First off, let me just say—this dress is a total win for both parents and kids. The material is thick yet soft, which means no worrying about it being see-through or flimsy. My daughter wore it to a school dance, and it held up beautifully all night.

The fit is true to size, which is a relief when shopping online. It’s stretchy enough to be comfortable but still structured enough to look polished. Plus, the pockets! My kid was thrilled—finally, a dress that lets her carry her treasures without needing a bag.

One minor gripe? It arrives wrinkled (like, *really* wrinkled). A quick steam or ironing session fixes it, but fair warning if you’re in a hurry. Also, the fabric has a slight stiffness at first, but it softens after a wash.

Versatility is where this dress shines. We’ve dressed it up for formal events (hello, graduation photos) and down for casual outings. The built-in half-slip is a thoughtful touch—no awkward transparency issues.

Pro tip: Size up if you want longevity. My daughter’s still growing into hers, but the slightly roomy fit makes it wearable for seasons to come. And after multiple washes? Still looks brand new. Worth every penny.
