I am so pleasantly surprised at the quality of this costume. I didn't expect much especially with the faux fur trim. But It is really soft! It does shed a bit at first but I can live with that. My daughter is very fussy about clothes and the fact that there were no complaints about the comfort of the costume says a lot. I highly recommend this costume! My daughter is 6 and we bought size small 4-6. It fits her like a glove. She's pretty thin and the costume by design hugs the body. Keep that in mind when ordering.
My daughter wore this costume last Halloween. We went to about 4 parties and she played in it several times, and it held up great. Only thing was the rope belt thing. I never could figure out what to do with it.
My daughter decided months ahead of time what she wanted to be for Halloween and I just happened to see this on the Mattel website, thankfully! It fits great and looks fabulous!
