I bought this costume for my great niece for her 4th birthday. She LOVED it! It was a large party, lot of gifts to still open but she wanted to put it on immediately. She was given a mermaid costume as well and did have that one on too but after swimming she put this one back on so I know it was the favorite of the two. The accessories, gloves, braid and crown were a big hit with the costume. The train was perfect and yes, it's delicate but it's expected. She felt like a little Princess and that is what it's all about. She beamed when she had it on! I'm looking for the next costume for Christmas for dress up! I want to see here smile that way again!
