   This is an overall pretty cute cosplay. I picked medium since my shoulder width matched up with medium while the rest of my measurements were much smaller. The jacket fit exactly as i wanted and the skirt was just a bit too big as expected, so i used some random other black skirt i had. The black undershirt fit fine, maybe a little tight, but that’s more linked to the make of the shirt than the sizing of it, so it was not a big deal in the end. The jacket is superb. It feels super soft and is really accurate, especially the zipper. By far the best part of the costume. The accessories (not shown in picture) are quite simple but good. The gender pin is made of thin foam cut and glued to the shape with a safety pin on the back, the growth plus signs on the elbows of the jacket are also attached with safety pins and are made of some sort of fabric similar to the undershirt. The skirt is about what you’d expect, a bit cheap but totally useable. The undershirt was a bit "costume-y” where the material felt textured and a little uncomfortable to wear. Its accurate and you get used to it after while so i don’t mind it that much. The gloves are easily the worst part of this costume. The gloves are just bridget’s default gloves meaning they are the wrong color and have a yellow stripe instead of an orange one. With some leather paint it’s probably quite easily fixable. However, the gloves are also a really bad quality overall. The ends are uneven and frayed and the sizing is screwed up as well. The pinky of each gloves feels too lose, but the thumb feels too tight, so i doubt a size change could fix anything. They do look like bridget gloves, but if you have a DIY alternative definitely go for it. The support was super helpful and answered all my questions. Since there wasn’t any reviews yet I had to go off the other color jacket’s reviews which made me a bit hesitant. However, support emailed quick responses so I felt more confident in my decision. The price is a bit hefty for the overall quality, however if you can get the jacket by itself for cheaper, definitely go for it, it is the highlight of this costume and the hardest part to acquire. I gave three stars for quality because most pieces can be recreated cheaper and higher quality, however if you can get the jacket by itself for cheaper it’d easily be 5 stars on price. I gave 5 stars for great support to ask about any questions, i haven’t done any returns so i can’t comment on that aspect. I gave quality 4 stars because the skirt, underskirt, and accessories were about what you would expect; but the jacket is 5 star quality especially for the price; but the gloves are 2 star quality; evening out the total score to around 4 stars. I gave true to size five stars because aside from the undershirt that is a bit annoying to put on, everything fit as i expected to based off of the measurements.
