I just purchased this costume for my daughter's birthday. She's getting a makeover at the Bippity Boppity Boutique store and I didn't want to spend a fortune on the costumes there. I ordered this on Monday and received it yesterday, and found no tears or fraying or any problems with the costume. I tried it on my daughter and found that it was just a little large around the torso, but she's fairly slim so that's no surprise. So I just sewed it a little, took five minutes, problem solved. Lengthwise it fits perfect! The green outer shell is pretty, a little delicate so take care not to get it stuck on the velco straps. There's a separate skirt that goes under the costume which helps keep the bottom part from being too transparent. Halter strap feels a little flimsy so at some point I suspect I'll need to reinforce with more sewing but for now it should serve the one day trip to Disney. The crown headband doesn't hug too tightly around her ears, another plus. All in all, I'm satisfied with this bargain buy...and my daughter of course loves it!
