I purchased this dress in an XS for my 9 year old daughter, who is very tall for her age. IT fits very well. She stands about 59 inches. I was caught between a rock and a hard place because I wanted to buy her "girly" dresses so i was stuck in the little girls dresses (size 14 and 16) because they were very girly, however they were just too short for her. So I decided to take a chance on am extra small dress. I love this style for her and this seller because some of the styles are still girly enough for my daughter and they fit her nicely. I will definitely be purchasing more of these for her
