Butterfly CrazeLittle Girl's Mermaid Costume, Top/Dress with Skirt - Perfect for Birthday Parties, Halloween, School Fairs

We bought this as a backup mermaid costume, and we ended up using it a bit. The skirt is beautiful and very shiny, and it looks really good on our daughter, but two major issues:First, there is no sort of elastic or anything that really holds up the skirt. It's not very stretchy material, either. So while it seemed to be a pretty good fit, I could tell it wasn't going to stay up. Sure enough, it kept falling down, revealing undies.Second, on both the skirt and the top, the sequins shed like crazy and get into places they should not be able to (like inside the revealed underwear!). I bought a sequin mermaid tail for myself from a different company (adult size), and they had a sort of nearly-invisible mesh over the sequins, holding them in. Something for this seller to consider adding (although maybe that would take out some of the beautiful shine of these sequins).The top is beautiful and seemed to shed less, but we didn't wear it as much, so that might be why. For pictures, we paired the top with a more mermaid-like mermaid tail, and the top was perfect with its cute little flare. This skirt was easier to walk in, so we switched to this skirt after pictures. (It's easier to walk in but not necessarily 100% easy to walk in. :) )Add some sort of elastic or something to hold the skirt up better and do something to keep the sequins from shedding, and you would have a five-star outfit... it's a very cute outfit for special occasions, and with some imagination, mermaiding around.

From my almost 5 year old daughter after wearing this for two minutes "I love my costume. I want to wear it all day and all night. That's how I feel about it." Hahaha. Good quality, top is a bit tight. She is a 5T and I got the large. It just fits. It's beautiful.

This overall is a beautiful costume and my daughter loves it. It runs a little small. Defiantly great quality for your money.

She love it. She felt like a princess! It's a good quality.

This mermaid costume is gorgeous! My daughter loves it so much and it's even more beautiful in person!Great for a photo shoot or just playing dress up!
