Although the dress has two styling features (multiple layer front and skirt) and well-made edges at the closure, it has a flimsy neck, waist and seams, flimsy thin elastics at the arms, a flimsy string tie closure and flimsy edges at the arms and hem.

Style 3526, Executioner, is a textile costume set that consists of a shirt and a mask, with the shirt imparting the essential character.

Style 1551, Sassy Snow Leopard, is a textile costume set that consists of a jumpsuit, a detachable tail and a headpiece, with the jumpsuit imparting the essential character.
