Review on Mythic Renaissance Medieval Irish Costume Over Dress & Chemise Set (XXS/XS, Black) by Aaron Long

Revainrating 5 out of 5

its adjustable, and feels like silk

this dress is popular on amazon and several shops selling the same one. However, the dress from this shop fits closest to true to size, I'd recommend buying the size you normally wear. Other shops selling the same dress you have to buy a couple sizes up to fit you. I wear a large/XL is various things 16s and 18s in pants. This dress fit me, it was adjustable in the tops of shoulders, in the back and the front. The material feels like silk, its not stretchy but I gave 5 stars for stretch because its adjustable to different body types, and the only place see through was the top and you could see my bra on close inspection, But it was mildly see through and non offensive in any way. The dress may look better if choosing to wear a petticoat underneath, but still provides form and shape without one. I did not wear a petticoat. It blossoms out right at the waist giving that bell shape that you want for these medieval dresses, even without the petticoat. Some people said that the dress was long, I'm 5'2 and it was only a little bit long, but still doable, especially since that era dresses were long and dragged the ground. I'll have to hold up my skirts a little bit when walking. If I were to hem this dress I'd only bring it up maybe an inch, no more than 2 with fabric tape and that would work, I think. For ladies unsure of what size to get, here are my measurements, I have a 35 inch waist and 40in bust, the majority of my weight is at hips/butt/thighs and breasts. 38or 40dd. I'm 5'2, around 200lbs. Hope this helps someone
