I purchased this outfit for my daughter's first birthday and it was a big hit! I read reviews that mudpie clothing runs small but this was not the case with this outfit. My daughter is 30 in. tall and 23 lbs and the 12-18 mo size fit her just fine. The top is pretty roomy but the shorts are more of a snug fit which is good so they stay up . The outfit came on a nice hanger and was packaged well. I washed the outfit in my washer on the hand wash cycle and air dried. It came out looking exactly the same as before and was easy to press. After a day of eating cake and running around it still looked crisp and new. I purchased the pouf headband to go with it, which definitely made the outfit. I highly recommend this item for your little princess!
