After receiving this Doll skeleton Citlali cosplay costume, I finally rushed to try it on over the weekend to share my specific Cosplay fitting experience with fellow fans.
First, regarding my basic stats: I am 165 cm tall, weight around 50 kg, and purchased size M this time. What's shown in the photos is the effect without wearing pumpkin shorts; you can see the skirt inherently possesses a certain fluffiness, creating a naturally cute volume without needing an extra petticoat underneath.
My first impression upon unboxing was that there were so many accessories—basically filling an entire box. However, to be honest, many hardware accessories attached by the manufacturer were glued on with hot melt glue, so after the bumps of logistics transport, several pieces had fallen off upon delivery. Out of options, I had to grab a hot melt glue gun to re-glue them myself, which counted as a hidden manual labor session. The configuration is really extensive; I spent nearly an hour analyzing the outfit by myself just to identify all component placements. Because putting it on alone was so troublesome—unable to reach behind for clasps and tie ropes—I ultimately had to call my mom over to help, taking quite a while before getting fully dressed.
Regarding fabric and craftsmanship, the entire garment's material features a fine shimmer, reflecting a lovely luster under light. The key aspect I valued when buying this Doll skeleton set was the inner dress craftsmanship. Instead of printing patterns directly like other brands, its inner layer stacks multiple fabric layers together. This authentic fabric layering endows it with rich texture rather than a flimsy, lightweight feel, giving it substantial weight in hand and high quality.
Now onto the drawbacks and complaints. First is the gloves section—the craftsmanship on both sides is somewhat asymmetrical. Particularly on one side, the thumb area is made too narrow, causing my finger to get stuck and feel cramped when inserting it. I estimate I'll need to seam-rip that section slightly later, as the tight squeezing feels uncomfortable. Secondly, while this Genshin Impact outfit design originates as pajamas, both official artwork and physical production feature numerous metallic-textured accessories. Wearing it directly against skin causes some metal pieces to scratch slightly; although within a tolerable range, it does affect wearing comfort to an extent.
Overall, my evaluation of this Doll skeleton Citlali cosplay set remains quite high, with good overall character accuracy, where outfit details and material choices deliver cost-performance exceeding expectations in this Cosplay costume review. Aside from a few small flaws needing DIY fixes and adjustments, when paired with a suitable wig and footwear, the photo output is bound to turn out fantastic.
