My daughter knew she wanted this costume for Halloween the moment she laid eyes on it.  And . . . she knew she didn't want to keep it as soon as it arrived.  The gold ribbons that lace up the back were already coming undone from the costume before she even put it on.  The ribbon is just too delicate and ripped apart from the costume.  Also, the skirt was impractically short for any age, but especially for a teenager.  Unfortunately, this one is going back.
