Buy but make modifications
Within 20 minutes of wearing this dress my daughter tore the seam of the top layer. The edge of the top layer has a serged finish, but that may have added to it being able to be torn off the dress. I'm guessing my daughter stepped on the dress or something as the length is right above her foot. So I took it to JoAnn's since we needed it for a trip to Disney in 4 days and they recommended gluing ribbon over the edge of the dress. That worked like a charm. My daughter wore the dress for 2 whole days at Disney world (walking, riding in their strollers, one day was a 16 hour day...). I came home and washed it and then she wore it for her birthday. We've had no problems since I made the hem modification and it withstood being washed very well. So, buy the dress but add the "folded over glued ribbon hem" and you should be fine.
By the way, the company I bought the dress from sent a replacement dress when I sent an email to let them know about the problem. I just didn't...
A nice dress up costume
I have changed my views on this dress quite substantially. When we received it I thought it looked really trashy but it has held up really well and unlike the Disney ones - it does not have irritating seams. It actually is prettier than the disney ones because it is less glitzy.
My daughter wears it a lot and is in fact wearing it now. We have had it for a year and it is still going strong. I would definitely buy this again.
(This is in comparison to her Disney Deluxe Ariel costume which smells of fish (glue) and has very irritating/itchy seams inside the costume.)
dress-up dress
This is a good quality dress, well made. Would buy from this supplier again and quick shipping.
