I was nervous because of quite a few reviews were saying it wasn't like the picture, but I thought it was pretty dang close! The coloring might be slightly off because of the lighting used in-studio for the photo they're choosing to advertise, but this costume was still wicked cute and by FAR the best baby/toddler lion costume out there. It fit my son, 12mos, perfectly. And kept him warm. The head piece was very easy to take on and off and comfortable enough that my child never tried to pull at it. The mane, in this image, is larger than what comes in the package, but I used a wide-toothed comb and had some success in getting it to stand up straighter. I wish I could upload a picture, because seeing a customer's baby IN this might sell more of them! ;)

My only critique is that the closures are a soft, light-weight Velcro, so if your baby can walk or even just moves a lot, the legs might "open" a bit. I'd rather it be snap closures because it makes for a better pictures, and less of a "breezy" experience for the baby, but it was quick access for diapers changes, so it really wasn't that big of deal.
