Disney Fairies Tinker Bell Pixie Petal Dress (4X-6X) - 3.2 out of 5 stars from 4 customer reviewspretty costume, but runs small
the colors on this costume are quite vivid and my daughter likes them. i'd caution that while this is sized as a 4-6x, it's waaaay small - it'd call it more of a 3-4. my DD just turned 5 and is tall, but that costume won't fit for long. it's also quite short, and that might not sit well with many parents of little girls.
You better have a sewing machine
Ok, it is really cute, but not made to last. Also, believe the other reviews; it is big! Not as in length, if your child is an average weight for her age, then chances are you will have to have these fixed to fit her. The fact that it is too loose and the material is cheap, make it impossible for the wings to stay put. I still did not have time to fix it, so the wings are hanging on the closet, but my daughter gets to dress up a bit and play in the yard. Another thing to be wary of, wash it by hand. It is fragile and I can see that if I put that in my washer it will destroy it. It just amazes me that Disney puts their name in things that are not well made, and not made to work properly. After all, the wings should be the most fun part of this dress and it has to stay out of the play (that's why 3 stars for fun only). I think they do these things because they have no competition. So they win and we consumers lose. I hate that.
get out your sewing machine
Like other Disney dress-up costumes we've had, this one needs work...lots of it. The sizing is awful, so be prepared to do some alterations before your little princess can wear it. The costume runs a little small overall, tight around the tummy and pretty short, but due to the location of the velcro on the back, it gapes open and the wings are almost parallel to the floor when they are attached to the back. I had to remove all of the velcro and reattach it so the dress would close tighter at the top. Also, the shoulder straps are way too long for a 4 year-old; I had to shorten them by over an each so they would stay on my daughter's shoulders.
It's durability is yet to be confirmed, but if it follows previous Disney outfits, I'll keep my sewing machine out...lots of mending and repairing are expected, as it simply falls apart with wear.
That said, my daughter likes wearing it and loves playing fairy princess in it.
