Depends who you deal with. I'm finding that a lot of them try to bypass it by cramming everything into a super tight small box and marking "product samples" on it. At least, I think that's why they're doing that.

As far as one-size-fits all, it's same experience as store bought costumes in bags - with some taller girls, the dresses can be high and show the bottoms of their asses, but that's arguably the point anyway, and with others they get more coverage, and they seem happy about that. The materials vary, but tend to be somewhat stretchy, so the form-fitting is generally pretty good no matter which of our models is wearing them. I haven't put one on a plus-sized model, only because we don't have one right now
