Great dress.  Got it for my niece as a birthday present.  It did shrink a little in the wash.  I'd say don't wash it, but that's kind of hared when you're giving it to a 4 year old to wear haha.  The gloves were a nice touch- they seem to be great quality and fit well.  And they make her feel 'especially fancy' haha.  The crown could be better- it certainly doesn't stay in and is super flimsy and plasticy.  Given the high quality of the dress and the gloves, I expected the crown to be better, but over all I can't complain.
