This costume is awesome!  After reading the reviews, I could tell that it ran small so I ordered an extra large.. I believe this runs in junior sizing.  I am 5'4 and normally wear a size 6 or 8 in women's clothing.  I bought this in extra large and it fit me perfect.  I was the hit of the party in this outfit!  Very sexy, made well and comfortable.  A definite must.

I went to a costume party and everyone raved about this costume! The belt is a bit confusing to put on, but the costume is cute.

This costume was great. I bought it for my tall just-turned-2 year old. We bought the large, and it just fit perfectly. Maybe a touch short in the legs, but overall it was great. And the costume was a huge hit! We got many compliments on it, and he loved wearing it. It's one piece with leg snaps, so it was easy to use, like putting on a onesie. The material doesn't feel cheap, and it is lined so he didn't need a jacket on a 45F night. Total success!

I am so pleasantly surprised with the quality of this costume! There must be two different versions of it being sent out. We must have received the good version. We paid only $15 for this, so I wasn't expecting the quality to be all that great, but it by far exceeded my expectations. The mask is a hard plastic, and it looks exactly like the twenty dollar deluxe masks I see in the stores. It's formed perfectly, and my son said it was comfortable to wear. The body suit is a light fabric that feels silky to the touch. It looks like it will be breathable, which is great. It goes on in one piece, and then velcros up the back. The pads (elbow and knee) come wrapped up in the mask. They are not purple like the picture shows, they are brown, which my son was happy about. They are 3D, and they velcro around the elbows and knees with elastic to hold on. The shell velcros on as well. Once it's stuffed with paper it will have a 3D effect. Hopefully this is now the version of the costume they will be sending out. It sounds like the other version isn't nearly as nice.

I honestly did not expect this costume to be this good! Everything looks just like in the picture. All the buckles and straps are real and can be adjusted a bit. (-A bit-; I don't think it would well if your shape is very different from the model in the picture.) The stitches too; it's very 3D. The blades from the gloves had fallen off when it arrived, but I can't bring myself to take a single point off for that because the suit, pants, and boots are so great. They can be glued back easily, I think. Not sure which way the wig should go, but it looks fine both ways.

I purchased the XXXL size costume as I am 6'2' 260 and it fit great.  The only issue I had was with the Obi sash which after you put the layers on, made the belt slightly small to go over my mid section.  I cured this by purchasing 2 inch tall Velcro and sewed on next to the existing Velcro on the  sash which worked like a charm.  One other thing to keep in mind is you need to purchase an earth tone t-shirt to go under the entire customer.  Now, the quality of the materials was outstanding.  For those of you who were questioning, this is a costume you could wear over and over.  The most unspectacular part of the costume was the belt, but it serves its purpose.  One other thing to keep in mind if you live in a warmer climate (we live in the south) this thing is hot when you put all the layers on.  A nice cool night and this thing will keep you warm.  I recommend this costume and if you check out the review before me, there is a picture attached with the costume in us!

Got this for my nearly 4-yr-old daughter for Halloween.  She absolutely loved it and so did everyone who saw her in it.  It is just like it's pictured.  Very ballgown-like, yet comfortable on the inside (I was worried it would be itchy/rough, but it's soft inside).  We didn't see anyone else dressed in this costume.  I know most costumes cost more, too, and they're not near as nice.  They only had a size 4 left and my daughter is pretty small so I thought I'd have to take it in, but it was fine.  I think it will still fit her next year though, which is great.  But for anyone wondering, I think it runs a bit small.  So happy I got it!  Highly recommend.

The costume is very cute, and my son loves it, but I am really glad I read the reviewers comments.  Order a size bigger than you think you need!  I ordered a size 4-6 even though my son still fits some 2T clothes, and it fits perfectly.  In fact, it will be too small next year.

Very comfortable costume. After reading some of the reviews, I got both a S and a M, and the M turned out to be WAY too large on me. The shipping, I expected it to get here early Oct-mid Oct, but it got here in less than a week from the time ordered- VERY fast!! Usually it takes a few weeks, being an FPO/AP address. Quality of costume is great, and it still looks alright, the only reason why it didn't get 5 is because of the sizing. I'm 5'6, 145-150 lbs, and I got a bigger size because I am pregnant and will be 4 months at the time this will be worn- but even if I did have a little bit of a belly, it's still quite large and I'd still be swimming in it!

This costume is insanely hilarious. After I had it shipped to my office, I immediately put it on with the help of my colleagues--tucking in the neck flaps into the body suit was tough for me alone. Everyone was stunned and shocked with laughter when they saw me. I can't wait to wear it on the street. :D

As far as the other review with the head, I had the same problem with the head having creases and wrinkles in it. Since the skirt flaps were also folded very tight into the packaging, I'll probably have to iron them out as well. In regards to the upright position of the head...well, it won't stay up by itself. According to other reviews on the original gingerbread man, some stuffing and/or additional wiring will be required. The backing of this suit is secured by a small square piece of velcro that will probably come loose if you move too much or lean forward. Adding a long strip of velcro or zipper will help keep the breeze off your back if you plan on trick or treating in the evening. If you don't want people to see your face from the mouth portion of the mask, you may want to add some sort of screen or mesh to cover it. In terms of the standard size, the legs came up short on my 5'10" height The arms sleeves were long enough for my 34/35" lengths. Considering my 180lb average frame, the suit fit very loose.

