Pirates Of The Caribbean - Angelica Prestige Adult Costume

karendesign (27 September 2011)

This "deluxe" costume misses in authenticity. You'll have fun with it if you don't mind that it only roughly matches the original. I ordered size XL and it's plenty roomy. Nice that it includes many pieces. I'd give three-and-a-half stars if I could. If you want to know how it hits and misses with the original outfit worn by Penelope Cruz, read on. Chemise is acceptable, though sleeves are less voluminous than the original. Vest is OK, with fabric pattern that's close to the original, but missing trim, buttons, and ties. Pants are average--wear your leggings instead. I've seen better boot covers on a child's costume. Corset (really a waist cincher) is too short and gold braid too narrow. Belt buckle is a good facsimile of the real thing; original's gilded studs not included. Pleather belt has a scalloped edge; the real one has curved notches. Hat lacks upturned brim and braid. But the jacket really misses: wrong fabric design (original is all floral-and-scroll in the diamond arrangement, no lines) and wrong collar shape (not a stand-up) and fabric (way too shiny); sleeves aren't slit at the cuffs; no buttons (original had about a dozen self-covered); no pocket flaps, no trim from buttons to edges--in fact, no trim at all. Jacket upper--where I'm widest and biggest--gaps and has little shape.

Really disappointed. Thought that the quality was poor and did not look like the advert.
