn’t fill it all the way in but still flattering. The fit was a smiddgen too tight for my broad shoulders, still fits but I have to slowly and carefully put on and remove if it were to be placed from head first but I think sliding it up might have worked better.pros :- fits as chart stated- flattering fit even though I have mom belly it minimized it or didn’t make it more pronounced- color is very pretty- lightweightCons:- it seems to somewhat be sewn poorly or maybe I got a bad one but not sure I want to take the trouble to return it – there are areas popped or missing stitches which can pop and cause other stitching to come undone after probably a few wears or washes- if the price was $10 cheaper then I wouldn’t mind the cheap stitching as much- the jewels arrived unattached to the crown so you will need to get some sort of glue to reattach

   I love the design of this dress and it was comfortable from the waist down. It fit snugly around my chest, and I’m not busty. I am tall however and I do have broad shoulders, but a size large size in regular clothing always fits me. The dress looks in real life like the image on the website. There is a belt that is included but it’s not great quality. It could be worn for maybe for two to three wearings only because it curls up and doesn’t lay flat against the front of the dress. But it’s a Halloween costume, so superior quality isn’t expected. I was disappointed in the crown that is included because the one of the fake jewels fell out of the plastic headband as I was putting it on. Then when I put it away, all the jewels fell out. A better glue could be used. But overall, I was pleased with this costume. I’ll wear it again some other year too.

   Lovely lovely dress for the renaissance festival! I got many nice comments! I wear a 6-8 and I ordered a medium, it fit perfect! The headpiece was basic and cheap and when I wear it next time I will get something cute and more elegant to wear instead! Overall, great buy! I was impressed and it was beautiful!

   The dress fit well and was very very well made BUT this dress was not flattering on me at all which was such a bummer because this is a very nice dress.

   Had this dress in another size which was way too big on me. Bought the same one in my current size and it was perfect. Received many compliments and love the fabric and detail.

   The fit is exactly what I ordered, the material and craftsmanship is very good quality!! I’m very pleased with the dress AND the crown. The crown is rubber with an elastic band at the back. Perfect to hide under your hair. It stays on so much easier than a regular metal crown. Will be ordering the pink one!

   The outfit fit was adorable. Fit really well from my waist down but a bit tight at the arms and loose at the chest. Otherwise, incredible color and fabric.
