Costumes are not just for Halloween anymore and I think that is great!!  I bought this for my 3 yo granddaughter who likes to play dress up and she says she wants to be a "doccoer" when she grows up.  I didn't want to put a huge amount of money into a costume at Christmas time, so this was perfect for the price.  It doesn't have pockets, but I didn't want to pay the higher price for one with pockets.  So, she loved it and I loved it - great little dress up outfit for any little girl or boy who wants to be a "doccor" when they grow up.
