The dress is so pretty I even bought the dress from David in case it didn't fit but I was so happy with the purchase. I have both dresses but thought it was a wedding dress as did a few other people. The dress is beautiful but it needs a petticoat and dry or steam cleaning. It comes in the smallest package, it was almost never delivered to me (it fits in the mailbox). They were so cute too when I thought it was lost or stolen, it was in an envelope, I never imagined this dress would fit in a small package. walk ! My daughter is 40 inches and weighs 30.6 pounds. She is smaller but there is enough room in the dress for a bigger child. I'll probably take it a little to get it true to size.
