Halloween Costume | Try this sexy one…

What buyers said about this costume:

5.0 out of 5 stars Great costume

Let’s face it…when Halloween rolls around us adults are usually stuck with those “cheapo” one-piece, one size fits most numbers on display at the large national party supply superstores.

I ordered this not really knowing what to expect, and was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and tried it on. I ordered the small and it fit like a glove. I normally fluctuate between a size 2-4 and I can tell you the sizing was very accurate. It said to hand wash but I threw it in on delicate and it came out beautifully. Dried it flat and it didn’t shrink or discolor whatsoever.

Finally, I can tell you that while this costume was available at Lover’s Lane for double what I paid for it, I got it from BuyCostumes for half the price. FYI, you can skip the hat (not included) and just add a simple black head scarf and it looks even more pirate-like!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quaility…. Leg Avenue Vixen Pirate Wench

I was very impressed and surprised at the quailty of this adorable costume especially for the money (under $40.00). The black part (corset) is made of strechy crushed velor, the rest of the outfit (the red Part) is made of cotton. The costume is all 1 piece with a zipper back. The top is off the shoulder with elastic. I ordered the XL, which I feel is just a tiny bit smaller than the size chart(fits like a 14) but the fabric gives and it looks fantastic on. I am very happy with this costume and would recommend Leg Avenue products.
