SmiffysMen's Dark Opera Masquerade Costume

The party was a Murder Mystery Party and everyone was costumed up, about 25 different costumes. I'm at far right wearing my "Best Costume" ribbon. When researching this costume, one reviewer said the mask was uncomfortable. Another said, ditch the mask string and use Body and Lingerie tape instead. I bought "Voch Gala Body & Lingerie Tape", also from Amazon. I also bought an emergency mask from a different Amazon supplier that would be more comfortable, but didn't look nearly as good.The mask that came with the costume was initially uncomfortable. When I removed its mask string and used the tape, it became quite comfortable. But I found that to make it stay put in practice, I had to first clean my face with rubbing alcohol. The outfit fit perfectly, that unique silver mask stayed on my face all night. The costume was top notch and the mask nailed my win!

I purchased this costume for a New Year's Eve masquerade party.The sizing was exactly as advertised and what I expected. The costume itself is cheaply made with cheap materials, but I'm still rating it 5-stars because of how realistic and authentic the entire ensemble looked and how many compliments I received at the party. The red faux velvet vest feels very real to the touch, and the black gloves are very sleek and shiny, which I thought give it that extra touch. The mask is exactly as described and uses a rubberband-like piece to go over your head.As long as you aren't going to be rolling around in the dirt or wrestling in this costume, I would highly recommend it with the caution that you are careful with the buttons on the vest and with the cape itself. Otherwise, it's really a stand-out costume that I would wear again and recommend to friends and family.

The mask definitely did not fit my face, my nose was squished all the time so I had to throw it away in an hour

I ordered the medium and it fits comfortably. I'm 5'6 and 150lbs it fits just right I have no doubt it would fit someone a couple inches taller and slimmer. It looks like the picture and the quality is just okay although a little over priced but it looks cool. My only complaint is the mask is too small, I'm not a big guy but this mask is for kids and it looks cheaply made. Also be careful if you own a cat he will chase you around the apartment trying to grab the cape, just thought I'd share that.

Very nice costume. Be aware that this is based on the Phantom of the Opera 2004 movie and not the Broadway play. Added a better mask from Etsy and a black fedora to complete the outfit.

I ordered this for our baby shower I would recommend getting a different mask. The one that it comes with is not the greatest. It pokes you in the eye as you where it. Also pulls on your nose very uncomfortable.But overall the rest of the outfit was fantastic you will need to have black pants and I used a white tee underneath. If not you would probably be showing some chest hair in there.

Before I became the Phantom, I was captain of a pirate ship. That costume also from this seller. These are not junk costumes. They are pretty darn good for multiple wear. The pirate costume won a best award last year. The Phantom performed a tango and looked great. Again these are quality costumes.Great for the price.

Item arrived far later than was promised and now Amazon says it is not available for return. Party is over and have no need for the duplicate costume. Item is trash and a waste of money.
