Scarlet DarknessOktoberfest Carnival Costumes for Women German Dirndl Cosplay Dress

I bought this dress for Oktoberfest. I usually wear a small had to size up to cover the cleavage area. The colors are beautiful. The dress itself is very nice. It came very wrinkled and it took me quite awhile to iron it. The shirt that came with it is cute once put together with dress however it felt cheap and was very light weight material, the lace trim was a bit off in color. The apron was fine. I did get many compliments so for me as a costume it was great.

In the photo I was 8 months pregnant going to a German festival it fit perfectly due to the looser flared bottom half of the dress. I am no longer pregnant and it still fits wonderfully! I love how easy it is the put on. The quality of the fabric is wonderful, the details of the corset clasp is beautiful. It is easy to move around in and the functionality is great!

Super cute, easy to wash, easy to put on!Quality material and sewing, size is pretty accurate from what's recommended.For reference, I am currently a size 18, 40DD, and I bought the XXL. It fit fine, even in the chest.There is NO stretch, so sizing up is probably a good idea if you're unsure about fit, or you want to avoid it being too fitted.

I love this dress, and it arrived just before Oktoberfest (which I ended up being unable to attend for personal reasons). The materials and quality are ridiculously nice. I love all the little details! The only issue I had (which is arguably the biggest) is the size. I checked the measurements listed and ordered the largest size possible. I knew it was going to be a tight squeeze, but it still should have fit. I honestly thought it would be the blouse that wouldn't fit over my boobs, but it surprised me. It was the dress that was way smaller than advertised. I couldn't even get the two sides of the zipper to meet. There is absolutely no hope of being able to wear the dress (at least not until my reduction surgery, which is why I'm going to hold onto it instead of return it).If it does happen to be your size, I highly recommend this! I'm not exaggerating when I say how gorgeous it is. Just prepare your iron because it will arrive fairly wrinkled.For reference: I normally wear a US woman's 16/18 or XL (depending on the item); my measurements are about B: 50" W: 35" H: 53". The blouse barely fit over my chest, but it was fairly comfy once I got it on. The dress wouldn't zip at all, if I remember correctly, so I can't say how it fit my waist.UPDATE: I just realized I never updated this review. I'll keep the original because I think it holds important information.I got a breast reduction last winter. I went from a 50" bust to a 45". To put into better perspective, I went from a G cup to roughly a C or B cup (depending). The blouse definitely fits a little more loosely...but the dress still doesn't fit me. It's not because of my weight, it's simply not designed for broader-bodied people. And I don't mean fat, I mean broad. Fat aside, I have a fairly broad torso for a female, and this dress, sadly, was not designed with my body type in mind.For those who are of similar build, I hope this information helps you.

Costume arrived with the wrong shirt (received a long sleeve that kind of looks like a pirate shirt) but I couldn’t get a replacement before the event I needed it for. I ended up rolling up the sleeves and it did the job!

Bought this early for Oktoberfest this year since I may go to several and would like to have different looks. It’s about as authentic as you can get in modern America! (I do have a real dirndl that is def better quality, but this is a close second that would fool anyone—at least after it’s ironed/de-wrinkled lol!)I love the print and the vibrancy of the colors; very true to the pix online. I do also feel like I can wear this without a slip (ie it’s not see-through).The chemise is decent quality (not premium, but does a good job) and I love the trim detail! The chemise also runs a little big, and the whole dress is maybe half an inch too big, so while I’m glad I bought the 2XL, I’d def want to wear this with a bra (whereas with my real dirndl I don’t need to wear a bra). Regardless, this dirndl is very comfy, I can move around freely, and with the apron cinched and tied around the waist, it makes it the perfect size for me.The apron and the bodice laces are a satiny/silky texture and better quality than I expected! And I appreciate that this is a more modern-traditional length (not skimpy short) and that the apron ties are long in order to properly tie around the waist.The whole thing def needs to be ironed or steamed and I do wish it had pockets, but those are both easy fixes. :)Overall, I’m extremely happy with my purchase and can’t wait to wear it!!For reference, I am 5’3”, 180lbs, and my measurements are 44-36-46. I bought the 2XL and it was a tiny bit loose all around, but I think a size down would not have zipped around my bust. At least I can breathe and move in this and the apron helped shape the whole thing up just fine!

Love love love! The color the quality everything was perfect! I felt so cute at October fest! It actually was very nice quality and felt very secure in it. I thought it fit true to size. I wore it for like 8 hours and was comfortable the whole time! It was thick where it looked good quality but still breathable! I definitely didn’t get too hot!

Def not worth 45.00. The apron is very cheap looking/feeling. The sizing was off so I had to return for a bigger size. Once that one arrived, it had no tags on it (as if used) and the white under shirt was missing!!! So I had to do yet another return. I had to get another because my daughter needed for a play and we were out of time getting her a costume, so I was stuck with the product. I wouldn't recommend this dress at all. I'm waiting for the third one to arrive tomorrow, I'll update further if that one is also missing tags and items. It has been a pain to say the least!! I'd look elsewhere
