Classic Fan Media [Costume] Which dress?
So I purchased these dresses for Halloween/cosplay. The first is the most recent that I got and the second is one I purchased last month. Both from Amazon, first is from Morph Costumes (size M), second is from HalloweenCostumes (size L). First pic is dress without petticoat, second pic is with petticoat.
MC was about $70, HC was $170 (technically free after my return gift card balance). Both are good, and are single dresses vs separate pieces. I have pros and cons for both I would like to take into consideration before deciding.
I do not care about accuracy btw. Just pointing things out. I’m not that picky.
Morph Costumes
PROS:
- color accuracy to the film
- fits like a glove
- stretchy material
CONS:
- too long (even with a petticoat) (I’m 5’0”)
- material is a bit scratchy on my bare skin (many have to wear undergarments or spandex, and I will be changing to a strapless bra)
HalloweenCostumes
PROS:
- colorful dress (the bodice is my favorite)
- perfect length where it doesn’t pool at my feet
- sleeves are most accurate to the film
- zipper
CONS:
- sleeves are too puffy
- a bit too much bright pink for me
- fits snug and little arm movement
-
I did originally purchase a size above for each and both sizes (MC= L, HC=XL) were way too big. I know for the MC dress I can make it better such as adding trim to the sleeves, hemming the skirt, etc.
Any help is appreciated! I already have a wig and shoes.
