I was attracted to this costume because it is the traditional schoolgirl look, the white shirt and red plaid skirt. I have some pink and blue variations on the same style of costume but I've always liked these colors the best. I had been hoping the costume would come with pantyhose, but they rarely do so it was no big surprise when I opened the package and it wasn't there.
What I did get, I think, was worth the price.

The white shirt fits well and is made from a 50% nylon and 50% polyester blend. It doesn't feel scratchy or itchy though, even though it's not cotton. It has a little folded collar at the top and no buttons, just tie ends at the bottom of the shirt so it knots just under the bust. There is a lot of elastic at the bottom of the shirt, where the ties are but I find the sleeves don't seem to stretch all that much. I found the sleeves to be a little tight on me but not too uncomfortable. I got the small so if you're uncertain I'd get the medium because the rest of the costume is adjustable. Also, the shirt says to hand wash and tumble dry, but I put it in the washer and dryer on low and I don't have any problems, but I don't recommend this because I wouldn't want you to ruin your outfit. Also, it seems to wrinkle more in the washer.

The skirt part is velcro. I thought this was a little tacky when I pulled it out and saw it but I grew to love it. I also love the strong red color of this (don't wash with the shirt, could bleed red dye!) and the amazingly uniform pleats. I always have trouble sewing pleats so I'm really impressed with the craftsmanship of that part. The pleats are close enough together and have enough extra material that it does that little back and forth sway when you walk in it, making a very authentic looking costume. The skirt is very short so I definitely wouldn't wear this out of the house. The velcro also makes the skirt adjustable so it fits a variety of waist sizes. The skirt is also made out of 50% nylon and 50% polyester, although it's less soft than the shirt is. At least I think so.

We had a lot of fun with this costume. It was really easy for me to put on so it didn't take long to get started. And it was also easy for my boyfriend to take off. The knot in the shirt really needs to be double knotted so it's hard to pull the knot out but it's easier just to slip the whole shirt off over your head. The velcro in the skirt can in very handy, much easier to get off and sexier than other costumes. The skirt is actually pretty long so after my boyfriend ripped it off he used it to tie my hands together too.

This costume has wound up in my favorites pile. It has a good quality which has held up over time without much wear. It's also one of the easiest to put on and take off. It's also easy to jazz up this costume with stockings or other accessories. I've gone through a few different school girl costumes and this one is by far my favorite.
