Just get one off of Temu

Ordered this baby ghost tunic for my little one's first halloween, figured £21.99 was expensive to start with, but went ahead and ordered it anyway since it was so last minute, figured the quality of the item would be nice and thick, necessary for a cold halloween evening and an unavoidably messy baby / toddler, spent a fortune on delivery for it to arrive the next day. The material is so flimsy, there was a rip just by the velcro attachment at the back, my child is only 10 months old but it fits her well despite the rip, that just shows how flimsy this is. It's the thinnest piece of material I've ever felt with a bit of elastic at the bottom to prevent it riding up. Sure, my child looks cute in it, but for the price, either go on Temu, save yourself the delivery fee and get something on Amazon or just save your money for something far more elaborate than this. Disappointed.

Will definitely purchase from them again!

Simply fancy dress: I bought 2 outfits from them and one was inflatable but had a small hole in (this was clearly a manufacturing issue not a problem from them) and I was taking it away with me on holiday in a few days so I emailed and they sent out a replacement for me within 2 HOURS of me sending the email and I had the replaced one within 24 hours. They then followed up with emails to check everything was okay and that I had received the replacement. Honestly couldn't be more grateful! ALSO I won best fancy dress in the costume mentioned above so clearly everyone else loved it too. Strangers were coming over to me to tell me how great the outfit is so overall amazing experience and fantastic customer service!

Over priced!

My order (a skirt and a wig) arrived quickly and well packaged but I had to pay £3.99 for delivery. A response to a previous review I read says 'uk delivery is free'?

The quality of the £14.50 skirt was very disappointing. I contacted customer services through the website to request a refund but never heard anything back. Not very good customer service.

An effortless purchase.

This may sound corny but they are called Simply fancy dress for a good reason. The whole process was just easy from start to finish. Finding, purchasing and receiving the product was simple and it even arrived earlier than expected. My little one was delighted with her costume.

Hi Shellagh,

We understand you are based in the sunny suberbs of Queensland, Australia. Here at Simply Fancy Dress we are based in the much colder climbs of the UK, and offer cheap fancy dress with FREE delivery within the UK only.

The country selected on your order was 'United Kingdom' and confirmed throughout the checkout process. For this reason, your order was accepted and completed. Had 'Australia' been chosen the order would not have been able to complete to payment stage.

The order has since been refunded in full and I understand that our customer services representative has responded to your e-mail.

We are constantly reviewing our delivery services and hope to offer our fancy dress wears worldwide in the future. However, we probably won't be able to offer FREE delivery to Australia ;)

Thank you for your review, Sandra. It's great to hear that you were impressed by the delivery and finished look.

Here at Simply Fancy Dress our customer services department are always here to help and we like to encourage our customers to contact us should there be a problem. Please accept our apologies for the cracked shield which we would have been more than happy to replace or refund had we been made aware.

We hope to see you again soon at Simply Fancy Dress.
