To whom it may concern:

I am deeply disappointed in my purchase of your "adult sized" longsleeve bodysuit (http://www.peter-alan.com/catalog.php?item=1700&catid=Bodywear). I recently purchased this item in black in a size Large for $15 at Halloween Adventure in Manhattan, though somewhat reluctantly after not being allowed to try it on or even view an out-of-package model. I chose your product because it was the only costume bodysuit I could find with a solid, non-snapping crotch, but when I returned home to try on the bodysuit I found that it was made so poorly that I could not even get it on! The overall size seemed sufficient (though certainly not a women's 12-14 as it claims on the package). But as I tried to step into the bodysuit the legholes were so small that they cut off circulation, and I could not get my hips through the neckhole (the only possible means of getting it on because of no zipper or other fastening enclosure). I am a size 6 with skinny legs!! According to your sizing chart I should fit into a Small, two sizes below what I purchased and could not even get onto my body. I expected the product to run small, but never did I expect it to be completely unwearable and a waste of $15. The Halloween Adventure store does not allow returns or exchanges of any kind, so I am now stuck with an unusable piece of fabric and still must spend additional money on a replacement. In the future please take your sizing and shaping practices into consideration, as I know I will be taking this experience (negatively) into consideration before even thinking about purchasing any of your products or allowing any of my friends to do so.

Disappointed,
Megan K

What ever happened to...customer service?

Headline brought to you by She By Sheree.

Made the dreaded trip to the Halloween Adventure store (11th and Broadway) today to pick up the last piece for my Halloween costume, a black bodysuit. The store was out of control packed with peepz, but that was to be expected. What endued between an employee and I, however, was not pretty:

Me: (holds up the one bodysuit that was out of the package to gauge the size)
Employee: (swoops in out of nowhere) "You can't open that!"
Me: "This one was already open."
Employee: "Doesn't matter, give it to me."
Me: "But I was just..."
Employee: (grabs the bodysuit from my hand) "Can't do that."
Me: "I can't look at at bodysuit for 2 seconds that was laying here ALREADY OPEN to see the size?"
Employee: "No." (storms off with bodysuit)

Um, it wasn't like I was trying on the bodysuit in the middle of the store or rubbing lady juices all over the crotch. Heaven forbid my fingers touch the shoulder of their cheap merchandise. I would have left right then and there, but of course Halloween Adventure is the only Halloween store in the city that carries adult-sized bodysuits without snaps on the crotch (trust me, I've checked). Happy Halloween, ASSHOLES!
