I decided to make my first Bodyline purchase after receiving my Spreepicky Seifuku, which is okay but I don't feel comfortable wearing the skirt out ( just a bit too short for me) :( . I have been watching Bodyline's shop for years and always worried about ordering from them. But it was very simple! I watched
allison1derlnd's review of her bodyline seifuku and knew I had to get one!
kaikoshuminokokoro's review was also very helpful!
I purchased costume 410.
I purchased the seifuku on April 9th and it arrived on May 5th. It arrived in a grey mail bag and was packed in plastic. It came on a hanger and was clean and nice. the only thing is it is a bit wrinkled and needs to be ironed but that's okay.

The fabric is very nice! the skirt is not see-through like Spreepicky's and the top has a zipper in the front which is a great feature. The color is true to the picture provided on the website. The tie is really nice. It's well constructed and has an adjustable strap.

I ordered a size 5L because I wanted to make sure the skirt would fit me properly. I have a big butt and I wanted to make sure my butt wouldn't hang out of it( for reference my hips are 40 inches). I knew the top would be a little large on me but I figured I could always take it in. I was stuck between picking the 4L, 5L, or 6L but the 4L was out of stock in the purple. I think I would buy others in a size 4L or a 5L in the future. I am a large in American sizes.

The stitches are very easy to remove and it will not damage the skirt if you take your time.
 |
| You will need a seam ripper |

| Place the seam ripper between the stitch and the skirt fabric and pull upwards to cut |

When looking at other reviews of this seifuku people have said the top is short and when you lift your arms it shows your stomach. I didn't really have this problem. My skirt is on my waist and the top is big enough to fall over the skirt nicely. When I raise my arms the top does go up a bit but not enough to expose a lot of skin. I plan to wear a cami under the top anyway and shorts under my skirt. I think I don't have a big problem with the top length because my torso is short.

Review Overview:
This seifuku is great for normal wear and for cosplay. It is best to check your size and go a size up just to be safe ( it's easier to take in an outfit). The quality is great. I have read a few horror stories about Bodyline but it went great for me and I would definitely buy from them again! The skirt and top are made of good fabric and NOT see-through. The color is also beautiful! The costume is sturdy and well made! I would recommend buying this!
Shipping: 5/5 (Got here faster than expected)
Quality: 5/5
Design: 5/5
Fit: 4.5/5 (top is a little big on me but it's okay)
I hope this review Helped!
Happy Shopping

You look so cute~! :D This is a very helpful review, thank you! ^_^ I'm looking into ordering a few Seifukus from Bodyline (mainly for the pastel pleated skirts, heh), and I totally have the same problem as far as the rear goes. XD;; I hate it when a skirt looks amazing from the front, and then I turn to the side and am like, "...*cries* " Anyway. :) Thank you for your helpful review! :D
