Review on Splendid Sequin And Lace Party Dress For Toddler Girls By YOUNGER TREE by Amber Perez

We picked this dress for my daughter's upcoming 6th birthday dress, which is ballerina themed. When it came out of the package, her eyes lit up! She didn't want to take it off! The skirt is delightfully poofy, even straight out of the packaging, so with a bit of fluffing, It will be perfect. She loved the sequins and the volume of the skirt. I love the little cut out detail of the back. A couple of weird things: the ribbon, sewn on at the middle back of the waist, is longer on one side than the other, so it makes for a lopsided bow in back, and is really a bit too short to wrap around the front and still have enough for a pretty bow off to one side (it reaches, but just enough to make a small one). I need to investigate whether it is worth seam-ripping and re-attaching or not. Next, she's tall/long torsoed and very thin for her age. I bought the size 4/5 to wear as she turns 6, because others mentioned that the bodice was a bit wide. Even in this smaller size, it is a bit wide, but not unflatteringly so. She could certainly wear it tighter, but the width isn't too irksome. Last, the skirt, while voluminous and beautiful, is a bit on the short side. I somehow was expecting a few inches longer than what I got, but that may have a little to do with the size I needed to order for her. I prefer she not show too much thigh, and this is honestly a little shorter than I'd like (and she'd never be able to wear it at school, which has a no-shorter-than-2" above the knee clause in the dress-code), but the volume helps and it is truly an adorable number. So even though the fit isn't perfect and the bow is a bit wonky, we still give this a solid 4 stars because it's every bit as sparkly and poofy as a little girl could desire. Also, if you have an average-to-wide girth child who is average-to-short in height, it will be right out-of-the-park perfect.
