5 out of 5 starsYep. No pleather here. Upon opening the package I was greeted by the lovely smell of real leather. It's very very soft though so be careful wearing it. I suspect it would snag/scuff easily. The large pouch is perfectly sized to fit even the largest cell phones + case, as a bonus. My Samsung Note phone fit perfectly. Will be purchasing from this seller again?

5 out of 5 starsWhen they didn’t have enough measurements, they made sure to reach out and also ensured this made it to me by my requested deadline. They custom fit it to my body so it fit perfectly . The quality is immediately apparent- this is no generic design. You will stand out in your dedication to authenticity if you go with the real leather and details from this shop.

5 out of 5 starsThis is the real deal-- genuine leather suede and fully lined. It is very sturdy and a quality build. The 3/4" buttons are attached with inner button "keepers" like on a military uniform and the pockets are actual working, lined pockets. Totally worth the price!

1 out of 5 starsI had high hopes for this dress, but unfortunately it didn’t deliver the look I was going for. The material feels nice and structured, but the neckline is too high and straight across, which completely flattens the chest instead of enhancing it. I was expecting a slightly lower, more flattering cut to create some shape and a bustier look, but it just ends up looking boxy. The overall fit is also quite loose and lacks any real contouring, which isn’t what you’d expect from a leather dress. It might work if you’re going for a more conservative, work-appropriate look, but it’s definitely not flattering or form-fitting and not ehat you expect from a leather dress. Extremely disappointed.

Dear Roshanak & All Future Customers, THIS CUSTOMER HAS BEEN BLACKMAILING ME and THREATNING ME FOR A BAD REVIEW EVEN BEFORE she received the order. The dress was delivered to her inside last 24 hours, and she dropped me a message that she would be leaving a BAD REVIEW REGARDLESS OF HOW THE DRESS LOOKS LIKE EVEN BEFORE THAT. I am a new ETSY SELLER, I am ABSOLUTELY DEVASTED because of this review despite doing everything I can. She asked me to alter the hem of the dress and make the length of costume 33 inches which I followed all to the dot. She asked for a bustier look, but I followed the measurements she gave me, WHAT CAN I DO IF THOSE MEASUREMENTS are not giving an Hourglass look,I AS A TAILOR CAN FOLLOW THE MEASUREMENTS YOU GIVE.SHE CLEARLY STATED to me that she will give a bad review regardless of HOW IT LOOKS.

Frequently asked questions
How long will it take to receive my order?
All our leather costumes and apparel are handcrafted to order. Production typically takes 2–10 business days depending on the complexity of the design. Once your order ships, you’ll receive a notification with tracking details. Delivery times may vary depending on your location.
Can I request customizations or alterations?
Absolutely! We specialize in custom leather garments. Whether it’s a jacket, vest, corset, or full costume, you can request size adjustments, color choices, or design modifications. Please reach out to us before placing your order so we can collaborate and create the perfect piece for you.
Are your products made with genuine leather?
Yes! All our costumes and apparel are crafted from 100% genuine leather. We ensure every piece is made with high-quality, durable leather for long-lasting style, comfort, and performance.
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
Since all our items are made to order and customized to your specifications, we do not offer returns or exchanges. However, if your item arrives with defects or sizing issues, please contact us immediately — we’ll do everything we can to make it right.
How do I select the correct size?
Each product listing includes a detailed size chart. If you’re unsure, please send us your measurements (chest, waist, hips, height, etc.), and we’ll help you choose the best fit to ensure comfort and the perfect look.
How should I care for my leather garment?
To keep your leather jacket, corset, or costume in excellent condition:
Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth regularly.
Use a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or moisture.
Proper care will preserve both the appearance and durability of your leather piece.
My leather item arrived with wrinkles—what should I do?
Wrinkles from shipping are normal and typically fade with time. To smooth them out:
Hang or lay the garment flat to relax naturally.
Use gentle steam (like from a hot shower) to loosen the leather.
For stubborn wrinkles, use low heat (hair dryer or iron through a cloth) and smooth by hand.
Finish with a leather conditioner to restore softness.
Avoid direct heat or soaking. For delicate items, professional leather care is recommended.
Will the hardware (zippers, buckles, hooks) be exactly as shown in the pictures?
We use high-quality hardware in all our leather products. However, some zippers, buckles, hooks, or clasps may vary slightly based on availability. These small variations do not affect the quality, functionality, or look of your garment.
