I bought this dress to add to a costume collection I keep at my house for my little nieces. It was a huge hit and is definitely the girls' favorite item. This dress is beautiful & the quality is excellent. I'm sure it will hold up to many more dress-up playtimes in the future.So to begin the dress did not arrive the way it is pictured, we were using it as a zombie bride dress so I destroyed it, but with that said it showed up looking more amazing than I was expecting it to look for the price. You could really use this dress for a little flower girl in a wedding and not have to spend the big bucks at a bridal salon. I will say it did not go all thw way to the ground so if that's what you're expecting this is not the dress for you. Everything about this dress surpassed my expectations and it was beyond beautiful!!Sleeves were a bit too longGorgeous dress, tons of compliments. The bow fell off upon one time use though!Zipper broke immediatelyLove itToo small!! I ordered size 8-9 years for a 6 year old girl, and it did not fit her.It's a beautiful gown (bought a hoop skirt for underneath) that fit perfectly and was worn beautifully by my daughter.
