Fake Padded Belly Costume Accessory B001VBAJZS

Fake Padded Belly Costume Accessory - 3.7 out of 5 stars from 3 customer reviews


Pretty good!
I bought this a while ago for my Halloween costume. And for the price it is good! I did have to tear it open and move around the stuffing a bit to give a more pregnant effect. And def wear a tank top underneath because its itchy. But it was very realistic. I kept getting mistaken for being actually pregnant!


Looks real
My wife used it in a workshop teaching young women about the deleterious effects of getting pregnant out of wedlock. It was great. They loved it. I thought maybe my wife got pregnant over night...simply amazing. It's a great prop.


belly
was okay, had to remove half of it for a pregnant woman to wear. Looks more natural than trying to put pillows under blouses.

Spats Vinyl (white) Halloween Costume B002QOXN7U

Spats Vinyl (white) Halloween Costume Accessory - 1.8 out of 5 stars from 4 customer reviews


Vinyl Spats from Totally Costumes
I am thoroughly disappointed with the item I received. First of all, the item I received is not as it appears on their website. I ordered Deluxe Vinyl Spats - White. On their website, the item is White with black snaps. The item I received is Beige with beige snaps and most of the snaps were scratched. Secondly, the item could have been shipped in an 8x10 envelope to avoid several dollars in unnecessary postage. Rather, it was sent in a box 3 times the size of the item and I was charged $6.48 for shipping. Lastly, Totally Costumes told me the restocking fee would be waived since the item was defective. Obviously they lied since I paid $6.37 but my refund is only $5.41. I will never do business with this company again.


Horrible spats
The spats that I received looked nothing like the picture on amazon. I ordered white and they were almond color, the buttons were all rusty and the rust stained the spats. I am very disappointed and I hope amazon files a claim against them. I will never buy from them again. I needed them for a party on Nov 13 2010. I don't know if I am going to wear them now.


cheap, needs velcro
This would be okay for one-time wear in a costume, but the snaps pull out after only a few wearings. If you plan on using as part of a band uniform or theater costume, you'll need to cut the snaps off and sew on velcro.

Roman Soldier Armour Adult Halloween B001763KCG

Roman Soldier Armour Adult Halloween Costume Size Standard - 1.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Roman Soldier Costume
The Roman costume was ridiculous. At $70+ dollars it was a joke considering it was made of maybe $5 worth of cheap materials. The huge box the shipped it in would have cost me $40 to return. It was cheaper and more satisfying to just throw it in the trash. DON"T BUY COSTUMES online!

Std Size Buccaneer Costume (Up B000GDXNA0

Std Size Buccaneer Costume (Up to 44 Jacket size) - Truly a Great Pirate Costume - Weapon and Wig no - 5.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Easy Fit and Wear
I bought this outfit for my husband's surprise, pirate-themed, 30th birthday party not really knowing what size he would need or how well it would fit him. He's 6'3" and 215ish and it worked wonderfully. He actually ended up looking better than I even expected.

Special Police Hat Halloween Costume B000HL3RB6

Special Police Hat Halloween Costume Accessory - 3.0 out of 5 stars from 5 customer reviews


Not what we expected.
Somewhat cheap looking. The fake sewn-on badge is even worse. Sorry...just not up to par.


Special police hat
I was not happy with the hat. The bill on it was not centered on the hat so it sat crooked. It was all squashed and with it not being centered we could not fix it. Very unhappy with it.


Doesn't look like picture, looks weird
This cap doesn't look very much like a police cap, it doesn't match what's shown in the picture. Looks weird.

Chucky Adult Costume Size X-Large B001CJT9L4

Chucky Adult Costume Size X-Large - 1.9 out of 5 stars from 7 customer reviews


chuckie
The large is to small. The mask is terrible it like a paper mask. The outfit is latex skin tight.


I loved it but
my husband hated it! the mask is horrible and I needed to add a velcro spot in front so he could use the bathroom but other than that is wasn't terrible but defintitle not great either.


Eh, its ok
Came fast, but cheap material. I dont know who would actually wear just this. I actually cut off the good guy sign, bought some cheap overalls and sewed the good guy sign to the overalls.

Musketeer W/Hat Deluxe Adult Costume B001GMM14Y

Musketeer W/Hat Deluxe Adult Costume Size Standard - 4.2 out of 5 stars from 5 customer reviews


Costume
I like the costume a great deal. The only thing I dis like was how it was packaged. It was greatly wrinkled. With the type of material its made of I cant get it to look right at all. I cant wash it in a washing machine and drier. Nor could I possibly consider useing an iron. I've tried hanging it in the bathroom with a hot shower for a couple weeks, but doesnt seem to help any.

