I picked this item up for a 2011 Christmas present for our petite 4 year old grand-daughter who loves to play dress-up. I was overly disappointed in the quality of craftsmanship of these items. As one reviewer stated make sure to use something underneath these outfits because you can see right through them (excellent advise: there mother was appreciative for this & so was I) which I also bought this leotard to go with the outfits: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000R43WMC/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_26
I wouldn't even advise someone to wash the clothing items for fear that they might fall apart since they seem like they will fall apart themselves after a months worth of continual use. With some care the clothing items lasted the G/daughter almost a year come to find out. Some of the plastic pieces are small so take caution if you have little ones that like to stick things in their mouths. G/daughter just grouped the plastic pieces of jewelry together & acted like she was storing them in a jewelry box on the floor then when it came time to go; grouped them together & put them away in the cheaply made cardboard trunk (arrived with dinged-up corners)  for the travel home. All & all the G/daughter loved everything about this trunk; but the trunk itself & the items inside made me feel cheap giving this to her as a Christmas gift.
