Luke Skywalker Child Costume

In my experience of costume purchasing, you are never going to get a high quality item. They charge a lot of money because they can, and more often than not, you get an item that could be made better. I purchased the Jango Fett costume for my daughter last year, it was $70, and not even close to being worth it. But what can you do, other than taking up a sewing class to learn to do it yourself. No time for that.
The other problem I have had with the costumes is their sizing methods. Never work. I wonder what method they have for coming up with their sizes. I always have to alter them.
This Luke costume is what I have come to expect, thin cheap fabric, terrible stitching, thrown together look. The most disappointing feature is that the top does not open. I thought it would go on jacket style, but it is a pullover. It is also more brown than the photo shows, not white or light tan. The belt is very flimsy, and I will have to do some stitching to fix some errors to fix the entire costume.
But you know what is most important? That my kids love it. And they do. So despite my pickiness, my feelings about the quality and work I will have to do to make it right, my son lit up when he saw it and can’t wait to wear it. He will join his sister, who is Princess Leia this year, and they will be smiling from ear to ear. That is what matters.
