Only worn once and washed but arrived well. The ballet pink is definitely a peachy shade but when you put it on you see a very pretty peachy pink that looks amazing with a black leotard and skirt - a very classic ballet look that I personally love a a little more "grown up" and different than the typical pale pink gummy bears that most other little girls wear. The peachy pink tones also pair PERFECTLY with her bloch flats resulting in a lovely long leg line! If you're trying to match other pinks, you might be better off with the theater pink that other reviewers mention. Slze M (8-10) is great for my petite 8 year old with little room to grow so I would say if you are unsure go up a size! I like cape tights a bit more because they seem more comfortable, but my girls haven't complained at all about the stiffer/thicker waistband of these tights.
