SHOPESSAWomen's Victorian Gown French Lolita Dress Princess Costume Renaissance Dress Flare Sleeve Court Cosplay

I wore this dress to a murder mystery party and got so many compliments on it. It is pretty heavy and well-detailed, with several layers of frills, and easy to dress as there is a zipper on the back. I wore a petit coat underneath to create more volume and changed the position of the bow to the back of the dress as I thought it would look better.

Was a little big for my daughter (12 years old) but was easy to pin the way we needed it for her performance. Very durable, survived multiple rehearsals and shows. I haven't cleaned it yet so we'll see how that goes!

Sizing is WAY off and not accurate. Ordered a 4X which would fit more like an XL. Material is thin, scratchy and cheap. Dress arrived with snags in the fabric, possibly already used.

Material was thin but still worked out well!

Gorgeous

Didn't come in early, didn't get delivered on time, delayed. Beautiful dress.

It worked out beautifully!!

I'll update with a photo later but there are some things that are really great about this dress and some things that kind of suck. Im a size 16 in pants, XL in shirts, a 40DD, I ordered the 5X and it fits well, I probably could have ordered the 4X, but to me that's insane... it's also pretty short on me. Im 5'7 and again, ordered the 5X, without a petty coat it hits about a half inch about my ankle, with a full size petticoat it sits about 8 inches off the ground. I think it looks funky but whatever. The front of the dress with all the ruffles is great, the back however is incredibly thin and you can easily see the petticoat wiring through the material in the back. To me, it feels like a pretty mid costume, maybe worth $50, definitely not $100. It fits the theme so I'm going to keep it, but overall I'm a little disappointed.
