I love these dresses, so simple and so comfortable. I've bought my two granddaughters several, over the years, and have never been disappointed. The only reason I took off one star, this time, is that the picture shows a black striped dress, and the dress that arrived is solid black. No big deal, all 8 year olds need a little black dress (!), just saying that it didn't match the image. (And, yes, I went back and checked ... the stated color, over the striped dress, says "black.")
