I bought this dress for my daughter's 6th grade graduation and it fit wonderfully. The dress was constructed well - better than some of the dresses that she tried on in famous department stores. The dresses (I ordered a different style from same seller) arrived in a matter of days - literally!!! She was too excited when I zip her into her dress - I knew from the look in her eyes that this was the one that she was going to wear. I did sew the straps onto her dress so that it didn't come off risque'. The problem with girls - tweens - is that they're tired of looking like little girls but don't want to look like older girls (there is a balance that you have to find) and this dress fit the mold. Coupled with some flat ballerina like shoes - she looked like a walking doll. I would recommend this dress most definitely.

PS I almost forgot to talk about the sizing of this dress - true to size. The zipper on this dress is sturdy not the delicate zipper. I wasn't afraid that this one would break. My daughter is tall for her age at 11 she weighs 105 pounds and is about 5 feet 2 inches. And I ordered a size 3 and was happy with the results.
