Plus Size Pirate Wench Costume

Sizing was excellent! Breathable, comfortable and easy to adjust with a real corset. The corset it comes with is decent and easy to assemble but string is frail and wasn’t good looking on a shorter torso and big breasts, winched and looked awkward. Overall, very happy with the one piece.

Very happy with my purchase of this costume. I run between a size 14-16 in street clothes, but costumes are always small. Really, really small. I needed this costume last minute for a renaissance fair, and I was so worried it wouldn't fit. I decided to get the 2XL size based on the measurement chart and I was very happy with the costume. There is enough give in the costume that anyone from a size 14-18 could comfortably wear it, but I'll go ahead and say it's made for a street size 16 with a large bust and wide hips.The top and skirt come as one piece. They were solid enough I did not have to wear extra clothing underneath (which is good because the material was very warm). The skirt had an additional layer so it was a tiny bit puffy, which I liked. There are ribbons underneath the skirt which you can use to pull up the front of the skirt (like in the picture). The only part of the costume that is noticeably cheap are the buckles that connect from the corset piece to those ribbons. It's flimsy plastic and not easy to figure out how the ribbon attached (I didn't, I just sorta made do by tying them on).The corset is a fabric/foam material, so it has the benefit of being very comfortable. It isn't hard and tight like a normal corset, so be warned if you were expecting something to really hold you in--it won't. The corset has a black back (just like the top of the costume itself) and is elastic, so you will probably have to unlace the whole top and relace it to fit your exact size. I can see this being the one part of the costume that would be a touch too large for a size 12-14 girl or someone with a smaller bust. Note also that you need to untie the ribbons from the corset buckles before you rip the entire costume off over your head---yeah, I forgot. What a dope. The good news is the costume is decent (not super high quality, but not that cheap, sheer, crappy quality I've come to expect from costumes) so it will last through a bit of abuse and definitely from a few wears.I paired this with some black nylons, a treasure chest purse, and smoky eyes, and it worked well with minimal effort. Definitely consider giving this one a try, especially if you're worried about the fit.

I really didn’t have high hopes for this costume, but it actually looks super decent. My only complaint is the corset. It’s super cheaply made. It looked like it was about to break before I tried it on. After trying on one of the silver things where you slide the ribbon through popped off. If you plan on ordering this, I’d definitely order a corset on the side, and try to loosely include the one from the costume over it. Other than that, it’s super cute and really functional. I couldn’t figure out how to tie the front up, but I’m sure I could rig it with a safety pin or two. I will say the arms and bust area is a bit tight, but I have fat arms and chesticles. It’s not bad though, a bit uncomfortable, but nothing that would prevent me from wearing it. Overall, I did end up returning it, at no fault to the costume, I just decided to go as something different. I definitely do recommend this though, even with the issue of the corset.

I bought this for me for ren fest, and it fit great. Super easy to get dressed, and the material is light and breathable without feeling “cheap”. I haven’t ripped it and it washed great without any bleeding or fading.

I normally wear a 14-16/ Size XL, but I read the posted reviews that say it ran small and ordered a 2X. Good thing I did! The costume was marked size 18-20, and it fit just right. The dress is fine, but the "corset" fell apart the moment I tried it on. Having no time to order/ make a new costume, I carefully patched it up (it needed a lot of stitching/ planning), and made it work, but had I had the time I would have returned it. The corset doesn't stay up, it keeps sliding down, it offers no support at all, so for the next time I wear it I will actually stich the corset to the dress. My friend (who was hosting the party I was attending) actually ordered the same costume and she ended up not wearing it at all, because the corset fell totally apart the moment she tried it on. Seriously... it shouldn't fall apart like that when it's brand new! In the end, I think it looked good, and I got compliments on it, but it took a lot of time and effort to make it work.

I was afraid that since I'm about an 18/20 on top, about a 20 on bottom, I'd better get a 3x. I was pleasantly surprised to receive this and find that it fits perfectly with room. I could've gotten a 2x and had it work but I suspect it would be tight and a little bit less comfortable.You don't have to pull up the front to show a lot of leg, you can leave it down (which is perfect for me) while still being sexy.You can pull the sleeves up over your bra strap so you get a more boat-neck, or you can wear a strapless bra and have an off-the-shoulder look.As others have noted, the corset is pretty chintzy, being foam, but it's ok with me. It fits OK despite my extra-large bust, and the ribbon is (barely) long enough to tie. I'm a 42DDD.I bought a short black petticoat to wear under it and am charmed with how cute it looks.The seaming is overall good, although the sleeves are unhemmed.Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. It's EXACTLY what I wanted at a good price.

What a great pirate costume, although I did buy a different Bustier as this one was made out of a soft material it was perfect so much fun. Ships quickly.

I bought this for my wife to wear to a Halloween party. She said it fit well (xx-large) and was very comfortable. I think it was flattering for her body type as well.
