[eBay] Sailor outfit? Costume? Sailor thing!

Hoo'~ It seems that I've stopped posting for a while but that doesn't mean I stopped shopping! Ehehe~!

Has anyone seen this adorable outfit floating around selling sites? Sites like eBay, Amazon, Storenvy or any costumes sites sell this cute little sailor outfit/costume.

Welp I've been wanting to do a review on this item. So I put it in time to find this for as cheap as possible (which really wasn't all that cheap but it was the cheapest I could find) and bought it.

I strongly advise people to not buy it if you're not using it solely for costume use. As cute as it is, it's not worth the money. Fortunately I didn't spend much on it but y'know...! But we live and learn!

It's a lot more costume-y than the picture depicts. I'm not sure what it is (probably the lighting) but the fabric looks a lot nicer in the stock photo than it is!

The hat it comes with. Oh gods!

I bought this about a month ago and haven't worn it since I tried it on for a whole 5 seconds prior to this post. The fabric is cheap and the hat is TINY (or my head is massive). The hat may look better if you just clip it on instead of stretching it over your head.

Maybe I got unlucky and this seller sells super cheaply made ones or maybe I dodged a $40 bullet. I've seen costume shops sell this for, at most, $49.

The "poof " they show in the photo is not so poofy in real life. I put on another petticoat to pump up the poof.

That's better...!! It's good for costume wear only, but to trot around in this to be a cutie-patootie? Nah, I don't recommend it. You can find other sailor dresses that may cost more, but are better made.

I can't tell you how it washes because I've never worn it enough to warrant a wash. However..judging by the fabric I don't expect any miracles. It should be washed under the "delicates" setting or handwashed to avoid any fade.
