Womens Renaissance Medieval Costume Dress Lace up Irish Over Long Dresses Cosplay Retro Gown

I am 5'6" and reading reviews it was suggested to order up. I wanted a 2XL but they were out in the color and style I wanted so I bought the 3 XL knowing it could always be taken in. Sadly the material is a lower quality then I thought it would going by the description, the strings in the front and back are NOT any where near as long as they are shown. At the time of this review I would normally wear 1-2XL clothes and usually the 2XL would be very big on me, with this, it runs small! The 3 Xl fit more like an oversized Large or small 1XL. IF it came in a 4 XL I would return the 3XL and get that so that it would fit less snuggly. This was bought for a Red Fair next month and Aug is hot, even though it looks like it is velvet it is not a heavy material but I would not suggest you wear it in the sun on 90 F plus day as it is too hot for that.

The costume is very nice, however, the size is much smaller than it should be. I got a size bigger just in case it did run small. I'm glad I did, because the size bigger was still snug.

This dress is great! The material is really nice, and the strings in the front make it adjustable enough to Singh your waist. I’m 5’3” and weigh probably 190 pounds and got the 3XLarge. Sleeves and skirt are a tiny bit too long, but that’s just because I’m short. It doesn’t hit too low in the chest, either. I feel that it is a very flattering dress.

Good quality and fit.

Just as described

Size up.. I am 175 pounds with a large bust and large hips.. I ordered a3X.. it fit! The dress and workmanship is fine.. I will probably cover the cheap binding tape they used at some point.. but no one noticed( just me). I am a seamstress.. and have sewed period costumes… this is more large run manufactured… but you can’t beat the price and since I am suffering from problems with my hands.. I welcomed this dress and the price! My only problem was that it had a 4” cut across the side back. I needed this dress so I sewed it up… yes you can see the sew job… but what else could I do? Overall very happy.

I was perfect for my medieval event. Good quality.

I followed advice from other reviews and ordered 2/3 sizes larger than I normally would have. I am 5'9", 195 lbs, and I normally wear a Large, sometimes XL (size 12 pants, size 36DDD bra). I ordered the XXX-Large, going up an extra size for length. I definitely could have ordered the XX-Large, probably the XL and it would have easily fit, but I'm glad I have the extra length. I would definitely go at least one size up, and at least 2 sizes up if you are taller.I also figured it was ok to err on the larger side since there is lacing on the front and back, so I could make it tighter if need be. Well, the lacing is in such a weird position it won't really work. Also, instead of the 6 loops on each side, as pictured, there are 2 loops on each side. The bottom of the front laces goes to mid-boob. The lacing in back is right around my shoulder blades. I tried to pull the dress down so these would be closer to where they should be (my waist???) but it wouldn't stay. I then tried to make it look not totally weird, but it just does. I've decided to remove the loops for the lacing and move them to where they should be. This will be easy for me, but I know not everyone will have that options - so larger sizes beware.Additionally, I've decided to find something with which to replace the lacing itself. It comes with a black cord, similar to the shoelace on a men's dress shoe. It's fine, and the visual effect is there, but I just think for a couple of dollars it can look a whole lot better. I'll try to remember to add pictures once I've made the changes.Length-wise, it hits right at the top of my foot - honestly, it couldn't be more perfect. It's just long enough without dragging on the ground - which normally wouldn't bother me, but I'm wearing it to a Renaissance Festival and don't want to be tripping over it or intentionally getting it all muddy.Overall, the quality is what I expected for what I paid. The material is nice and thick which will be nice since we are going to a Ren Fest in the fall and it might be pretty chilly.

Esta muy lindo, solo que se rompio una de las cuerditas donde se mete el liston
