I bought this Dorothy costume in size small for my three year old for Halloween. Everything was perfect about this -- we were thrilled when we pulled it from the package. The white shirt part of the costume on top is a satin-type material with a nice sheen to it. The seams are well finished -- I did have to cut some loose extra thread from near the neck but it didn't affect the costume. The hair bows are great and the white tie pieces are very long so I cut them short once we knew what length we were going to need. The costume hit right at her knees and I had her wearing a white slip underneath to provide some extra warmth (the satin-material didn't seem to provide much for warmth and in Minnesota, that's key!) and it hung down a bit from where the dress ended and I was ok with that. I think that's a good remedy if you think the dress is too short. The tie in the back can be adjusted and it was nice to be able to cinch it tighter on my little one. I was able to create a lovely bow with the tie and we received a lot of comments on the outfit. It was definitely a fancy-girl's Dorothy outfit.
I saw a review that mentioned the small sparkles being left all over the house. We did experience that but it wasn't as if there was glitter left everywhere. We had some of the dots come loose after tying the back of the costume because the fabric was rubbed together and some dots fell off. It didn't affect the quality of the costume and it wasn't noticeable on the garment that any dots were missing.
I felt like this was a great value and I would purchase this one again.
