My 9 year old loved the dress portion of this costume. It was very comfortable, and she could put layers underneath to be warm on our chilly Halloween. The hat was quite small though, and could not be worn with the costume without lots of holding on. It is also a very sheer hat with no weight to it so, coupled with the small-ness, if any breeze blew the hat was off. A witch's hat makes the costume, so that was very disappointing.
