The sizing was true, which is always a bonus. The fit and the cut was very flattering, for sure. Hugs in all the right places. The sleeves were perfect, not too tight at all like you usually find in these costumes if you're on the curvier side. The fabric is budget, but it's not the itchy kind of fuzzy fabric that a lot of cheaper holiday things are made of, very pleasantly surprised to find it was quite soft. It was comfortable to wear all night. It's short enough to be on the sexy side without being too short to wear in public.The only real downside is that the belt it comes with is a joke. It's definitely made for small to medium waists and won't come close to closing on an XL, it's also very flimsy. I replaced it with a nice black cinch belt (also from amazon) and it was perfect. Excellent value for the price.