I like the costume, but wish you guys could come up with a better way to package it.


To arms! To horse!
They bound us to them with a mystic tie.
"All for one and one for all!" we heard them cry
when swords crossed swords to do or die.
Oh, the thrills we got from them!

I would love to be able go back then
and see courage high and men be men
but we'll never see their likes again
Those were the days, my friend.

Great costume for the price.
Product was exactly as pictured. I was able to find a kit that included the cropped pants, ( I noticed most kits did not) which were very large but worked anyway and gave a nice "puffy" look to the legs. Everything was very wrinkled but I was able to iron shirt and pants using hot iron (even though care instructions said to use cool iron, but that didn't help at all). Just don't leave iron on material very long. Hat was wrinkled also but I was able to reshape the crown and flatten out the brim with spray water and placing books on the brim and a metal drum that fit in the crown, overnight. I also sewed a 4 inch strap on both sides, connecting the front and back panels of the tunic so they don't fly around too much while wearing. The hat and gloves look great, just like worn leather. I'm very happy with this costume. I also purchased the boot tops, a plastic sword and a long wig, just like in the photo, Costume complete... touche'

Toga Unisex Adult Halloween Costume B001GLACVE

Toga Unisex Adult Halloween Costume Size X-Large - 3.0 out of 5 stars from 5 customer reviews


pricey for quality
I was very surprised at the quality of the fabric. This costume was totally overpriced and had I more experience with returns, I would have done so. i have never ordered clothing items before. I will need to stick to books from now on. I was sorely disappointed!


Does the trick
Toga fits and is NOT see through sheer. I wore a white tee shirt and dark pants underneath and the dark barely showed, if at all. The top gold leaf crown added a nice touch.


Toga was dirty when re ceived
The product had dirt all over the front.Had no choice but to wear as no time to return. Style was okay.

Sherlock Costume Adult B001763K80

Sherlock Costume Adult - 2.9 out of 5 stars from 14 customer reviews


A little thin
This costume worked for what I wanted but it was much thinner material than I was anticipating. Overall, it gave the look and feel I wanted.


Not great
I didn't expect a great costume. But even this was below my expectations. I was using this for a video on Sherlock. I wasn't satisfied, the hat was crushed. But it did in a pinch and I mostly put the costume in black and white so it worked fine. I wouldn't recommend unless you know it is going to be very low quality.


You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for. Cheap look, feel, etc. Looks second rate, and it is priced accordingly. Buyer beware.

Mens Standard Size Fringe Vest B00485XP7S

Mens Standard Size Fringe Vest - 2.8 out of 5 stars from 4 customer reviews


Picture Better Than It Is
The picture looks great, the actual product is like shredded brown newspaper very thin and light. Not what we expected.


A bit fake and cheap looking
The picture shows something that actually looks like a leather vest. In real life, this does not look leather. It looks like the synthetic material that it is. The tassels are also plastic, wrinkled, and cheap looking. I will try to figure out some way to flatten the tassels before Halloween, and that should improve the look, but I am still a bit disappointed.


Vest
I was disappointed in the fringe, it was very short and not long like the picture. I also thought it was a heavier material instead of a very light nylon type. The picture is way wrong for what I got.

Franco American Novelty Co Men's B001E429YQ

Franco American Novelty Co Men's Gunslinger Costume Multicoloured X-Large - 1.0 out of 5 stars from 1 customer reviews


Like a Women's dress
I bought this costume for Halloween this year, and all I can say is that when I put it on it doesn't make me feel like a gunslinger. It makes me feel like I'm wearing a women's dress, and should go out slow dancing. The material is so soft, light, airy and transparent. I think I have boxer shorts that weigh more than this. The bandanna is super thin, and the vest is just a piece of material that ties to the front of you with crappy pieces of material.

I paid $25 for it, which is the best price I have seen, and feel like I got ripped off. I truly feel sorry for anyone who pays what costume shops are trying to charge for it. (up to $60)

If you are thinking of buying this, you're probably better off getting a brown bathrobe and wearing that... then if it's windy out you don't have to worry about it blowing around and looking like superman had an accident on his cape.

Save your money.

Adult Costume Pregnant Fat Santa B002ZFYPP4

Adult Costume Pregnant Fat Santa or Beer Belly Stuffer - 3.5 out of 5 stars from 2 customer reviews


fat beerbelly
This worked well as a beer belly, but not so much for a pregnant belly as the belly was to low.


It was okay.
I used it as a pregnant belly and it really doesn't suit that purpose. It was a little too low and flat around the chest area. I wouldn't even say it was good for a beer belly, but would probably be good for Santa!
