Unfortunately there are not as many options available in the larger sizing but I was happy to see that the Voluptuous Vampire was one of them. I normally wear a size 16 so I got the 1x/2x size and the costume fits me comfortably, though not without some complaints.

I found myself wishing that the top was just an inch or two longer as it tries to roll it self up due to the velvet material being semi-stiff and my "Mommy belly" which I still haven't lost. There is absolutely no breast support in this top, so don't expect anything impressive if you are hoping to wear this without a bra. If you have B-Cups and need the larger size for the rest of your body like me, the bust will appear baggy and somewhat odd looking.

I love the skirt, the skirt is my favorite piece of this outfit but the material is thin and I don't think it would stand up to wear & tear beyond it's intended use - as an occasional costume. The skirt is super stretchy, I'm sure it would fit beyond size 16 as it is almost too big around my waist. The cape is made out of a thin mesh and just covers the shoulders and upper back, as you can see in the photo. I can't really think of any complaints regarding the cape, other than the fact that I find the red collar which is typical in Vampire costumes to be tacky and so I didn't use it. (I used a fancy black scarf/shawl instead)

The included vampire teeth...lets just say the teeth are a joke. Remember the ones you had when you were a kid that cost around a dollar? A single piece of white plastic which you fold in half and bite down on. Memories of laughter and humorous toothy grins followed by slobber covered plastic teeth came rushing back as soon as I pulled these out of the package. I had several of these when I was a child and had lots of fun with them then, but doubt I will ever use them as an adult and wasn't even tempted to try. The teeth were given to my kids.

Overall I think the costume is well made and comfortable, higher quality than a typical costume but I still think the price tag is fairly hefty for something that doesn't feel like it will stand up to more than occasional use. I understand that most people buy costumes solely to use once a year, but I was hoping to wear this more often personally.

The Voluptuous Vampire costume is hand wash only and is made by Coquette. The material is a combination of 80% nylon and 20% spandex. I have another lingerie piece made by Coquette, and it is one of my favorite pieces in my drawer. This possibly left me with high expectations but considering the lingerie cost less than half of what this costume did -yet seems to be made from a stronger material- I wasn't all too impressed.

My Husband thinks it's sexy, and the costume does fit me without being itchy or irritating. I suppose in the end that is what matters the most.

I think if I had picked up this costume before becoming a reviewer, I may not have had quite as many complaints. Like I said, this costume blows away the ones I have seen in stores and as a regular customer I might have been fully satisfied -minus the teeth.

On visual appearance alone, I would give this costume 4 stars. On material quality, durability, and lack of breast support I would give it 2. I decided to rate it in between at 3 stars.
