This is a cute, form-fitting (or designed to be) costume made of some delightfully soft fabric. The bodice is low-cut but not indecently so, and the back is open. Since I have long hair, I thought this would be great to keep me warm enough at Halloween time without my hair making me roast while indoors. The tail has a wire in it, so you can curve it into whatever shape you want, although that isn't as easy as it sounds. The legs come all the way down to your ankles/feet. Several people mention this "riding up," and I suppose I agree, but it's a little hard to decide because the whole thing (XS) was too big on me. I'm 5'0", about 100 lbs, and although this hugged all my curves and displayed me to advantage, the arms, legs, and torso had bunching in the fabric, and the velcro closure would have needed adjustments. That said, with some adjustments this costume could have worked, but as someone who historically sews costumes I feel like that would defeat the purpose of buying something ready-made. I'm not a huge fan of the collar. (1) What cougar wears a collar? (2) The heart is oversized (at least on me!), and the plastic detracts from the overall look of quality IMO. (3) It was too big for me, and can't they make a circular velcro closure at least a little adjustable? That said, a companion of mine is of the opinion that you do need some neck ornament. If I kept it, I'd have either swapped out the heart for something more elegant, skipped an ornament entirely and just worn the black stripe, or picked something else. Of course, I'd also have to add velcro so that the "choker" didn't hang awkwardly off my neck. If you've seen the Broadway show Cats (or a reproduction thereof), this suit is quite reminiscent of those costumes. Note: This is not counting the tail or accessories. I could easily do ballet or gymnastics in this. The fabric is flexible, stretchy, and SO SOFT. If you're of a more average size (as in, not tiny), this is probably a great choice. Do bear in mind that it really shows off your figure, so if you have curves (or bulges) that you don't want seen, a cat suit like this is likely not the best choice. This is probably also good bedroom-wear, especially with how delightful the fabric feels. I almost want to keep it just for comfy pajamas.
