Rubies at Party City DC Comics Superheroes: Supergirl Costume Dress for Adults, Women's Costume

I was truly surprised about everything. Quality is great and half the price of the costume shops. My costume arrived in 2 days. The packaging was very well done. Material is nice, stretchable, lightweight, and breathable. Comes w dress, cape, belt, and boot/leg cover thingies. Everything you need for the full costume. I'm 5'10, 150 lbs, size 4/sm. Read reviews so I ordered down a size and ordered a xs, I definitely could have pulled off my normal small. It's a costume so don't mind it a little short n fitted but I believe they are true to size. I do have larger legs and the boot covers fit just fine. however the foot part is to short, definitely not their fault I have a size 10 foot. It's an easy fix considering the rest of it is on point. I know it looks short on me but I'm tall and ordered down a size. Confession ... I received it less than 24 hours ago and I've fully put it on 3 times, It's perfect! PS: I also never do reviews but it was worth one.

For the price this is a cute, colorful, comfortable costume. The material is lightweight. The skirt is a couple of inches shorter than I thought it would be. I didn’t did wear shorts underneath. So, was careful about raising my arms up.

I quite liked this costume. The blue material is very velvety. However, the red cape, skirt, and boots are made of a material that easily sticks together. This didn't matter so much for the cape and skirt, which were packaged in such a way that they were undamaged, but the belt and boot covers are folded together in this tiny bag. When I tried to take them apart, I found the material was fused together and even though I managed to pry them apart (and open the boot covers, which had fused to themselves), there were a lot of striations where the paint had torn away. I returned the costume and the next one was much improved, with paint damage to the boot covers confined to only a few specks. The belt is very large. I cut mine up and sewed it to fit my hip-size. Even though it sat on my hips perfectly, as I wore it, it began to rise up from my hips to my waist (since there is nothing on the costume to keep the belt in in place). Either you'll have to leave the belt super-big so it doesn't ride up, or else you'll have to take it in like I did, but add some belt loops to the sides of your costume to keep it from riding up. On both of the costumes I ordered (the original and the replacement), the Superwoman shield is slightly askew --- the original more so than the replacement. The cape is cool and I like how broad it is, but it only comes down to right above the skirt. That is problem, because the skirt is very short (and is in fact shorter in the back than it is in the front, which is almost the opposite of what one wants!) Btw, I ordered a small and am 5'5". A longer cape would have helped hide the skirt's "shortcoming." I had to wear black nylons underneath my costume, since any position other than standing straight up would have exposed my butt. The shirt is very wide-cut. The sleeves barely hang onto my shoulder, which is problematic, since none of my bras have straps that wide. It is also rather low-cut, but not cleavage-baring unless you bend over. The collar sits at about the same height as my bra. I did like how the sleeves taper down over the back of my hands. The boot covers are quite snug. At first, I was afraid I would not be able to get them on. I finally had to pull them over my boots, and THEN put on my boots --- it's impossible to do it the other way around. They weren't constricting once they were on, though, which was a plus. However, there is no way to get them to cover the whole shoe --- they are simply too thin and short --- they pop off the toe instantly. They strap underneath the shoe with a thin piece of velcro, so you have to wear boots or walking will be uncomfortable. I wore black boots and let the cover just rest on top of my shoes. About 1.5" of black boot toe was exposed, but it still looked very good. I had people tell me they didn't realize the boot cover and the boots were two separate things. The only other thing to mention is the wrinkles. Because the belt arrives folded up so tightly, it is severely wrinkled in weird places. The skirt and cape is also wrinkled because of the material they're made of. Hanging up the costume helped only slightly. Since it cannot be ironed, there is really no way to get them out. However, they don't really detract from the costume as long as you know they WILL be there. All in all, I was glad of my purchase, but only because I wasn't afraid to return the damaged one and get a replacement. There were lots of ways it could be improved, but for the price, it wasn't too bad.

I bought this costume for my niece. She is a busty 12/14, so I originally ordered the Plus Size. It was beautiful, but the arms hung off the edge of her wrists and the shoulders where the cape was sewn on turned the neckline outwards. Also, the neckline was off, no matter what bra went under it and the belt was a hula hoop. I got the large size. (Note, there is a "one size" plus size and although it was big on her, I don't think it would work well for every size and shape of plus size people.) Again, the costume was very nice- vibrant color, decent materials (velvet-ish top, metallic skirt and cape, sturdy sewn on "S" patch, foam metallic velcro belt, metallic boot covers). This time the cape was attached with velcro. The proportions were smaller, which was good and bad. The waist was not as dropped (the "v" was very close to her belly button) and the skirt was shorter. The fit was much better on top, but there was concern about the skirt. The front fell a little above the knee, but the back rode up some (She is about 5'5). We remedied that with stockings (hosiery, not leggings) and the boot covers helped. There was not a problem getting the boot covers up the leg, but the bottoms are a joke. The front is this small point shaped flap of material and you step through a piece of elastic to keep it on. They do not cover like the woman in the picture. With booties and some tucking, they were able to work. The belt was large even in the smaller size, but safety pins worked all day. The cape stayed on firmly. Overall, we were both happy and I hope to donate this costume, as it is nice and was only worn once.

