Forum Novelties Adult Bumble Bee Costume

This costume is absolutely adorable and much, much better quality than I expected for the price. I looked at some similar costumes in a local Halloween shop just days earlier and they were not even half as nice as this one. The fabric is a little stiff which is a good thing to help the bee body keep its shape, but it's actually a soft felt like fabric and does not feel cheap. The wings don't stand up much on their own but that is not a problem at all, it still looks very cute. After reading some other reviews, I was a little concerned about the antennae not standing up on their own but they really do, and they have a wire inside so they're bendable and seem like they'll hold shape VERY well even though they don't stick straight up in the air, it actually looks better that way to me. I ordered the Standard size and I'm glad I did because I really feel this costume runs large. I would not have been happy with anything larger. I am not a small person, at 5'8" and size 10 pant, M/L women's top, but I think even in the past when I wore a plus size top this Standard costume would have fit me just fine. At my height though I'll definitely be wearing some black skinnies or at least thick opaque leggings with it. I picked up a cheap black turtleneck at a thrift store and the overall effect is awesome. I have a somewhat large head & very thick hair, and the cap with antennae fits super well, but the fabric seems like it would fit well on anyone (smaller head, big hair, whatever). I highly recommend this costume for male or female wanting to dress up like a bumblebee. It would be WAY too big for a child though.
