WOW ! When I ordered this costume I was just looking to get the cape , but when it arrived it is super nice and great quality. I now may actually want to wear this instead of what I had planned. The cape is a nice thick velvet like material (quite heavy) and a beautiful color red, it is a good length for me I am 5'2" & it covers my butt with a little to spare. The dress part is a perfect fit for me but keep in mind that I am only 88 lbs. on a good day, I ordered XS. When I actually first looked at it I thought no way , it looked like it would fit a barbie doll. I would say it does run small because it just fit me and I take a size 0. The only part that is big is the bust , I don't have much for boobs BUT this dress has enough room to put my head in where the boobs go. I can easily remedy that with a quick couple of stitches. One more thing the dress is SHORT , very short, I am not tall as stated above and this dress barely covers my crotch & butt. I would not wear it without thick tights or leggings unless at home for goofing around ! LOL. Seriously the costume is really quality material and very nice, much better than I had ever expected. I only needed the cape and now I guess I am going to be a seductive Little Red Riding Hood ! Who would have ever thought ? This costume can be very seductive if really want it to be , or can be a innocent , shy, Little Red Riding Hood, thats up to YOU. FYI : The white petticoat is attached to the dress and the bodice of the dress is black velvet , skirt is red same as the hooded cape. The petticoat is very picky it irritates your skin. I am going to wash it I am sure that will help. All in all I am thrilled with the costume ! Love it.
