My daughter LOVES the movie "Brave" and likes to pretend to be Merida.  And, being 5, she likes to do it a lot. Santa "brought" her this dress.  The dress started pulling apart after the 2nd wearing and its gone downhill from there. I have attempted some of the minor repairs, but the fabric is flimsy.  I knew it wasn't going to be the most durable thing in her closet, but I had hoped it would last longer.
