The dress is pretty but that where it ends. The sleeves are very narrow. in fact, i had to detach them in order for my daughter to wear this dress, since it was a last minute purchase and we didn't have time to search for something else. my daughter was still pleased with the dress, being that a fluffy white dress with a hoop skirt (flexible insert) is every girls dream. After one day of heavy wear, the entire skirt bottom was detached and shredded to pieces. I tried pinning up the falling parts early on in the day, and even hastily sewing some gaping seams, but eventually it was dragging so much that i gave a big tug and ripped of the bottom so she could walk normally. at the end of the day we threw the dress in the garbage.
