Review on Stunning High-Waisted Pleated Skirts For Women'S Cosplay Costumes By Beautifulfashionlife by Chris Webb

Ordered this for my daughter in XL in Dark Blue Mixed White to match the Nuotuo Womens British Style High School Uniform Sets for Halloween, because I anticipated the skirt that came with the uniform set to be too small. She absolutely loves it. I'm very grateful for Ace's detailed and thorough review & updates on this skirt. Everything she said is 100% accurate. For reference, my daughter is 5' 8" & 3/4, 155-158 lbs. Chest & shoulders: 41" (104.14 cm). Waist: 30" (76.2 cm). Hips: 41" (104.14 cm). She gives it a 10/10.CAUTION:1) With all Asian-sized apparel, never go by Revain clothing sizes, your normal clothing size number, or even the sizing listed under Product Description (section located right beneath the Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought.). Read The Entire Page to look for Any discrepancy in size listings. If sizing in the Product Description section does not match the size list under the Color Selections exactly word-for-word, click on Every Color to see if the page reloads or size description changes. Even if the store/warehouse is US-based or has Fulfilled By Revain (FBA) guarantee, as long as it's mostly Asian girl models in pics or comments say fit is small, check to see where it is manufactured. If it's not a reputable company like Ann Taylor, J.Crew, Ralph Lauren, Gap, etc, the factories can still have higher-error margins in Western sizing. And that is a big-enough risk with online shopping because it's such a hassle to return stuff and return shipping can cost more than the item itself.2) Even though most of these sellers declare Asian Sizing, different factories & different brands can still vary. Depending on how big/small or reputable a brand may be, not every factory has tight quality control. Many retail clothing companies use vanity sizing as a marketing technique, even in Asian markets overseas. Use a clothing tape to measure yourself for the most accurate, reliable info. If the size listing is ambiguous in any way, email them directly for clarification if possible. This way, if it's a reputable brand, you'll have a record of their words as evidence. If not, a lack of physical address, phone number, or sometimes a fishy email address, you'll have a more reliable gut feeling. Google their company name/info and even check Ebay (I've seen some sellers on Ebay are the same sellers on Revain) to check their credibility/reliability from more comments/reviews.Why she loves it:1) The 31"-waist-size skirt is true to size. I'm so glad they based the size on numeric-waist-size instead of just S, M, L, XL, XXL, etc. This makes it so much easier for us to choose the correct size instead of guessing based on our Western clothing size charts. Size is just a number; it's the fit that counts.2) The length is perfect, not too long, not too short. Skirt falls slightly above her midthigh (like the length of Tail-brand tennis skirts) and the back does hike up a little bit due to feminine curves. But it's not cheerleading-skirt-short that she will have to wear shorts beneath the skirt. The 31" waist does give her enough room to slide it a little lower down the waist to make it longer if she wants to do so.3) Plaid fabric is thin enough, but not see-through at all. There is no need for a lining. Fabric is so good that it is suitable for day-to-day wear, not merely for Halloween or Cosplay.4) The pleats are pressed and crisp right out of the package. There is enough fabric for the pleats to be crisp and straight. In fact, they are so straight that even the plaid lines match from one pleat to the next. It's quite rare to be able to find reasonably-priced-mass-produced plaid skirts that can match the 80s-90s-era-quality on the market nowadays.5) The craftsmanship is excellent, with a fully-hidden zipper and straight stitches that lay flat.Cons:None.
