I bought this dress for my daughter for school as the weather begins to change to Fall. She has tried it on and it fits just fine. It is stretchy yet soft and appears to be durable but I'll see if that remains to be the case. So far I am pleased with the purchase except I thought it a little pricey but if it endures washing and the rough and tumble movement of a preschooler while still allowing her to look like a little girl, then the money spent is worth it! If nothing else, it should get a few wears to some other semi-formal occasions like church/synagogue, birthday parties, family dinners, etc.
