Glad I got this great deal. Great fit.
I have tried this dress on but haven't performed in it. I tried it on over a tshirt and yoga pants. It fit well and was actually long enough. I am 5'9 160 lbs S10. It fits the body so good undergarments are a must.I am going to fit the sleeve because they are big bells and fall to your shoulder when you raise your arms. There are big iridescent paillettes down the front and on the trim. It is delivered with 2 pieces for your head and hips. It also comes with a few replacement paillettes and little clear beads which I guess you can sew/glue on for more bling. Yes please. If you are shorter than 5'9 I would imagine the trim at the bottom could be stepped on if you aren't careful. The split on the sides hits me right under the knee which I appreciate.I like the fit and I got it for a steal! The color is bright and under lights it is going to be quite fun. The paillettes don't make noise when you move your body.

Stunning. Well Pleased
This is stunning. I got the purple/gold one. I am 5'7" and 155 lbs., but this, even though it says it's a s/m, is large with room to spare and almost too long. I love the colors and the fabric is comfortable. The sleeves, while gorgeous, will have to be modified in some way or I will have to hold them in an alluring way in order to perform raqset al assaya, as they will get in the way. Small things, as overall, I love it.

Love it!
This dress fits me like it was custom made! I am 5 ft. 4 in., about 155 lbs. Very stretchy material, I think would fit anywhere from size 10 to size 14. It's so flattering. I would definitely buy again.

Great Fit
Was worried that this would make me look fat (I am apple shaped with 43" hips), but the material is generous with stretch. And any fear of tugging is non-existent after applying the hip scarf. I feel beautiful in it, so I can concentrate on my dancing and not worry about my costume.

good quality costume for the price
For the price, it is actually pretty good. It looks great and fits a little big but I'd rather it be too big than too small.

Great value for the price
For $55 it is a very good value and will look great on stage. It came very quickly, and I am satisfied with the purchase.
