Fantastic! - my new review

I love it! It's perfect for the costume I'm doing and it looks great on. I'll add pictures once I do my event. It is thin, but the right undergarments make that a non issue. I'm 5' 5" and about 153 lbs, fairly curvy shaped, and the medium fits pretty well! I may have been able to do a small as I have the medium tied almost as tight as possible to fit well, but it's alright to me! For this type of costume, I'd definitely recommend this to a friend!

Pros
  • Renaissance fair for my kids and she was the best dressed
Cons
  • Runs small, returned. White is see through but if you wear included colored apron over it it’s fine

It looked good!: my feedback

This product was pretty much as expected. The reviews noted that it ran small, so I wasn't surprised. Was able to wear it though and got quite a few compliments on the color. It was delivered exactly on time.The fabric is a satiny, poly-estery-like material. It flowed nicely and was wide enough at the bottom to walk pretty comfortably in. It was long on me; I'm petite, this was not, so I had to pick up the skirt the whole time, which wasn't a big deal. The only drawback I would say is that the…

Pros
  • Beautiful dress but it was tight on my arms. But wonderful dress.
Cons
  • The fabric of the overdress may be scratchy and uncomfortable for those with sensitive skin

Not worth it! on my review.

Was waaaay too big. I ended up having to take in the black part by like three inches on both sides and if I had time I would have hemmed the bottom too. I wore it ONE TIME to our renaissance festival and by the time we left the sleeves were frayed almost to my elbows. This dress was cute but is NOT worth the money even for a one time use. Super disappointed.

Pros
  • I absolutely loved this dress! It was perfect! It was a hot dog and I really wasn’t that hot wearing it!
Cons
  • The costume may not fit properly and could be uncomfortably tight in certain areas, particularly around the bust or waist

Great quality, but very sheer.

I loved this costume it was a steal of a deal for those on a budget (or moms like me that spent too much on their kids costumes and didn’t save any money for your own). It looked awesome. I’m 5’4” 237 LB, I ordered a XXL and probably could have sized downed. The under dress is very sheer, but the over dress makes it wearable. 4 stars because of the sheerness.

Pros
  • The sleeves are very tight with no give in the material. Besides that, it fits well.
Cons
  • The color and design of the costume may clash with certain skin tones or hair colors, making it unflattering to wear

Would not buy again.

The dress is two pieces. The outer one is ok material wise and it's adjustable in a few different ways. But the white inside dress is really crappy. It's very see through and flat. The trumpet sleaves that I was most excited about feel short and unflattering. I wouldn't buy this again and I would return it if I could.

Pros
  • It’s sooooo cute only thing was that the front loops are a bit loose.
Cons
  • The overdress was fine the white underdress was tight and see through.

Not As Pictured best in my review

The dress is fine but it does not arrive looking like it is presented in picture. The sleeves on the white sheath are short, not long. Short, midway between shoulder and elbow. Disappointing but will have to make work at this late date.

Pros
  • Fit the era
Cons
  • The costume may look too "costumey" and attract unwanted attention or ridicule

Loved it but make sure to size up!

Good material. Exactly what I wanted and will definitely wear again. However, I had to make some adjustments for the breast area. I normally wear a medium in everything and it was perfect in length. If I sized up in length it would definitely need hemmed. But be aware that if you have large breasts (D) it will be an adjustment. Otherwise, I really did love this dress!

Pros
  • Love it! So fun! It's really comfy!
Cons
  • The costume may be too hot or uncomfortable to wear in warmer weather

True to size - my new review

Amazing quality and a beautiful dress. My daughter wore it to medevil times and people though she was part of the show. Love it!

Pros
  • Exactly what we needed.Shipping was fast.Was wrinkled but I was totally okay with how it arrived.
Cons
  • The chemise may need to be worn in layers to prevent it from being see-through, adding extra bulk to the costume

Fits nice, wish the fabric was better

Fits well, looks cute. Wish it was better quality fabric. It's definitely cheap polyester. Doesn't feel horrible, but it's like very cheap kids bed sheets.

