This dress feels softer than I expected. And it looked great. My daughter normally wears 2T, but they only had 18-24 months size, so I got it, and it fit great. Its stretchy, so I think it will fit for a few months even. It's super cute and while there were some strings hanging of, I didn't have to do any big repairs. The smell was HORRIBLE when I took it out of the bag. Really bad. But I hung it outside for 2 days and it was just fine. Loved this for a cheap, cute, birthday dress!
