Tangled Rapunzel'S Signature Dress (J-Hook) B003GT3MK2

Tangled Rapunzel'S Signature Dress (J-Hook) - 2.8 out of 5 stars from 9 customer reviews


Quality so-so for the price
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she has worn it constantly since she opened it up. The hem has already torn completely off and there is a large hole in the side seam of the bodice. We've had lots of Disney Princess dresses - ranging from the cheap versions that come in the dress-up trunks (which are actually the best quality AND they are usually machine washable) to the more expensive straight-from-the-theme-park versions, and the more expensive dresses all fall apart. This one included. The Aurora dress I bought my daughter for halloween for $50 fell apart instantly and I had to sew it back together (ever tried to sew chiffon by hand?), so I was very careful to buy one that was a little big and that had less chiffon involved when I chose this dress. It's not like she's climbing tress in it. The problem with these dresses is that they are so bottom heavy. The construction of them is such that the bodice can't support the heavy skirt layers. And for little girls...


Poor quality
My 3 year old received this from her aunt as a gift for her birthday 2 weeks ago, I'm not sure where it was purchased or for what price, but it's this same dress. It is a tad big on her (at 32 lbs and 39" tall). She has worn the dress maybe a maximum of 5 times, and at that has only worn it about 10-20 minutes each time. The hem has already started the shred, so much that I had to trim it so she doesn't trip on the large "loops" of shredded material. Where the bodice and skirt meet on the left side of the front has come apart. Very disappointed in the quality of this dress, which only validates why I personally will not by the name brand princess dresses.

That said, she is 3 and really just loves to wear the dress, rips, tears and all!


Tangled dress
It is a nice dress to play. But it should be more resistant. After 2 washes it looks like 10 years old.
