We have loved this costume this year.  She has worn it twice with one more event to go and it has stayed in great shape.  It seems to be comfortable to her with no complaints.  The only time we have an issue is when the velcro comes undone and sticks to her tights but that is an easy fix.  She refuses to wear the headband so I cut the pipe cleaners off the headbadn and put them on alligator clips for her pigtails.  We have received so many compliments and in addition to being cute it is easy to get on and off which is always nice when dealing with a wiggly toddler.
