Laura Ingalls Wilder Pioneer Dress for Girls - Colonial Prairie Costume in Navy Blue - Perfect for Historical Reenactments, School Plays & Halloween Costumes (Size 6Y)

This is a great play dress and our daughter loves it. It has held up well to wear almost once a week for 6 months, I would highly recommend it.My daughter was so excited to wear this to the historical museum/school outing. She looked so good! Would definitely recommend.My granddaughter loves this dress! It has a waistline so you don’t have to have the apron for it to fit nicely. It is also good quality-not a cheap costume-so she can wear it daily or just for dress-up!My daughter needed a Laura Ingalls Wilder costume for a school presentation. She is a tall and thin 9 yr old and normally wears size 10/12 clothes. We bought this in a size 12, which fit her well (it has room to grow, but it didn't look at all like it was too big). I was impressed by the quality of the materials. It is not costume material; it is made to feel and look like a real dress. We bought this one and the "California Costumes Girls Pioneer Girl Child Costume" (which we bought in size Medium, since reviews said it runs big).Ultimately, my daughter decided to keep the California Costumes Girls Pioneer Girl Child Costume for a few reasons:1. The material is so comfy, it feels like pajamas. While this Scarlet Darkness dress has a fabric made for real dress wearing and not just as a costume, my daughter was drawn to the softness of the other dress.2. The other dress has a full apron (covering chest and waist), which is attached to the dress. This one has a separate waist apron. My daughter simply preferred the more covered look and that the apron was attached.3. The other dress' bonnet has a velcro strap under the chin and had no creases on the bonnet, so it framed my daughter's face without flopping down over her forehead. The bonnet for this dress has to be tied under the chin, resulting in long bow ties hanging down, which she didn't prefer. Also, the bonnet happened to have a large crease in the middle, causing one side of the bonnet to flop slightly over her forehead. We struggled to find a way to make the bonnet stand up so it wouldn't flop on her face. I might have tried ironing and starching the bonnet to remove the crease, but since we were deciding which dress to keep, I didn't want to do anything to the material before making a decision.So, primarily because of the bonnet and the apron, and also because my daughter preferred the softer fabric, she chose to go with the other dress. However, she was absolutely delighted with both options, and made her decision ultimately on what she felt were somewhat petty choices. She admitted that if she had only ever tried one of the dresses without the other, she would have been happy with either one of them.I would recommend this dress both as a costume and for any pioneer enthusiasts who want to dress and play in pioneer era-style dress.We celebrate Pioneer Days in my state, so I bought this for my granddaughter. The material is cheap, but the construction is quite good and I’m pleased with my purchase as is my little girl.I really liked this product it really looked like the real deal! Unfortunately after washing it once it became super crinkled and became kind of uncomfortable. Other than that it was totally AWSOME. ?????My daughter told me that my granddaughter wanted a Laura Ingalls dress for her 5th birthday present. I didn't have time to even shop for the fabric, so I immediately thought "well what's on Amazon?" I was amazed at the quality that was advertised. But wasn't exactly sure if it would arrive in that quality, or in some poor quality polyester fabric. The reviews on this costume said that It was good quality. So I gave it a try. So glad I did. This is such a cute outfit and she loved it. I bought it in a size 8 so that she would be able to fit it for a couple years. She wears size 6.Absolutely darling!! My daughter is a very tall and thin 6 year old, we bought the 7Y dress in pink, it's baggy but will fit her for a long time. It is a beautifully made dress, much nicer than the California Costumes prairie girl dress which we returned because it looked so homely and was polyester and just plain ugly. This dress is high quality, the bonnet is darling, the apron is darling, the lace trim on the collar and sleeves are super cute- the dress could not be better!! I can't imagine my daughter will take it off anytime soon! So so pleased with this purchase. Now my daughter just needs a basket and a dairy cow ?
