California Costumes Women's Eye Candy - Nautical Doll Adult, Navy

So after reading the reviews I decided to order a medium in this costume. Apparently there's two versions that are being sold with Amazon Prime, one from China with a thicker material and one actually from California Costumes. I got the one from California Costumes so the material was stretchier, much more like your traditional Halloween costume. The dress itself looks really good, all the details are pretty much the same except yes, the white part didn't tie as nicely, like it was too loose to get that ruffled sweetheart look on the model. I'm a 30F so if my chest didn't fill it out, I don't really know whose would. The skirt was a pretty good length, a little bit longer than most Halloween costumes I'm used to actually, hit me a little above my mid-thigh (yes I'm used to short costumes, haha). The midsection you tie up in the back with a bow so as to get a more cinched look since this costume is just one you pull on. I liked it, but didn't love how it fit on me though because it fell straight down on the sides without hugging my waist or hips so I had to tie the bow in the back pretty tight but it was clearly too much fabric for my midsection. I then ordered the small, way better. The white part that ties in the front looks almost exactly to the model now and the fabric hugs my midsection really nicely. It's definitely shorter, like I bent over to put on my shoes and my boyfriend got a nice view of my behind without me noticing, it probably hits me around where the models costume ends on her. It looks like an okay length it's just because it poofs out that it's so short. And just a little information about me, I'm 5'8" and about 145 lbs with a larger chest and bigger than average hips/butt. My waist is definitely not proportionate to my body, much smaller. I usually can fit a small or medium in tops and I'm about a size 4 or 6 in bottoms. Overall very lovely costume and an unbeatable price. I even really liked the hat. One side note, the anchor on the skirt for the small is pretty awkwardly placed. The way the skirt billows out puts the anchor more towards the side/backish than in the front but I'm okay with that.

It's sexy and fun without being too over the top, as I wanted it for going out to a bar on Halloween, not role-playing in the bedroom. I was tempted to buy a petticoat for it, but I waited to see how it fits first. Now I don't think I'll buy one, it doesnt need it. The skirt is nice and puffy, plus long enough so I don't have to worry about bending a little. The fit is, at least for me, Perfect. I got an XL (I'm 5'7" and 185 pounds). The top covers my 38 DD just like the girl in the picture. I'm about 38 inches in the waist and, again, the xl fits just great. I bought white thigh-highs with red bows for it, and I'm gonna wear a pair of TUK mary janes with red bows....awesome!!! The fabric is not see-thru, is quite thick and way better quality than I expected. I'm impressed! Unbeatable bargain for this price!

It looks exactly like the picture! I love it!! Its a great quality costume, not like the cheap material that you get with most costumes. Its breathable and it stretches. I will say it is very very short. I am 5'1 and I am a bigger gal so I felt like my butt was hanging out so I'm gonna find a pair of white or red ruffle shorts to go under. I was really worried t wouldn't fit, I went with the 2xl to be on the safe side (I am a 42 DD and I have big hips). It fits great everywhere but the bust is just a smidge to big but if I went with the smaller size I don't think I could wear it. I expected I would have to do some safety pinning here and there to get it perfect in the shoulders and bust area but I don't mind. I wiil say if you wear a bra with it, maybe look into getting a navy bra or one to go with the color scheme cause even with the ascot my bra still shows on the sides. Overall this costume is so cute. And I'm very satisfied with it. Like I said I don't mind buying the things I need to make it perfect (like a new bra and the shorts) because the price was excellent. I cannot wait to wear it out on Saturday night

So I like many others reading the reviews before ordering something. I gave this product 5 stars because it is super adorable and good quality product.. With fast shipping. The sizes was my only issue I'm 5'9" 160lbs with 36D so typically a size Large Halloween costume fits fine, in this case it swallows me. The torso is long which is great for tall girls like myself the chest are is so large even I can barely fill it out, a few booby pins and a good padded bra fixed that! On the back there is a area to "tighten" the dress by tying a bow... Fine and dandy except it scrunches all the lose fabric and made me look like I have rolls.. Safety pins and a loser bow helped! The length is great mid thigh with the dress dropping even lower in the back I had bought a petticoat but won't need it. All in all great product so if you're a large and considering a medium... Get the medium! You'll look great ;)

I'm 5'7 and I'm 130 lbs. I ordered this costume in size S and it fits really well. It is really pretty for the price and for it being a costume is one of the highest quality costumes I have ever purchased. It doesn't look cheap at all. I have really long legs and the dress still covers my butt like if it was a nice short dress. The only con which you can still work with it is that the top is a little sheer and very open in the back area. So, If I wear it with no bra my boobs my show through my costume.... If I wear a bra you will be able to see it in the back.... Let's see how it goes, over all pretty happy :D

