Plus Size Tavern Maiden Costume

This is a really great costume, not cheap at all, actually good solid fabrics other than the belt. And I purchased a plus size version and it fit true to size. Totally worth the price tag..

Finally, a costume that fits AND looks good on a curvy body! And it's made of quality materials that don't feel cheap (except the belt, which is fabric).I normally wear a 2x and got a 3x, so definitely size up one. I like the corset piece with the ribbon. Not too tight around my arms like many costumes.Only downside is that the belt didn't fit around my waist. But I can just pin it and call it a day.Otherwise, it fits comfortably, complements my curves, looks great, and is even warm enough to wear in colder months.

I wear a solid 16 and 38dd in normal clothing.I bought the 2x costume and then read reviews and also ordered the 3x since some reviews said this runs way small. The 2x fit ok but had several of the loops in the front were ripped and or broken. This was a new costume so I can only chalk it up to really poor quality control. Luckily I had the 3x also and tried it on. The 3x fit well too.This style of dress has some leeway in it since the front is a loop and cinch style to make it fit. I preferred the larger of the two sizes since frankly the material is super cheap and I don't want to have anything too snug since I want to get a few nights use out of this (halloween and disney cruise pirate night).If I wore it like the model is wearing it with the top super tight and busting out....well let's just say with this material I might end up busting out. ;) Over all this is a really good looking costume that can be more modest if you size up a size or two and def is modest in the leg department.

Very impressed with the quality of this costume for the reasonable price. After reading the reviews, I decided to size up one size from my normal L-XL to 2X, and it fits perfectly. It comes with a belt which you can wear, or just keep the corset look. I also may try to pin up the front skirt a bit for a different look. Very good quality. Highly recommend! ☆☆☆☆☆

Great length I wasn’t tripping over it as a 5’4 gal in tennis shoes. The arms are a little tight but that’s because I’m bigger. Excellent costume!

Anytime I buy a costume, I try to get 2 sizes larger than what I would normally wear,, which is typically 1X, 16-18 unless the clothing is tight-fitting. I ordered a 3X, and found the dress to be a bit large. This was easy for me to work with, though. I pinned the top to the vest because I am not busty enough to fill the blouse, and the belt cinched the dress. I could have ordered a smaller size, but I am happy with the size that I got. It is a costume, not a formal. :-)The garment is high-quality for a costume. It is not a wear and toss costume, and it laundered well. I handwashed it, but I think it would be fine on the gentle cycle of a washing machine. I see no reason why I cannot wear it for a few more years. I would add that I expected to be too warm that day because most costumes require a layer or something underneath for decency. This costume is the exception. The skirt is a double layer, and nothing is transparent.The blouse, skirt, and vest are all sewn together. The belt is included. The hat is not included.

The material was very comfortable! The belt slips alot, but you could use a bit of hot glue to attach it for a more secure fit. I wore to Renaissance Faire and got so many compliments!I used some scrap fabric and made a different belt.

The costume looked good at face value and fit according to the size chart (as with most costumes, you should always order a size larger than what you need). My problem with the costume, as stated in other reviews, was the fact that at least half of the eyelets were not sewn into the costume and pulled out immediately upon cinching the corset (one half of most eyelets were sewn in the seam, but the other half was simply tucked into it and pulled out with the gentlest of tugs). I spent the evening before my event sewing the eyelets in. In addition, as also mentioned in previous reviews, the belt is pretty useless. I liked the gathering effect of the green skirt in the picture so I decided to take a brown hair tie to mimic this effect and it worked great (and made it so I didn't have to mess with the belt all day). I also changed the gold ribbon to a brown one to match the costume better. All in all, I love how the costume turned out and received compliments at the Renaissance Fair I went to, but felt I had to work a bit more than I should have in order to make the costume function as it should.
