My girls just started getting into dresses, and we needed something long sleeve because it's winter. I found these dresses and was basically hoping for the best because my girls have never worn dresses before. I ordered the dresses in a size 6/7 for my daughters who are 5.5 and 4 (note, they are VERY tall for their ages and both wear kids medium shirts and pants).These dresses are absolutely perfect. As you can see from the picture, my girls are not shaped the same, but the dresses look absolutely adorable on both my tall, slender daughter, and my tall, thick daughter. The sleeves are the perfect length, and the dress provides plenty of give in terms of the material being stretchy, so it's easy for them to run and play in them. The colors are very vibrant, and the material is very soft. Our oldest daughter has sensory processing difficulties, and she likes the way the material feels on her skin (I did remove the size tag that was "itchy" on the back of the neck). In fact, I wound up ordering four different dresses, in different patterns, from this company because this dress is all she wants to wear now.I think it's wonderful for everyday wear, and it can be dressed up, and it's fun to just play in it because they both like to twirl and feel like princesses. I highly recommend this brand, however, I have only washed the dresses once so I will come back and update once I've washed them a few times to let people know if the colors continue to be vibrant and if the material continues to look as good as it does now.
