My daughter, who is 3, has a trunk of princess dresses and absolutely LOVES to play dress up. The Easter Bunny brought this dress for her and I don't think she has taken it off since (its been about 3 weeks). It has held up nicely through washings and many hours of play. So far the seams haven't ripped and the hem has not fallen out (which has been the fate of many other princess dresses). This is a good buy.
