I ordered this dress in two sizes to see which fit my daughter best.  She wears a size 6 in clothes and I ordered the size 5 based on reviews that said the dress runs big, and I also ordered the size 6 so I could compare.  Good thing I did because the size 5 was more like a size 4 and BARELY zipped.  Now, my daughter can easily still wear size 5 clothing; the size 5 dress I received was cut very small and also the top gold sequin part was sewed poorly so it was baggy and the seam was not straight.  However, the size 6 was sewn well and lay flat on the bodice portion as it should.  It fit like a regular size 6 except that it is cut on the wide side so it does fit a little loose on my daughter, but not so much that it falls off her shoulder or looks like a sack.

I almost didn't order this dress at all because some reviews said it left glitter everywhere and that's one thing I despise, but I loved the style and was willing to give it a try.  There's no glitter on this dress!  There are gold sparkly sequins on the bodice, but no glitter that flakes off anywhere.  The skirt is two thin layers of tulle and the liner is on the thin side, but manageable.  I think I will feel more comfortable with her wearing board shorts or a slip underneath so it's not see-through in the sunlight.

Most importantly, it's very pretty! The color is a peachy soft pink, the gold glitter isn't cheesy looking.  We may use it for her unicorn themed birthday party.
