Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My wife spent hours searching online for a nice looking Elizabeth Swann Pirate costume for our 11 year old daughter's program. She finally settled on this one because the picture shows a nicely finished, tastefully done item made from sturdy materials. The item that arrived inside the package looks only like the photo in basic "design". The quality isn't the same. The actual fabric is very, very thin (which might be great in warmer areas of the country). The edges on the vest (including pockets) are not finished off nicely like in the photo. The buttons aren't as nice either (brassy color and pop open easily). The belt, vest and pants aren't the same color pictured (the vest is more purple than red). The buckle is different too and is made from flimsy plastic so it wouldn't last long I'm sure. The boot covers are about the only things that look like what we thought we were getting. The "belt" is basically a strip of brown plastic-type material that goes from the left hip to the right shoulder where it Velcros in place. Don't even get me started on that hat. The hat came as a smashed mess that we don't know how to form to look like something a pirate might wear. My kids started laughing when they saw it (they will enjoy playing with it though as we didn't buy the costume for the hat).
Fortunately, we didn't pay full price. My wife found it on sale. It cost her about the cost of a sewing pattern, which is exactly what she plans to use it for now.
If the costume had been advertised accurately, I wouldn't be writing a negative review. I would have gotten exactly what I expected. As it is, we were disappointed. I just want others to be aware that the picture isn't an accurate description. I'm sure my girls will have fun with the costume once my wife is finished using it but it isn't going to serve the purpose we originally bought it for. If you're looking for something for your daughter to play dress-up in, this might be a fun one to get (but don't pay full price). Just be aware that it may not last very long and it is thinner than it looks (if warmth is a concern).
