After much searching I decided on this dress for my birthday princess. I opted for the larger size (M) and while it is a little too long for our tall 4 yr old, within a few months, it will be just fine. The body of the dress is soft and stretchy. My daughter loves the fact she can change into this without fasteners. No itchies or scratchies!
It is sparkly, and ultra-pretty. I did not purchase any extra netting or underskirts. This dress is plenty 'full' enough and does not need anything extra. She was thrilled. Have not washed it yet, but the workmanship looks good and I have high expectations. I am sure that my 2 yr old will get good use out of this in a few years too. Good value in my opinion.
