My 2nd grader is having her first daddy daughter dance and she's pretty much super diva. I have 3 kids... she's the middle AND only girl... so, I needed this dress to be fricking awesome for 40$. It so far has exceeded my expectations! Not costume like at all. Sweet and modest neckline, and the ribbon for tieing the belt is perfect. Her petti coat will fit perfect underneath, and there is a hemmed layer made to hide it on the bottom of the dress. I'll post poll pics when she wears it.
