Women's Japan high Waisted Pleated Cosplay Costumes Skirts¡­

Excellent material and perfect color for velma! I defiently recommend this skirt

For reference, my waist is 28 in., my hips are 36 in., and my upper thigh circumference is 20.5 in. I bought an XL (29.5 inch waist) with the idea in mind that I could have extra room for shirts and sweaters to tuck in. However, I had WAY too much room. The skirt fit right above my hips.. And I wanted to wear it high-waisted. I measured the skirt's waist and found that it was approximately 30 inches.. So, just a warning - their measurements aren't exact. Sewing the button flap back and on the inside of the waistband (see 5th pic) didn't help. I'm not sure what I'll do - add an elastic waistband, reduce the size of some/all of the pleats, cut out a pleat or two entirely? It's tricky to make a pleated skirt smaller through alterations so you have to be 100% sure to get the correct size. Before ordering, I knew that an L (27 inch waist) definitely would not fit. As an aside, I'm not sure why there's a whole 2.5 inch increment between an L and an XL?? From the XL to the 4XL, the increment between each size is only 1.5 inches. I really wish the sizing was consistent and that there was a 28.5 inch size!****EDIT: They've since fixed the sizing increments. Now there is a 1.5 inch increment between every size. It used to be that the L was 27 in. and the XL was 29.5 in. Currently, the L is 28 inches. If only that were the case when I bought this skirt three months ago....**** When the skirt arrived, there was a crease where the skirt was folded for packaging. After ironing the entire skirt over twice, I managed to smooth it out. The pattern is bright and cute. The pleats are a decent size (1.75 inches wide). The length of the skirt itself is about 15.5 inches, the same for every size. The material is light, but it definitely isn't sheer. In the last picture I'm holding one part of the skirt up to light to show how thin the material is. It's definitely some sort of cotton/polyester blend. HOWEVER, you cannot see through the skirt at all. It's light enough to wear in the spring, and even summer. Also, the skirt does not flare out as much as in the product picture which was a bit of a bummer. It was clearly made to be worn on the hips, and NOT on the waist. It's misleading to advertise it as high-waisted. NOTE: I think a lot of reviewers are saying that it "runs small" because they didn't measure themselves properly. They just see that other reviewers say to go up 2-3 sizes, which isn't applicable to every person due to each individual's perceived size, actual body type, what size chart they're using to measure their size, etc., etc. So, because the buyer didn't take the time to measure their waist, they received a skirt that didn't match up with their actual size. Others may just be commenting that it's shocking to find that an Asian M is the equivalent of an American XL. Now, some may mean that the skirt runs small only in terms of length. Each skirt is 15.5 inches long, regardless of waist size. For bigger women, this could prove to be an issue as wider hips can make the skirt flare out. Thus, the skirt doesn't cover as much skin than if it was worn by a thinner woman with smaller hips. The skirt would lay more straight on the thinner woman, and thus appear longer. But overall, this is a decent skirt. It's hard to find a pleated, plaid skirt on Amazon that isn't super revealing. It works for everyday wear.EDIT: I updated this on 10/10/16 to include more helpful info, as well as to point out that the sizing issue has been fixed.

It came WET! The skirt was damp, how gross.

Holy crap, for a "cosplay skirt" This thing is built incredibly well!! I bought this just for everyday use. I am 5ft tall ~105 pounds and I bought the size small. My jean size varies but I can reliably fit in a 25". The waist of the skirt hits a little over an inch above my belly button and doesn't feel like it's squeezing too hard. The skirt is short without being immodest for me, a couple inches below the bottom of my bottom.The is no stretch in the waist. I wish there was because it would be nice to have a big meal sometimes while looking cute!!I have not washed the skirt yet. It seems to be a polyester material that shows stains easily. It also hold wrinkles, easily, and is still creased from the way it was folded when I first received it. Hopefully I will update my review after the first wash and iron.

I have this brand skirt in solid colors with a slightly different style having a yoke above the pleats. I ordered this skirt in the same size and it is perfect sizing just like the other style. The waist measurement is exactly as listed, the pleats are sell defined and keep their shape extremely well. This skirt is 16" long which is one inch longer than the yoke style which actually makes it a perfect length. Unlike the yoke style, this style puffs out just enough that the extra inch of material keeps it from being too short or indecent. The material is excellent, not too heavy which is great for spring and summer but still thick enough to not be see through. The price is very reasonable and the color selection is to die for. I already ordered the green!

I decided to take the advice of another customer and buy a size larger - in this case, I have waist measurements around 26-28 and hip measurements around 28-30. For reference I am 5”2 and around 115 lbs. because I wanted to wear the skirt at the waist, I bought a size Large and it fit perfectly at the waist. And I know that if I want to wear this skirt at the hips, I can buy an XL. The colors were way more vibrant than expected and the material quality was soft enough to wear regularly. However some of the colors (my case, Light Blue) were a little too obnoxious to wear outside of cosplay, so next time I’ll just buy a different color!

Great skirt! I'm using it for a Harry Potter cosplay/costume, and it's perfect. It seems to be high quality - you can't see through the material and it's not super thin. They texted me to verify the waist size, which I appreciate. It did have a crease in it from being folded to fit into the shipping pouch, but that's to be expected. They also included a pair of black knee-high socks for free, which was great because the ones I ordered separately didn't end up working out! I'd definitely order from these guys again if I need another skirt.

Alright so. I got this skirt because my friend made a picrew of me in a plaid pleated skirt and i was like... yeah lemme do that... It is kind of expensive for the quality (as it is kind of thin and stiff, but i haven’t washed it yet and i am a cheapskate) so i would say that if you’re planning on using this for a costume or a cosplay— perfect. If you want it for every day wear, only get it if you reaaally love one of the colors. I’m kind of built like a box (hips and waist are only an inch or two different) and it fit me as expected. I got a medium and my height and weight are listed somewhere. Ladies, it does indeed cover up the muffin top, god bless. But muffin tops are cute regardless. U r a model and I love you. (It also arrived in a very, very timely fashion. like i didn’t even have time to do my little “ahh should i have ever bought that” because boom! on my doorstep)

No paperwork/ return slip in parcel, fabric is not heavier weight as stated - I think the exact same skirts are also on Amazon for about £4 - but cute style in wide choice of colours.

Very good quality, very fashionable! Works very well with thigh high socks or boots!

Excelente presentación y calidad, me pareció que le quedó mas chica de lo esperado, pero cumplirá la función.

Looks slightly different then picture. Wife thought it was ok.

Great quality! Great Price!
