My granddaughter was thrilled with the poodle dress. I like the fact that it is one piece to look like the traditional skirt & blouse. This one has has a 1.5 black belt that Velcros in the back.  The dress came wrinkled as one should expect but hanging it up for a while should pull the few wrinkles out of the dress. The can-can slip will require some steam to get the wrinkles out of it. The can-can is mad of traditional mesh which is stiff & it hangs below the skirt as shown in the picture. The dress is made of a silky top & medium weight felt skirt.  My granddaughter loved the glasses & had to wear them immediately out to eat.  There was a package of felt letters each about 1 tall to be used to be attached to the dress dip as an initial. Cute. Size wise.. my granddaughter usually wears a size 7-8 in girls clothing. I bought the large & it fit fine. ....hit just at or below the knees. However, my granddaughter is very slinder  A heavier child might have to go up a size but the size descriptions were pretty close to norm.