Pros
  • great item, thanks so much
Cons
  • The costume may be too cold or insufficient for wear during colder months or outdoor events

Came with only the overdress and not both pieces

WHERE IS THE UNDERDRESS? Without it, the blue overdress is useless and I need this for an upcoming themed wedding! The costume may not be as historically accurate as expected, or may be missing certain details or features.

Pros
  • Costumes & Cosplay Apparel
Cons
  • The costume may not be as historically accurate as expected, or may be missing certain details or features

Perfect Plus Size Fit

I am a size 20 and I got the 2xl. It fits perfectly. I love it. I did buy a crinoline to go underneath, but its not necessary. The dress is very adjustable. Its beautiful!

Pros
  • I loved everything about this outfit! I used it to created a Celtic witch costume and it was perfect!
Cons
  • The costume may be too cumbersome and heavy to wear for extended periods of time

Ok as a Halloween costume

Overall, it worked well as a Halloween costume. Low quality if trying to use it for other reasons. The under layer is a bit see through, so you have to were a slip or something under. The material is also a bit plastic-y. Makes prolonged wear a bit uncomfortable. It doesn't breathe. The picture shows it as off the shoulder dress, but it doesn't like staying off the shoulder.

Pros
  • Women
Cons
  • The costume may not be appropriate for conservative or religious settings, particularly if it's too revealing or provocative

Highly recommend good for me

Pleasantly surprised at the quality. You can adjust shoulders, stomach, and the back. Very adjustable to all shapes and sizes.

Pros
  • The Medieval Irish Renaissance Costume for Women is expertly crafted with intricate detailing, allowing wearers to truly immerse themselves in the history and culture of the time period
Cons
  • The costume may be difficult to move around in or hinder certain activities, such as dancing or sitting comfortably

Color will dye your clothes in the wash

I washed the white dress and purple skirt together and now the white dress is a pretty lavender. I had a feeling it would dye and risked it. Not too upset, it looks fine but just beware!

Pros
  • This is perfect and fits so we'll.
Cons
  • The costume may require additional accessories or items to complete the look, adding extra expense

Nice dress. Terrible delivery.

This product came as pictured. Is long and needs shortening but I’m on the short side. Nice comfortable fabric.The problem I have was in the delivery. Just found the package 2 days after the expected delivery date. It was just thrown into the foliage and bushes at the road. Looked like litter. I picked it up to throw it out and it was my dress from ebay. Very disappointed with the delivery.

Pros
  • Was darker than expected but still beautiful
Cons
  • The costume may not be appropriate for certain events or occasions, particularly if it's too elaborate or attention-grabbing

Cheap fabric and construction

Disappointed, teary 13yr old daughter. She was so excited for this dress. It was terrible. The seams were poorly done, one end of the bodice veered upwards so the bust wasn't even, material was SUPER THIN and cheap for the price we paid! She's extremely tall so the length was nice. But the rest was not. She was really crushed.

Pros
  • The inclusion of both an overdress and chimes means wearers can easily create a layered, sophisticated look that captures the complexity of Medieval Irish fashion
Cons
  • The costume may be too ornate or embellished, making it difficult to pair with other clothing or accessories

Cheaply made product.

Somewhat cheaply made product. The white under slip only comes to just slightly lower than the butt, which was disappointing. And product material is very rough feeling.

Pros
  • This is for my 13 year old daughter. She loves it!! I had to hem it but it's perfect.
Cons
  • Everything fit fine but the the white dress was see through not happy with that.

Very good for what it is.

So. I think a lot of people who have written reviews of this have unreasonable expectations.This garment IS "cosume-y," if you are looking for a super high quality faithful recreation that will function as a quality garment this is NOT for you.If you want a cute, inexpensive costume for a party, festival, Halloween or even a costume for a play this IS a very good option.The overdress is the slightest bit snug, but it is the kind of snug where a nother size up would be far too large. I suggest…

Pros
  • Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry
Cons
  • The costume may not be suitable for individuals with certain disabilities or physical limitations, particularly if it's difficult to put on or move around in
