Review:
 A 6th grade history presentation and costume party created a perfect opportunity to try a costume from Wholesale Halloween Costumes. K chose to be Samuel Adams for his big "history live" project performed in front of teachers, friends and family. The "Founding Father's" costume was an excellent choice!
The costume was a nice quality material that although it arrived a little on the wrinkly side, seemed to smooth out well after hanging on a hanger for a bit. K is currently wearing about a youth size 16, so I ordered an adult (one size fits all) costume thinking it may fit better than a child size. It was a little on the big side, but still looked sharp and appropriate for the occasion. We were very pleased with the timeliness of the arrival. We added a lace collar and boots to complete the look. It would have been fun if we had added a white wig as well. This costume would look great as many other colonial historical figures like Benjamen Franklin, George Washington, or any character with a patriotic theme.

Over all we loved this costume!

Review: Knight Costumes

Pros: Good service, nice quality costume, good value.

Cons:  The helmet seems to run slightly small compared with costume, but still works.

Review:
For school, my son K had to give a "history live" presentation in costume as "King Richard the Lionhearted".  After researching what King Richard wore, he chose the "Deluxe Dragon Slayer" knight Costume to do his presentation in. Truthfully, he wasn't really a knight...but he was a medieval warrior and this seemed like a great match for the part.

I am always amazed at how small they are able to package these costumes! It arrived in a small package, but came out looking great without any ironing or effort. The costume seems well made and includes everything pictured except for the black pants. K was impressed at the shiny silver fabric part of the costume that looks like chain mail.  The body of costume seems true to the sizing chart offered on the website.  The helmet however seemed a little snug although workable (your experience may be different due to variations in head sizes! :)

So if you would like to be a dragon slayer, or King Richard...I would recommend this as a great option! :)
