Bought this dress for my granddaughter for a competition (she won!). Nicely done. Looked very good on stage. I'm glad I read the reviews before buying because it really is a bit big - my granddaughter is 9 so I bought the dress in a size 8. It was a little big in the shoulders and a little long even with small heels but luckily my daughter has a friend who corrected her. Can recommend this dress. Very important.
