There's a little Canadian business called Heroes-In-Tights. They've a wonderful site and catalog of yummy looking products. I hadn't heard anything negative from and was impressed. So! I ordered a Gordon Batgirl suit from them.
Firstly I requested a color change from the advertised suit. The advertised suit had gold gloves and boot covers with a yellow cape lining and yellow bat-symbol. I requested that the gold be changed to yellow to match the cape and symbol. However, what I got was a gold bat symbol and everything else yellow. I used paypal to pay but noticed that the advertised price wasn't what I was being charged. They fixed that issue for me. I ordered my suit 12/03/11 and didn't receive it until 01/14/12. Between that time I wasn't informed of the status of my suit or its progress. I wasn't sent a tracking number or any information on when to expect the suit. I did get an email roughly three weeks after paying saying I didn't pay despite the payment being taken from my paypal. When I emailed inquiring about my suit, they gave me the run around.
Upon trying on the suit, I noticed that the material wasn't exactly opaque.The boot socks were useless. They were short and barely fit over my size 6 feet and also semi-transparent. The bottom seam of the cape wasn't sewn shut and the points weren't noticeable. There was also evidence of the printing process used to transfer the bat-symbol onto the chest.
I'm disappointed and felt bad for girlfriend who received this as a Christmas gift several weeks late. The quality is that of an overpriced Halloween costume. I'd return it but 25 dollars for shipping two ways and having to deal with "customer service" and possibly receiving another bad product isn't worth it to me. Buyer beware.
That was the review I attempted to leave...However, reviews have to be reviewed. So the chances of it being posted are slim. :/
If I didn't have experience in sewing I'd return it but because I think I can make it work, I'm going to fix it up, and save 50 bucks in S&H charges. :/
The cowl and wig are my own.
Batgirl is not amused.
