Leg AvenueWomen's Cozy Bat Costume

I love this hoodie. After spending nearly $200 on a costume for Halloween, I saw this advertised on Amazon and just had to have it. It is so decently priced, I returned my other costume and bought this one instead and I am so glad I did!! Saved me a bunch and is even more cute than my previous costume!I am 5'5.5" and 135 - 137 pounds; kind of a busty hour glass shape. This large hoodie fits me *perfectly*, just a little snug with a bit of space for wearing a sweater dress or something underneath. I could probably had bought a medium if I didn't want to layer under the hoodie. The length reaches just at a point that if I bend over it doesn't show my bum but I still will probably want to wear opaque leggings or short shorts under this just in case. My only wish would be to make the sleeves just a bit longer, but that is more personal preference because I have longer arms.The hoodie itself is better than the photo examples on Amazon. If you look up "leg avenue bat costume" on Google you will see that the hoodie's zipper actually goes all the way down and can open fully. It also is full fleece material, so it's insanely soft and warm. The hood is big, and looks great both up or down. The wings are super thick, not flimsy or cheap looking. Keep in mind this hoodie is very, very warm. It will be much too warm for anyone who gets hot easily, but perfect or someone who is worried about freezing outside on Halloween.This whole costume has a casual feel to it because of the cut and material, so this would be great for a casual Halloween party, for a teen who is trick or treating, or just someone who loves looking like a bat (judgement free zone here)!I posted this comment before Halloween so if someone is on the fence on buying this hoodie, i wanted to help that make the right choice. Go with this hoodie! It's awesome. I plan on posting reference photos post Halloween.

I am big. I wear mostly 3x, I was wondering if the 3x-4x size would be true to size. When zipped up, the gut area is a bit snug on me, but there is some stretch to the material. Now, the wings are felt like, but the zipped up area is more like sweatshirt material. Not a full fleece-like material. but rather fleece-felt. It should be warm for Halloween night where I live it gets colder. Last year it was mid 40's on Halloween night. But this costume does have some give to the material. The hood is roomy, and I'll probably wear a hat underneath in order to keep it from flopping too much. I've been looking at this costume for the past few years, glad I decided to get it. You do need pants or leggings for the bottom part.

Longer than I thought it would be based on the image... (how is it that short on her when the sleeves seem to reach all the way to her hands?)Also mine came with a raisin?? Like... a shriveled grape. It was a large raisin as it seemed to be half of one, but still the size of a typical sun-maid raisin. But it probably wasn’t a sun-maid raisin because it was reddish rather than black. And as I said, half of this one was the size of a whole sun-maid raisin. I didn’t taste test it or anything. I just threw it out and put the dress on.I was hoping it would be shorter on me but it goes pretty low. Being a guy, I was hoping it would be more of a hoodie than a dress hoodie. But whatever. The sleeves are almost too short but they’re not. I am 5’5” 125 lbs and ordered a medium. It is very warm, light weight, and soft. I think I look cute. I just don’t know what to wear with it for pants/footwear.

I read multiple reviews about sizing and decided to go with my regular size based on the reviews of similar body types to mine. I ordered a medium, and though it is snug, it fits just fine! For reference I am 5'9", about 150 to 155 lbs and my measurements are 35" bust 29" waist 37" hips. The arms were a smidge short, but I wore gloves so it didnt matter. I also wore it with leggings and a tank top underneath. It is fleece, so I stayed fairly warm! Putting up the hood also helps with warmth. Last thing that is absolutely not important, I wish there were small holes in the wings at the waist so you can hug your friends!! (Without trapping them in a cacoon ha)

I was hoping to be Luna the bat for my school's read across America kick off. Sadly, I am going to have to return the item because it runs small. Otherwise this item was one I would keep. The price was great ( just under 20 dollars) It was well sewn and I liked the fabric. It was thick and soft like a sweatshirt or polar fleece zip up. The zipper seems good but I could only zip it up when not wearing it because it was too small for my chest and belly. I liked the cute cut and style of the costume although it is very short so they recommend wearing hot pants underneath so your backside is not hanging out. ( As a teacher I planned to wear black fitted pants. ) If it had fit it would have been an easy to use and comfortable costume for a teacher on the go! I am teaching kindergarten and trust me you have to be able to move and see! The only other thing I would want is if it had pockets hidden in the design.
