This dress is almost perfect.  It's lightweight, soft, comfortable, and so cute.  The length is perfect, if it was any longer it might trip my daughter up when she goes from kneeling to standing. The elastic is a little bit tight, but since it hits right underneath that little toddler belly pooch that's a good thing, because it keeps her from having her skirt around her ears all the time.  It isn't tight enough to be uncomfortable or leave marks.

The only problem with this dress (and it wasn't a problem for us at all), is that it runs a little small.  My daughter just went through a growth spurt and is in between size 1T and 2T.  But this dress in a 2T fit perfectly.  So I would say it runs about a half size small.  I am actually going to order another one as soon as she outgrows this one, and I will probably order 1 size up so it will fit for longer.

It is made of rayon/polyester, so if your little one doesn't wear synthetics this is not the dress for you.  I don't mind that, because it is so lightweight it doesn't seem to trap her sweat next to her skin or anything.  And my daughter has eczema and sweat trapped on her skin would make it flare up, so I would definitely know.
