The sizing on this is insane. My child was wearing 12 mos. clothing when we used this for Halloween, and I bought the 2T size because previous reviewers noted that it ran small. This is totally the case. In some respects, the costume was too small. And in other respects, it was too big. The fabrics are not soft. Luckily, it was quite cold at Halloween, so we wore softer clothes under the costume. We kept it to play with, but if I ever need to wash it, my guess is it won't survive even a gentle cycle and line dry. The stitching is loose and inconsistent. Having said that, I wasn't expecting miracles for $20, and it is very cute.
