Haunted House Child's Native American Princess Costume, Large - 3.4 out of 5 stars from 24 customer reviewsWarning -- size small is tiny!
I just ordered this because my daughter needs an Indian costume for school on Monday, and it was the cheapest option with Amazon's prime shipping and I could get it in two days. It arrived today, and I took it out of the package and it was tiny! She is 5 years old, and I ordered size 4-6. The description here on Amazon says it will size small is for up to 44" tall, and she is 42" tall. However, the length is WAY too short to wear as a dress. However, she already has some dark brown pants that look good with it, so she will just wear it as a shirt. Also, the sash is very short. It does not hang down to the knee like in the picture. It probably just hangs down about two inches from where I tied it. We may just use it as a headband and stick a feather in it. I agree with the other reviewer that it's not sewn together very well (it looks like the stitches are very loose). Also one of the fringes that hangs down was sewn into the side seam, so I had to cut it out to make it hang...
Fun for dress up
My daughter loves this costume. She calls it her Kateri costume (as Blessed Kateri is Native American). She even makes me put her hair in two braids. It did not come with the staff, which I knew from the description, which was fine by me. She received this in the winter and I made her wear cotton tights or leggings with it. But it probably fit her close to the model in the picture and she is 54" tall. It is not extremely ornate, but it does the job well for dress-up.
Beyond cheap
This little thing was so flimsy--I had forgotten that store-bought costumes are practically disposable. Not recommended for anybody who is used to high-quality costumes, as it will surely disappoint. Still, it did the job, my kid had a costume in time thanks to Amazon Prime's quick shipping, so I'm giving it a couple of stars, anyway. It really did save my neck during a busy Halloween week in which I forgot to go costume shopping! :)
