This dress is amazingly adorable!! My 4 year old daughter is incredibly tall (46 inches) and incredibly skinny (39lbs) for her age.  This dress in a size 4t-6x fits her perfectly. It is an inch or 2 above the ground, which I love, because it does not drag the ground and still looks absolutely perfect. The hat, as it has been said before, is very shallow and does not stay on the head great, but the tie underneath still allows it to stay very nearly in place. My only problem with this costume is going to be keeping my daughter out of it until Halloween lol. FYI I bought some white satin elbow length gloves to go with it, and it looks perfectly darling and she could not be more in love with it :)
