Buy this over the "California Costumes Snow White"!
I never write reviews, but I read every last one before buying something. So I figured, it's my time! I'm a first time mom and was looking for a cute "theme" for my little family. I am extremely beyond picky when it comes to costumes, I normally will rent one so its the real deal instead of buying something cheap! But, this year I don't have time to deal with rentals with the baby! I'm also 33 and don't wanna look like a hooker Snow White out with my son, which already narrows down my costume options.
The 2 top reviews long Snow White dresses were this one by "Disguise Costumes" and the one by "California Costumes" (that one actually had more reviews). From the pictures alone, I automatically liked this one but was driving myself crazy because the other one had more reviews. Finally to stop the madness I bought both, which is why I finally decided to write a review. GET THIS ONE, hands down.
Both have the same cons as far as a "standard Halloween costume"- sleeves are right on both and both don't touch the ground (I'm 5'8") and hate high-water dresses. But that is what I expected- I already planned on heming it to "tea length" with a red tea- length petticoat under it.
Both seem to run big, go with your size dress and not small, medium, large. I am a 10 so I normally wear larges in retail, but on both their sizing charts it said a 10 was medium so medium I went. Both fit well.
Basically the "California Costumes" is cheap. Poor, gross fabric- not flattering to anyone I could only assume. It was the reason why I don't normally buy "standard Halloween costumes!"
This one by "Disguise" quality is WAY better! Looks great!
I know not everyone is as picking as I am- but hopefully my OCD will help someone decided!
