I bough an XLt this for my 12 year, who normally wears a size 12, and needed a costume for.a Renaissance Day at school.  I was not at all impressed with it.  The material was cheap costume material and the size seemed to run small, especially through the back.  She kept saying it was itchy as well.  The little cape is simple a square of material that is held together with velcro, and hung down to her bottom.  If she were 5 and enjoyed dressing up this would be a great little dress-up/Halloween costume but this is not a high quality costume by any means.
