Strawberry Shortcake Deluxe Children's Costume, B0029U0XYM

Strawberry Shortcake Deluxe Children's Costume, Small - 2.8 out of 5 stars from 51 customer reviews


Sizing is off
Cute costume and will serve its purpose for Halloween, but it has been way more trouble than it's worth. My daughter wears a size 3T, so I originally ordered the toddler size. It wouldn't even go over her torso. I ended up returning it and ordering the child's small which said it would fit size 6-8, and it fit great...except for the elastic in the sleeves which would even be too tight for my one-year-old's arm. My daughter is petite, so this is never an issue. I removed the elastic, turned up the sleeve, restitched, and put in an appropriate sized piece of elastic.

Do NOT buy this costume.
We ordered this costume in a size medium. It lists the costume as "Toddler" in the title of the item, but then for sizing it lets you choose from Toddler, Small, or Medium. We chose Medium, and there was even a price increase reflected in the price. When the item showed up, it was NOT a Medium. It was a Toddler size (2-4, for kids ages 1-2). It was teeny tiny. I was totally annoyed that I specifically chose Medium from the menu and was sent a toddler size anyway. Now it is sold out on Amazon in the medium size, so I returned it and ordered from another vendor completely.

There are two different Strawberry Shortcake costumes. There is this one and then there is another version in which the child pictured is different and the dress cut is more straight than A-lined (like in this costume). This costume is made of a NON-STRETCHING material. There is absolutely NO give to it. Not only that, the material is very flimsy and cheap, so even the slightest tug at the seam...

Runs small and Is cheaply made
I must agree with others on this. The costume runs very small and the material is cheap. I only bought it because my daughter didn't want to be anything other than strawberry shortcake. It isn't worth the price. I bought two other costumes for my boys and they were great.
