My daughter loves animals and since it's been so hot lately I've decided to buy her some clothes. She is only 3 years old but wears size 6-7 dresses. This one was tall in length and arm's length, but a bit wide. I think it will go well with a thick belt, but if it fits her in width it will look more like a shirt on her. The material is soft, slightly transparent, the buttons fit well. I think it would be great as home wear or party wear. The price of a dress may be a bit high for some, but knowing that it will last for several years gives you a great price.