The product itself is nice, but the belt is huge—I had to use a safety pin just to make it fit—and the boot top doesn’t work at all. What really disappointed me, though, is how Amazon changes prices so quickly. I paid $64, and just a few days later it dropped to $42. Why not charge a fair, consistent price for everyone? Really frustrating.

This is a beautifully made costume. The long sleeves kept me warm enough for a coolish Halloween night in Virginia. I spent a lot of time reading reviews trying to figure out the size, so here's my info if it helps anyone. I am 5'3" and at the time I ordered the costume I weighed 150 lbs. I can't seem to find my measurements at that time, but I was trying to decide between large and extra large. Reviews seemed to lean that this ran big, so I ordered a large. By Halloween I actually lost 6 lbs, so was 144. My measurements at that point were: 36.5 bust 32 smallest part of waist 36.5 natural waist 40 hips If your measurements are like these, order the medium. The large fit ok and comfy, but I had plenty of extra material, so I pinned the back to make it a slimmer fit. The gold belt was enormous and so I also pinned that with a ton of overlap. The boot covers were perfect over a pair of high boots (I wear a 6.5 shoe with wide calves). The little points on the bottom are sort of silly because they don't have elastic to cover the toes, but ankle up looked good. Very happy with this costume.

It was superhero day at work for a kids fundraiser, I wanted to be Supergirl as I love the tv series. I followed the advice from other reviews and sized down. It fit me perfect! It’s a little loose in the torso area but super duper flattering and if you’re blessed with a big bust it fits better. I bought a small and I’m usually a true size medium at 5’6” and 145lbs. The material is great for a costume, not sweat wicking though, so it gets hot if it’s warm outside. The top is like a velvety material and I got compliments all day saying I looked like Kara Danvers (Supergirl). The only bummer was that the shoe covers don’t really cover shoes, so I tucked in the bottom half with a pair of vans. And if you have big calves (like me) it’s a tight squeeze, but it was a good thing so I didn’t have to worry about them falling off my leg! Highly recommend.

I live in Canada and I ordered off the USA Amazon.com site. I ordered it on Thursday October 25, 2012 in the evening. It got to my house on Monday, October 29, 2012 even though I chose the slowest and cheapest shipping. Well done Amazon!! I'm very pleased about that. I ordered it thinking it would arrive too late and was going to use it for next year. I have been looking for a Supergirl costume that doesn't show the stomach. The only one I can get in my city in Canada is the two piece Supergirl costume that bares your stomach, which isn't really my style. When I saw this one in a full dress, I had to jump on it! I am not a consistent size in Rubies costumes. I fit an XS for Wonder Woman perfectly, but the XS Batgirl costume was too big. I decided to try the XS anyways because if it was too big I could always take it in, and since other reviewers said to get a size smaller I figured it likely wouldn't be too small. Well it pretty much fits perfectly, a tiny bit loose in the waist but tightening the belt hides that. The belt is extremely large, so you do have to adjust the velcro with some quick sewing. The quality of the costume is very good. The blue is a velveteen material and the cape, skirt, and boot covers are the typical shiny Halloween costume material. It is comparable to a $60 to $70 + tax costume here in Canada (that's how much the 2 piece Supergirl costume here is, and it is the same company and materials). As other reviewers have said, the skirt is short in the back, it just covers my butt cheeks. I think this is because the front goes down in a V, so the front looks longer. I will just have to wear shorts under neath or black tights. People are correct in saying that the boot covers are tiny. They are really tight, and I would say I have average calves. The bottom of the boot covers are also too small to actually pull over whatever shoes/boots you are wearing, so I am not sure what to do about that. Maybe buy red shoes? I might buy those boots other reviewers have been talking about. To compare, my Wonder Woman boot covers (also made by Rubies) were large enough to pull over regular boots that I wore. So in the end, I took off 1 star because of the strange fitting boot covers and the large belt. But otherwise it is a very good quality costume, especially for what you are paying for. To help with size and fit, I am 5'6", 125 lbs with a thin muscular/toned build and I normally fit a dress size 0-2. People often estimate me at 110lbs by the way I look. The XS was only a little bit loose in the waist.

Fatanstico

Great outfit! Please keep in mind this is American sizing when purchasing.

Tres belle qualité de deguisement, taille normalement.botte a fixer sur un collant sinon ca glisse. Ceinture a ajuster. Mais faisable facilement

La tela es cómoda y suave, además de la calidad de costura, bastante bueno.

Il costume è fantastico le taglie rispettano la realtà forse sono leggermente abbondanti. Ma il costume è fatto benissimo un gran successo
