Fashion Witch Ensemble Review: How it dyes, fits etc.

Pondering if you shall buy the new costume? At a whooping 1,600 crown cost it's not a light purchase for some, especially with how the quality check can leave much to be desired. Which is what this thread is for! I checked, so you don't have to chance.
How does it dye:
Good!
Colours appears true to themselves, matte dyes stay matte, glossy ones still appear glossy, though maybe a tiny bit less shiny.
The only undyeable parts are the small buttons and metal buckles which are in a subtle iron/silver colour.
Example and reference screenshot:
How does it fit:
Decent. Whenever chest pieces start poke down over the lower half there's a chance the dreaded tutu effect will appear, but on this costume there's no such thing or it's minimal. Could only see a noticeable effect on my fat male character test, but it doesn't stick out weirdly, just the vest not being flattering with his belly.
It's not all good, though. There's a little slimming on the arms and on male characters the sleeves and the waistcoat looks a bit too short with the waist at an odd place, making it look ill-fitting. This is more noticeable on some bodies more than others. There might also be a tiny bit of slimming on the legs or at least give the appearance of such. So I think the costume looks better on female characters, which is a pity. It often feels like costumes for male characters suffer.
Four of my fit tests with characters of varying body types.
Other things to know:
The hat does not make you bald, not exactly. It covers the back of your head with a bonnet or something.
On the whole, it is a rather good costume which seems to have been properly quality checked for once, but with some odd fit, especially on male characters.

✭✭The hat's strange, it's like it has another hat underneath it (Sadrith Mora Quilted Snood, look below), but other than that I like it.
