Amscan Girls Cleopatra Egyptian Queen Fancy Dress Costume

This is a wonderul costume! I purchased the 6-8years for my petite 7 year old. It arrived the very next day with amazon prime (a god send). As you can see from the picture, it fit really well, with room to grow. I did have to take the hem up a good 3 - 4 inches but my girl is quite small. The costume itself is well made and such a bargain. For the low price i was surprised by the quality actually. It really did look better than I expected. The dress itself is a thin, stretchy material and flows nicely. The sequence on the arm & wrist bands did annoy her a little but I just trimmed the edges. I didn't mind making the minor lterations because it really does look fab. She said it was very comfortable otherwise. She won best costume in the whole school! She felf like a queen in it. A very happy little girl and a very happy mummy. If you found this review helpful then please vote with the "helpful" button below. Thanks

Quite good quality, looks classy. Got a 12-14 for my tall 10yo as her usual clothes are 12+ but was slightly too long. Very comfortable fit and worked well for her school party. Will probably fit her even better next year tbh. Separate Chest band and attached waist band lined with light foam to keep stiff. Dress is soft length of satin with no rough bits on the inside. The blue shawl is attached by two pairs of soft elasticated sequin arm bands (that do not cut off circulation). Head band consists of gold beads six strands on each side running down the side, and a jewel at the forehead. Mild Negatives: Headband is torturously tight but we tried stretching out a bit all day and could wear it for a few mins at a time. Beads came off from band and had to be resewn tightly.

I bought this costume for my 7yo (size 6-8yo). It is a couple inches too long for her, the headdress was tiny (more like armband size) and a row of beads popped off, so, I'm having to fix and alter those things; otherwise, seems to be OK quality.

Fitting much better than we were expecting! I think it’s a great outfit for a fair price

My daughter needed a costume for "Heroes Day" at school. She decided that anyone woman who could unite and bring prosperity and peace to a country bankrupt and riven by civil war fitted the bill. I think the fact that Cleopatra managed this whilst simultaneously being a by-word for looking fabulous may have carried some weight in her seven year old mind... The fact that my daughter bears what we now realise is a striking resemblance to our current popular image of the lady in question probably swung the balance against my suggestion of Rosalind Franklin (death notice for DNA, some mocked up X-Ray crystallography images...sorted!). We picked this costume on-line, and it arrived the following day. It is an absolutely gem of a costume. It really does look fantastic on, and my daughter has never been so thrilled with a shop-bought costume before. Top tip is that snazaroo face-paints do a paint in the exact same blue which made for serendipitously matching eyeshadow. She looked wonderful, and was thrilled. An brilliant bargain! She is a reasonably tall seven year old and the fit was perfect, I reckon it will be worn for a good few years. There is definitely potential for slightly scary Halloween mummy modifications, and any Monster High parties. A great purchase.

Stunning! The head beads do come off easily so be careful. I just rethreaded them back on. Otherwise a great item and my daughter looked amazing for her Egyptian day at school.

Bought this for my daughter's Egyptian workshop at school. Arrived promptly. Due to other online fancy dress purchases I wasn't expecting it to be of high quality. I was wrong! It is a really good quality product and looks fantastic and very glamourous. Dress is soft to touch and not scratchy. The accessories are also good quality and fit perfectly. I bought size 8-10 for my 7 year old. Slightly too big for her so I would say the fit is true to size. My daughter loves it. Would highly recommend and worth the money paid.

‘Bookweek’ has arrived, which means children can head to school dressed up as their favourite book character. It also implies that there are always 15 Harry Potters running around and even more Hermione’s, 10 Peter Pans and 5 Mad Hatters. Luckily this year our daughter got inspired by the classics after we read the very tragic, young readers version of Anthony and Cleopatra, that she was quite impressed with. This costume that we found on Amazon looked fairly unique and suitably elegant. It also matches her recent Egyptian study theme from school. The recipient was very pleased, to such an extend that she started to wear the dress as much as possible ahead of book day. The costume fits our slender but tall 8-year old quite well. Although the 4 elastic arm bands that keep the veil in place are very wide, more the size of a grown-up’s arm. So we had to fix that with some clips. As expected, the dress seems to be of decent quality meant to-look-nice-but-not-to-last. Therefore the fabric is a bit flimsy and thin. As consequence and because its currently winter, she will have to wear something underneath it. . And it remains to be seen for how many dress up sessions it will last. We at least experienced the common issue with one of the glitter bead strings coming loose from the head dress while putting it on for the first time. So this required a tiny bit of DIY to correct that. But then during the dress up event at school, another 6 strings came off.. (that she luckily salvaged and so that it could be glued back later on). Howver the main issue with this dress is that it lacks Cleo’s poisonous snake!! So I felt obliged to order an appropriate rubber snake substitute on Amazon as well. Also don't forget to make an effort to replicate the typical Egyptian eye makeup - we used face paint to get it right. Despite the few issues with the dress it looks really well, so much that our daughter stood out at school in originality and elegance. The dress attracted favourable comments from both teachers and other parents.

Il vestito è davvero bello, ben fatto, il tessuto della tunica è simile al raso, la cintura è incorporata e si può stringere sul retro adattandolo al corpo della bambina. Il velo è di un bel turchese intenso. La fascia per la testa è un po' stretta e va modificata. Mia figlia è innamorata del vestito! La taglia corrisponde correttamente ad un 8-10. La consegna è avvenuta un giorno prima del previsto. il rapporto qualità prezzo è ottimo! Lo consiglio!

Es muy bonito, justo cómo se describe

Meiner Tochter hat es sehr gefallen. Ist für den Preis ok und sieht gut aus.

Bel vestito, abbiamo dovuto accorciarlo un po' perché ho preso misura più grande per la mia bambina di 9 anni alta 1,35 ma soddisfatta perché sicuramente la misura in meno le sarebbe stata stretta. Soddisfatta.

Good
