Carnival queen - costume discontinued by DreamGirl - review by panthercat23

I absolutely love costumes. For me they are not just costumes for a party or going out but also lingerie. When I saw this one I knew I wanted to add it to my collection, because it would make for something different every once in awhile. I was super happy when I saw this included in the holiday sale, I knew I had to buy it.

It comes in many different sizes, anywhere from small to 3x/4x. Needless to say this will fit a wide variety of people. I ordered an XL, which should fit someone with a 38-40 D/E chest. Personally I was not worried about any of the other measurements because I have found that if a piece is going to fit my chest than I will not have problems with it but if it fails to fit my chest than the rest of the garment will not fit either. But for comparison I will include my measurements.
Waist: 32 inches
Hips: 41 inches
Weight: 145 pounds
I know that it claims that at 145 pounds I should be able to fit in the large but the bodice would be very tight and uncomfortable for me.

Personally I have no issues with the fit of this costume. The shoulders I found a little uncomfortable to leave just on my arms and not pull up on my shoulders, but that's more personal opinion than anything else.

The light-up function of this is cute but a little cheesy. The stars on the cups light-up and blink. I think it would have been cool if they blinked in a pattern rather than just all on and all off.

The dress closes with a zipper in the back and a hook and eye closure at the top. Without the hook and eye the zipper would not stay up and the dress would fall off of my body. The one piece of the set that I'm not a fan of is the head scarf. I'm not sure how to tie it to make it look good and it just falls off. It would have been nice for some instructions to be included about how to tie the scarf.

I was impressed that the costume came with an extra set of batteries. The batteries are housed in the electronic box which has a pouch on the right side of the dress just behind the cup.

The dress is made of polyester and spandex. It is very streachy so each size will fit a range of people. It is a well made dress, even if a little cheep (the gold coins are plastic and the stitching that holds them on shows). This is an outfit that I would recommend to other people, it is well made for the price and a worthwhile investment.
