Smiffy's Men's Christmas Pudding Costume and Hat

The best gag gift ever!

In 3 days I will be singing Christmas Carols in a singing group, wearing this costume, in a town centre nearby, to entertain children at the switching on of the Christmas lights. I am nervous about forgetting my words, but not about the costume, which is terrific. I was slightly dubious about it on seeing the only pics available on it (those here on Amazon are the same as those of it from any other seller on the Internet -but in some cases up to £10.00 more expensive -outrageous!). It looked a bit saggy and not really round enough for a pudding. I have solved the sag issue with a bubble-wrap stuffing -also great insulation for what is likely to be a cold evening. The costume is well made from thick felt. It has a velcro fastening on the back of the neck, and an elastic gather on the bottom end of it. Thus when stuffed appropriately with bubble wrap, it holds the stuffing in and bulges to a gratifying rotundness. The hat is a nice touch. I'm happy with this purchase which should serve me well at the forthcoming gig and should last for several more fancy dress occasions too -all at a reasonable price here on Amazon. So bring me some figgy pudding! AA UPDATE Dec 2012 This fab costume has provided hours of merriment and laughter. It survived a wet evening's singing on a street to small children, being attacked by rabid, slavering 5-year-olds intent on pulling the black spots and holly leaves off, and is ready to fight another day! It has gone down a treat whereever I wore it. Recommend sticking the leaves and white blobby bits down with velcro tabs or tacking them down, and stuffing the inside with bubble wrap to give a really good round shape worked very well. I was also very warm! AA

It's well made and fits great

Got good craic with it out of the family

The kids at school loved it & so did the teachers lol

Fits perfectly with plenty of room, elasticated waist will fits smaller or even slightly bigger than me. Material is of good quality, feels robust for the price. Overall I would recommend and delivery was quick, received following day from order on Royal Mail tracked.
