I like the fit of the dress and way it drapes across the floor. The sleeves are open and I found this real comfortable. The only thing I didn't like about this costume is, I couldn't get the hat to stay on comfortably. The size of the hat is small and needed to be pinned on. Even with help from my daughter, we couldn't get it to stay on my head. Next year I'll simply buy a hat and embellish it with the decorations from the hat that comes with the costume.
