I purchased this item initially on eBay, but returned it due to it ripping at all of the seams. I thought that they had sold me a second or irregular costume.
I purchased the item again from a reputable costume store. The very same thing happened. The costume materials are so cheap that the thread rips the material with any type of movement. Even just putting the costume on can create tears. The materials is just falling apart at all of the seams. Also, the costume runs very small. My daughter normally wears a size 6, but the M(8-10) just fits her.
Rubies has always made great costumes, but I must say that this one is the pits! It can only be worn one or two times ):
This was very disheartening to my 6YO Catwoman Fan! It made me sad as well to see her so disappointed. I wish that I would have never shown her the costume.

This was a great choice for Halloween. I bought a 10-12 based on other reviewer's comments about the sizing running small, and I really should have just bought a 7-8, which is what my daughter actually wears. We had to pin the costume in the back to get the sleek "cat woman" look, which was very important to her. The mask is probably the best component of the whole costume - it allows for very fun catwoman eye shadow for 9 year olds who don't normally get to wear make-up!

A previous review of this product made us aware of the fact that the seams would need to be replaced on this product (and they did, the material was very poorly attached). We were disappointed that the sizing ran to the small side, nearly 2 inches smaller than advertised. We measured our granddaughter and bought according to her measurments but the suit was very tight on the arms and legs. So, when my wife reinforced the seams, she did so after adding a strip to the arms and legs to make the costume big enough for our granddaughter to wear comfortably. So, be prepared to reinforce the seams and order a size larger than you think you are going to need.

Does anybody besides me think that having little girls wear what essentially looks like a dominatrix outfit is a really bad idea? Plus you KNOW the kids are not going to play safely with that whip.
