4.5 ☆'s I PURCHASED the Elsa dress for my granddaughter for Christmas. Sizing is based on age -in years. I ordered 5/6 the measurements are: **5-6 Years: 24" chest circumference, 23" waist circumference, 15" sleeve, 34" from shoulder to the end of the skirt, the cape is 54" long The Dress. It fits with a little room to grow and still wear it. (Which is what I hoped for.) The dr ,.ess itself is strikingly beautiful. NO irritating, itchy lace or fabrics that make kids scratch and uncomfortable. The side zipper gives older kids the ability to take it on and off by themselves or with help from a friend. The glittery lace overlay is gorgeous, but very fragile. (Be careful. I've already had to sew it back at the waistline in two spots...she tugged a bit too hard fluffing the front and the lace pulled loose.) The neckline and sleeves are sheer with silvery, shiny, gems and sequins that really sparkle. (She wears a long or short sleeve white shirt under the dress when we go "out" in public. Which I would suggest for Halloween or any outside adventures.) The star in the center adds more bling to this frozen inspired dress. The train is super long, drags behind her beautifully and is by far her favorite part. (For smaller girls the train could be an issue. You can always clip the train up. We do when she wins the toss and gets to wear it out shopping.) The accessories. This set comes with a crown, wand, gloves and a single blonde braid. The gloves are silky-satiny soft to the touch with an elegant design on the back. (I say back - meaning the back side of the hand- up the arm.) These are pageant-like gloves, for show, not warmth. They are a lovely extra touch for the costume -especially since the "gloves" such an important part the movie. The wand is what you expect from a child's costume accessory. It's thin plastic, will break easily and with ours, some of the stones fell out. I glued them back and all is well. The crown is made with the same thin plastic, with blue stones. It arrives in 2 pieces that have to be snapped together. (You can see this in the pictures.) The problem with the crown it is rigid...not like a tiara that has give on the sides making it easy to place and comfortable. And there's no combs to "sit" the crown on the hair. My granddaughter's hair is thick, almost to the top of her shoulders. We slide the crown under some of her which keeps it from "squeezing" her head. This crown may work fine for younger, smaller girls. It took a few tries, but it works for us now and she's happy to show her friends "how to wear Elsa's crown." The braided hair is a fun accessory for kids. She loves to whip her head and show off "Elsa's hair." It's a pretty blonde color, braided tight and looks authentic. The issue I have is with the small clip used to hold the braid in place. It's a standard center push barrett. Here again for younger girls with thinner hair it probably works fine. For us, the weight of the braid was too much, since we could "grasp" enough hair to hold it in place. Our solution was to use a stronger, bigger barrett clasp her hair - then place the braid's barrett above it. This Frozen inspired set was a huge hit Christmas morning and two weeks later she's still wearing it, at some point, everyday. The dress is beautiful and is immediately recognized as "Elsa." The accessories are equal in design and quality to crown/wand accessory packs you buy at a dollar store. But the kids love them and are having a great time playing Princess (or in this case Queen) dress-up. Exactly why I bought it. I would buy it again and have no problem recommending it to others. If you have a lil girl that loves Elsa or just playing dress-up in general, this set will put a smile on her face. ☆I share my experience products as honestly and as thoroughly as possible.