Ok, so I ended up having to order this costume twice because of fit and FYI... there are two versions of this costume. The first one I didn't realize I ordered from China until I received my order confirmation with a shipping estimate. This costume is the one I believe people are describing as the thicker material. It arrived in an unmarked zipper pouch. It is NOT stretchy at all. It's all synthetic, but the fabric reminds me of a thinner twill. I thought the craftsmanship of this costume was MUCH better. I sized mine (5'8", 34C, 145lbs) off other reviews, especially hearing that it was stretchy, and erred on the size of a medium so it wouldn't be too small. I opened the costume & was thrilled. The waist fit well and I liked the look a lot. PROBLEM - the costume wouldn't zip up past my waist because I needed about 4 more inches of fabric around the ribcage. The back was also completely covered, so you can wear a bra with this version. The white bust part is double layered & straight across. There is a white tie on the inside & a white tie on the outside and you tie them together to create the sweetheart neckline. I was fine without a bra because the seam below the white sweetheart part propped up the cleavage and the two layers helped it not be see-through. There is a side zipper with this costume, which did not work well, but it could be managed with some wiggling to keep it free of strings and on-track. The hat was stretchy material and I'm not sure if it would stay on my head for long. The only problem I had was the poor sizing. I still had time to order an overnight shipment with Amazon Prime for the size larger, so that's what I did. The second costume ordered from Amazon (and fulfilled by Amazon) arrived in California Costumes brand packaging. This costume looks almost identical, save a few things. Completely different materials, for one. This costume IS stretchy & pretty thin. The trim around the striped part is not pleated, but more lacy. The back of this costume is open, so you would need to wear a strapless bra, as the back flap part leaves a gap showing your back between the bottom of the flap and the top of elastic back of the torso part. I hope that makes sense. This costume is a little more flimsy in the way it hangs because it's stretchy synthetic fabric. The buttons seemed cheaper and the white bust part was a single layer of fabric, so you could see completely through it. You could even see my nude bra through it. The yellow accent trim on the other is metallic gold rope on this costume. Most of all, the size large is a true 10-12. I could have fit in a small or medium, so I was extremely disappointed that there was such a size and quality difference between the two. Because this is a stretchy costume with elastic holding it up in the back, there is no zipper on this costume. The hat on this costume has stiffer materials around the rim than the other costume. That's where this costume is better. Essentially, the one fulfilled by Amazon is the California Costumes brand version and then there is the thicker from-China counterfeit versions. If the sizing wasn't off on the Chinese version (and zipper trouble), I would MUCH prefer the counterfeit version, as the materials are nicer. That said, because it's counterfeit and the sizing is not the same and the costume is NOT stretchy, it makes it hard to size correctly. I really wish there was one costume that was sold per listing, so this wouldn't happen to someone else. Non-CC costumes on one listing, actual California Costume brand on the other. That way you know what you're getting and you can size correctly. But to pass off the counterfeit version as the CC costume doesn't add any confidence to what I buy in the future from Amazon. Ultimately I had to return both because I had two costumes that didn't fit. One too small and one too big. Returning was easy for the most part. The counterfeit company originally offered a partial refund, but I was able to get a full refund agreement within the next day. Amazon's return was very easy and painless. Just research the sizing reviews based on the descriptions of the type of materials, so you know what you're ordering. I don't want to discourage people from ordering because it is super cute.

I got this costume for this year Halloween. I opened the package, as soon as I touched the dress I could say that it is different from my previous costumes. It is not a cheap material, however, do not expect very fancy material as well. The back part of the skirt is a little bit longer which makes the dress look nicer. I love it. Yet, it is a little bit open (Sexy). It depends on your preference if you want to have it this open, but exactly as shown in the pic. The hat is ok, not too fancy but good enough for one night. The buttons are really fine as I was worried reading some other reviews. But mine was really nice and tight. The size chart is exactly as all my other dresses. I always wear medium down and small up. I got the medium and it fits very good.

This is my first time writing a review ever, but it had to be done. I ordered this costume on sat 10/12 and it arrived today 10/16. Great quality, definitely not used, the buttons are all intact. I can see how some have said the buttons have come loose, so to be on the safe side I will reinforce them with a few extra stitches. Oh by the way, if you are top heavy you have two options: be ready to have all eyes on you or add something to the top to cover up a bit more. Fits exactly like the picture. Can you tell I've read all the reviews? I say stop second guessing yourself and just order it already. I ordered an XX-L and I'm 5'7, 42DDD and waist is 40inches. It is a bit short in the back for me, so I will add a petticoat or shorts.

Wirklich schönes Kostüm. Musste leider Retoure da es mir überhaupt nicht gepasst hat. War leider viel zu groß. Sonst aber toll verarbeitet und gut verpackt. Versand ging schnell. Hätte es gerne behalten.

Sehr schönes Faschingskostüm mit einer guten Passform. Ich trage Größe 38 & dementsprechend ist es auch ausgefallen. Farbe, Muster & Schnitt entsprechen auch der Abbildung. Die Mütze könnte für meinen Geschmack etwas stabiler gearbeitet sein, aber das ist eine Ansichtssache.

The item came super fast, very good quality. the material was very stretchy though so this just made it too big for me. I was very happy with the quality thought. I have returned this dress but was so happy i have already ordered the same outfit just in a smaller size. Now just hoping the refund is as quick and easy as the order.

Good quality, flattering fit. Arrived on time.

Fits great. The skirt is pretty long, longer than I wanted. But otherwise super cute and fun. Good quality