In regards to the missing scimitar/inflatable lollipop...well, the product description said nothing about it so I assumed it did not come with the suit. Although, I'll have to admit that lollipop was very difficult to find, but eventually I got lucky with Costume Kingdom. Be warned though, it does not resemble anything close to the picture. The scimitar portion is made of vinyl and the colors are actually really soft compared to the darker rich colors you see on the pictures. The shaft itself is a gray plastic [not white!] that comes in 3 pieces.

I make a lot of my purchases based on both reviews and price.  The other reviews were great, but I thought a Halloween costume for over $20 was too pricey (what can I say, I'm a cheapskate) but I decided to buy it anyway.  I love this costume!!!  I purchased it for my 3 year old, both the dress and cape was almost to her ankles, but I know she will use it to play with for a long time.  I agree with another reviewer, it is much nicer than the pictures, the black vest is like a velvet material and it is a thicker material, not flimsy at all.  If you look at the other Little Red Riding Hood costumes, most of the capes come just past the shoulders, this one is long.  The only criticism it how the cape fastens.  It fastens fine with a thick piece of Velcro, but they give you a long piece of material to tie into a bow and you slide it on that strap that comes across to close. That's odd to me.  Otherwise it is an awesome costume.

I love this costume. Thankfully, I read the reviews before purchasing. We have a 7 month old grandson and he is larger than most (21 pounds/ 30 inches). I almost purchased the 12-18 months because he is already in 12 month clothing (for his length) but read the reviews that the costume runs large. The 12 month fit him perfectly. He definitely will not wear it in a few months, though.
The costume is four pieces. The hood has Velcro to hold under the chin. The bodysuit is one piece. There are two feet and they slip on like socks. I love it! Too cute!

I loved it because it was an absolute hit at the costume event I attended. I must have been asked 30-40 times for photos, and all the kids at school genuinely liked "gingy." I loved that it was somewhat bright and colourful, and really catches your attention. I did make some minor changes such as sewing black meshing across the mouth, making big purple pom pom balls for the gumdrop buttons, gluing more velcro on the back, as well as placing light blue felt over the eyebrows. I also bought a massive candy cane as an extra prop..and VOILA! the costume was fantabulous!

Despite all of these..i hated how floppy the head was. I couldn't get it to stand up right for more than 2 minutes. Eventually, i caved in and stuffed a V shaped pillow inside the head (which seemed to work well- however without any repercussions). I wore this costume during a 27-29 degree (celsius) day....so with the pillow encased around my head-compounded by the overall material..i was essentially cooking. I think i took off the head 20 times during the day because it was sooooo hot. If you are looking to buy this costume, try taping some foam boards in the head (because i wished i had done that).

Overall: You will LOVE this costume...just be prepared to make some changes if you don't want to be inconvenienced too much :)

We just received my son's Revet costume! He couldn't wait to get it on. It is supper adorable. Keep in mind it does run on the big side. My son is 3'2 and the costume it too long on him. I'm not worried because he'll probably have another growth spurt before the end of the month, and he'll get to wear this costume for a while after Halloween.

Great costume. Looked and worked better than I expected. The fan worked well and was reasonably quiet. I used Alkaline batteries and they lasted most of the night. The material is thin and a little see through. I recommend white sweatpants and a white t-shirt underneath. The party I wore it to was outside at night and I wish I had worn some LED lights underneath the suit.

Be aware that wearing this costume is a commitment! Sitting down requires turning off the fan and deflating. People will poke you as though you're the Pillsbury Dough Boy. They will also hug the air out of you. Don't worry - the inflation fan will have you back up in less than 30 seconds. Bathroom breaks are tough. Dancing is limited but funny in a blow up suit. People can't see your face, which can be either good or bad.

Overall, a great costume that is definitely different. You don't have to worry about a bunch of other people showing up in the same outfit!

This costume is awesome! Don't listen to the others they are just picky and ungreatful just because it isn't like a replica of the movie. I loved wearing it.

This costume is very good quality, very nice looking.  I bought this for my wife's band's Halloween gig, it was superhero themed - she was the hit of the party.  They run large, so if you're worried that you're on the edge of the sizing, go for the smaller one.  I actually bought it in two sizes because there wasn't time to return and reorder; we ended up returning the L because the M was just perfect.  The cape is sort of shiny, as is the skirt, and the boot covers look great, so it was really fun.  This costume doesn't look cheesy or cheap, so I highly recommend it!
