I bought this costume to put in my daughter's collection of dress up clothes.  When it arrived I was so excited because it was just plain adorable!  My daughter is two years old, and unlike other two year olds, is very particular.  She doesn't like to ruin toys, get her clothes dirty, etc.  I helped her both in and out of this costume just once, with supervised playtime in between being about 2 hours.  This playtime consisted of reading books and playing with dolls.  By the time I took it off of her, most of the seams were coming undone, and one of the straps had broken.  She was very upset.  I still gave it 3 stars (which to me is pretty generous considering how much wear we got out of it)  because I'm aware most people looking at this are probably looking for a costume for a one night event, and not for multiple uses.  In that case, it is VERY cute, but not very durable.
