If you're seeking a sexy but not too extreme Halloween costume, then this swashbuckler outfit fits the bill.

Pros

Multiple sizes available, easy to find ideal fit. Comfortable to wear, fabric is breathable. Can be adjusted for modesty.

Cons

Material is thin, sheer. Some pieces fit better than others. Hat can arrive crushed or flattened. Midriff is exposed, but adjustments are possible.

Bottom Line

"Flower Child" is a very popular costume, and this version is well-designed and affordable.

Pros

Material is silky, very wrinkle resistant. Includes a number of accessories. Ideal for 60s or 70s theme parties.

Cons

The skirt may be too short for some wearers, so we recommend wearing shorts or tights underneath. Sizing runs smaller than expected. Not ideal for women with larger busts.

Bottom Line

This catsuit accentuates curves, provides a sleek silhouette, but still provides full body coverage.

Pros

Form-fitting, but not too revealing. Runs true to size. Fabric breathes well, no overheating.

Cons

Decorative "bones" can peel off costume. May not actually glow in the dark as advertised. Fabric is very sheer, described as "see-through".

Bottom Line

For those seeking an elegant costume with a royal flare, this Queen Of Hearts design fits the bill. Works as both a theatrical and Halloween costume.

Pros

Theatrical quality design and material. Beautiful details, with full skirt and bodice. One size fits most wearers.

Cons

Not an ideal fit for very petite women. Sheds a significant amount of glitter. Costume requires careful fluffing and other adjustments before use.
