Rubies Asian Princess Costume for Kids

Beautiful costume! Well-made and exactly what we needed for a school play.

This product runs big. I got a large.for.an extremely tall 9 year old and it touched the ground. If your kid is short or average height you'll want to size down. It also.runs big in the waist and chest. I had to tie it in at the waist to make it look right and the chest was baggy. My kid is 58 inches tall 72 lbs. Chest 26. Waist 25. Hip 28. Medium would have been a bit short but a better fit for us.

The quality isn't the greatest (it is definitely a one-time Halloween costume), but that isn't noticeable just by looking at it. The headpiece is kind of laughable...it's flattened and almost impossible to 'fluff' back to a shape that looks good. I ended up putting a couple of chopsticks in her bun. Sizing is a tad small. My girl is typically in 6x or 7, and I'm very glad I ordered the 8-10. The hem was just a smidge too long, but a couple of safety pins fixed that. Ordering a size up also gave us room to fit pants and a heavy long-sleeved shirt underneath, which was great since we didn't have to cover the costume up with a jacket. Bottom line: I'm very happy with this for the look and price, even if the fabric didn't hold up too well after a night of walking through bushes & catching the hem.

I bought this for my daughter who was having an Ancient Culture Day at school, where she had to dress up from an Ancient Culture, and she chose China. The dress fit perfectly and she loved it, plus it was a big hit among the other kids at school. The only thing that we don't like is the hair piece that comes with it. It is a little cheap, and flimsy and doesn't fit or stay in her hair very well. Overall we love it, and it would be perfect for any girl who is looking for a Asian Costume.

NEGATIVES: Costume was a TERRIBLE fit; very odd proportions, uncomfortable, and unwearable without MAJOR alterations (inc. the hair ornament!) POSITIVES: Colors were pretty - Costume made it through Trick-or-Treating without falling apart THE DRESS: I bought this for my 6 yr old...what's to fit??? She's tall for her age so I usually have to buy clothes made for older girls. This usually means that some aspect of the item is a little large, like, the sleeves being too long. This was NOT the case with this costume. Far, far from it. Although the length was fine, my mother and I spent the week before Halloween splitting the seams along the arms -from armpit to below the elbow- and completely removing the elastic band from the waist area. We were forced to leave the arm seams open, only sewing the sides to prevent further fraying. To help camouflage the, now, gaping sleeves problem, we had her wear a light pink, long-sleeve shirt underneath the costume. It also helped that we waited until after sundown to begin our evening. THE HAIR ORNAMENT: See how this hair ornament sits atop the little girls head in the photo? We managed to get the same effect, but, first, we had to anchor the flower to the hair comb, and then do the same with the fan to the flower. A few quick stitches did the trick, but my mom and I were so frustrated at this point that it seemed a MAJOR bother. This costume was so "off" that we decided to make an entirely different costume ( based on the Bloobytack character from G Is for One Gzonk!: An Alpha-number-bet Book ) for her school's Halloween Parade. However, that ended up being a lot of fun to create! We felt the kimono was just too awkward for her to slip on by herself. In the end, she did look adorable, and she and her father -who wore the Kabuki Warrior Adult Costume - received loads of compliments. I mentioned in the beginning of this review that the colors of the kimono were very pretty, and that is the truth, but I'll pay the extra $10 and stick to costume stores with fitting rooms for our future costume needs.

First, I will say my daughter loved this costume. The material was ample and the colors nice. That being said, let me add that my daughter loved the costume after I finished sewing the entire thing up after receiving it. The pink trim that goes across the chest was not sewn on property and was flopping all over. The sleeves where it attaches to the hanging part had to be re-sewn to lay correctly. The hairpiece was useless and she decided not to even use it, which was unfortunate because that was the part she loved the most in the picture. The fan detached from the comb as it came out of the bag, and even gluing it wouldn't fix it. Given what I now know, I realized it would have been easier to see the costume and go to the fabric store and make it myself. Oh, yeah, if you want the pink waist piece to look at all normal, you have to sew the top and bottom to the dress so that it stays in the shape it's supposed to be. Also, don't forget to clip all those loose threads that they leave hanging from all the seams. Bottom line, sew your own. It will be faster and cheaper and you will have a better quality fabric to begin with.

I know a lot of people posted that this is a cheap costume, but for the price I thought it was amazing. We had no problems with ripping or tearing. My daughter wore it to her school party and played outside on the playground. She is tall for a 5 year old and we got the Medium because people said it runs small. We had to hem it. No problems otherwise. I believe costumes should be this price and this quality for something that will be worn once for importance and many other times as dress up in our home. The hair piece really stole the show!!!

I bought it for my 7-year-old daughter, the size was perfect and she loved it.

This costume came super fast and the quality is there. Not like some bargain shop brands. This is a little thicker and built to last a few seasons.

Lo utilicé para un festival de la escuela de mis hijas y super bien! La calidad está en relación con el precio. Muy bonito.
