Super cute costume to be worn over warmer clothes if you live somewhere cold at Halloween. It's not particularly high-quality flannel, but it's a Halloween costume that a kid will wear once and then outgrow, so I wasn't expecting anything fancy. It seemed comfortable and warm enough though, even for the chilly and wet Halloween we had this year. Like many other reviewers have noted, the hat was small--even for my daughter who is relatively small herself--but I found I didn't have to adapt it b/c it fit on the back of her head. I thought I'd have to modify it so it would stay on, but it ended up being just fine as long as she didn't touch it. It seems that the hat in the boy's gnome costume is a little bigger. The over-the-shoe booties are a nice option if your child doesn't have any shoes that can pass for gnome shoes, but they'll definitely be destroyed if your kid tromps around outside in them. My daughter and her little boyfriend got lots of compliments and laughs in their gnome costumes, so mission accomplished! I thought this product did the job I wanted it to do quite nicely.
