Review on ThePirateDressing Steampunk Victorian Cosplay Costume Womens High-Low Show Girl Skirt by Jaye Cleveland

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The new skirts are SO not the same as the old ones

I ordered a black one back in 2015, size Large. I've worn it once maybe twice a year since then. Recently I've lost some weight, so the large black one will not stay up even with the drawstrings tightened as tight as they can possibly go. I decided that worked out so well for me, that I would order again - this time Medium, in brown. Well.I mean, come on! There has been some major manufacturing changes since 2015! This Medium, with the drawstrings let out as far as possible, is like wearing a corset around my waist. It is TIGHT, like uncomfortably tight. But I wasn't sure if I should exchange it for a Large, since I own a Large by them.I mean.either they completely changed sizing or I need a Medium and a Half, which doesn't exist.Another mention should be the material. The original (Large, black, 2015) was lightweight but not sheer thin. This new (Medium, brown, 2022) is THIN and sheer and frankly, very cheap looking. I know nothing about this company, but from their change in product quality, it seems like they now get their skirts from low cost manufacturing in China.

Pros
  • The skirt's unique design offers creative styling options for fashion-forward individuals
Cons
  • Could make the wearer feel self-conscious
