Very fast delivery to the other side of the world. sizing very generous, and not true to size chart. ordered a Large child, but needing a medium or small?? otherwise costumes are lovely, i would have given a 5 star review if the sizing was more accurate.

Ordered a chiffon wrap skirt in adult size (one size only) I am a size 10 and it is only just about okay, not really big enough. The item itself is perfect just sizing not generous enough!

Phone orders are easy , people are very helpful. Website orders are a nightmare, photos aren’t clear enough and colours aren’t clear. Very confusing -and I am still waiting for 3 refunds.

I order black footless tights in s/m for my size 8 daughter they are very small more petite than s/m. The leotard was a good fit however some of the stitching is not great, we are kept both items as needed for the next day but not sure how long the stitching will hold in places. Ordering and delivery was all very easy and the item was delivered on time.

Sizing wasn’t clear on ordering, we ordered normal shoe size as it didn’t state otherwise and they came up really small

I ordered two pairs for my daughters ballet performance. It was vital they were pink. But both pairs arrived and even though the box and ad say pink, the tights are definitely peach. Missold. We couldn’t use these for the performance and instead had to wear old ones. Otherwise the tights are good quality.

I ordered 9 of this skirts for a dance group, the quality of the skirts is good for the price. But DO NOT TRUST the measurement on the chart! it is kids size only so the bigest would be like a size 6 for adults!

Thank you for your review Alba. We are pleased you are happy with the quality of the skirts you have ordered it is a shame to hear you are not happy with the sizing, with the particular skirts you have ordered these are not made in normal leotard sizes and are in waist size. We hope you continue to shop with us in the future :)

I am very satisfied with the product (black leotard), but making sure I am buying the correct size was very stressful. Please add a page to the website with a size chart and make it easy to navigate to.

It was my first time ordering from here, and I was worried the leotards wouldn’t be great because of the affordable price. I was so impressed with my leotard and I love wearing it! It’s great quality and fits perfectly!

Delivery come quite quick. Therefore product is very small when base on quite size by age, I ordered ballet dress (side 0, age 5-6) for my 4 years old daughter, dress was far too small for my daughter. I have to return but stool paid for delivery charged.

The 2 pairs of shoes arrived on time, were well packed and good quality. However, although the child I was buying them for was size 7 in shoe and I bought size 8 - the ballet shoes were only JUST fitting (nearly sent them back) and as the tap shoes (I'd actually bought for Christmas) were also ordered in 8 I had to let her try them on, just in case they were too small - in fact they were quite large!! So now she has seen them I have to buy something else. If you put the sole's together of the tap and ballet shoes there are about a 1cm difference!!! buy another Christmas present

I ordered a pair of capezio showtapper tap shoes. I have bought this style before & love them but I found these to big particularly small. Both narrow & short so had to return them. However, I found their customer service excellent. They were very informative & helpful. Would definitely use again, especially as their return postage is free.
