Rubie'sgirls Forum Colonial Girl Costume Dress Child's Costume (pack of 1)

The costume was used for a play on the First Fleet arriving in Australia. It suited this time period really well, and the fit was fantastic, true to size with some stretchiness to it which was great.

Not cheap and see through. Long and good quality. Lawyer through holidays.

This fit my daughter perfectly and worked out great for her school concert. However, it is not made of a good quality material and snags fairly easily. It is the standard, cheaper material you'd find any run-of-the-mill children's Halloween costume made out of with Velcro enclosures used up the back side. Don't get me wrong though it did work out perfectly for what we needed it for. The head cap is absolutely adorable. We would have liked a little more "poof" out of the skirt portion though. It sits rather pencil-like on the child's body, straight up and down. She wants to wear it for Halloween this year with a puffy skirt underneath for lift.

"We" are working on my second grader's assigment to write a story about Priscilla Alden and come in dressed in character to present to the class. Instead of fumblimg through the close and coming up with assorted items we went right to Amazon.Com. MY daughter knows I am an Amazon Prime member and as a single mom of three it is the best small investment you can make that will give you endless benefits. Within a short time we found an inexpensive costume. It arrived in two days, as a Prime Member, and this costume is really well made for the price. The material is silky and the detaiing and lace totally kick it up a notch. With countless of Halloween costumes and school plays for three kids, two who are already in high school, I am enthralled. It will arrive in one of those plastic bags with the hanger like you would get in Party City or Walmart or wherever you would pick up a costume, but when you take it out of the bag you can see the difference. This costume can compete with the $75+ costume I purchased from Birthday Party Express so my little one could be "Dorothy" from the Wizard of Oz to match her birthday theme. The one condition I had given her was that with that much spent, Dorothy is getting another outing this Halloween. We are both very pleased!

Item is as described. Item is true to size.
