The costume is exactly the same as the picture. It seems durable and well made. I am happy that it does not have sequins or glitter that can easily come off onto a child's body. My daughter is 2 and it fits perfectly and I see where it could fit a 5 year old too hence the manufacturers are correct about the size. The colors are vibrant and  the wings are the right size.  The wand is not very sturdy which is good for a toddler. The headpiece is an awesome finish to the costume.
