   The costume is simple, cute and easy to put on, but time will tell how durable (longer than one season?) it is and how well the velcro closures wear. The dog doesn’t seem to mind wearing it and she’ll look precious as my daughter’s sidekick (the hotdog vendor…) on Halloween.

   FYI: Our daushound mix (approx. 15″ long and about 13 pounds) can wear it, but it’s snug. I’m wondering if a large size would have been better? The velcro closes, but it’s on the very end of the closure.

   This is a very cute idea, to bad my little hot dog doggies just hated it.

   Product is poorly made. One of the straps that hold the costume on was frayed upon opening the package. It lasted about five minutes on the dog before it tore completely. It can’t be repaired by sewing because the type of stitch used on the strap just unravels. It is a cute costume, but I expect a product to at least be functional when first taken out of the package.

   I bought this costume for my 3.5 year old who wears a 4/5T. She is big for her age and is in 75th percentile for both height and weight. This costume in a size 2-4T was way too long and wide and it fell off of her shoulders. I had to sew the length up 3 inches so she wouldn’t trip on it. And I had to sew the shoulders up 2 inches on each side so it wouldn’t fall off of her shoulders. This is a great costume if you like to sew and don’t mind spending too much money in general for something that doesn’t fit. Also, she only wore it twice and the bottom part has runs throughout it like pantyhose. It is not very well made but is very cute and covers the body, unlike most of these costumes. She loved wearing it…I just didn’t expect to have to tailor it like a wedding dress.

   Yes, it’s big. I ordered the size 2T-4T (the label actually says 3-4 Toddler) & it’s too long on my very tall & thin almost 4 year old. At 47 months old, 42″ tall & 33 lbs, I’d say that there’s a good 1-2″ in length that the costume could be altered. It’s also a little loose around her torso, but not bad enough to warrant sending it back. I’m not a seamstress nor do I have a desire to be, so I plan to fix the length issue for Halloween by putting a belt around my daughter’s waist & then pulling the costume up & over the belt so that it’s mostly hidden. The green fabric that is around the waist area of the costume nicely hides the belt.

   Other than the overly-generous sizing (I’d say the 2-4T is more like a size 4/5…except the sleeve length, which fits my daughter perfectly), I’m very happy w/ this costume & like it better than the $50 Disney costume (and my wallet likes this costume better than the $70 “super deluxe” mermaid costume that my daughter wanted).

   I already did a review on this costume on Amazon.com. Interestingly, it isn’t showing up now. Last October, I bought this costume in size 2T/4T and had to sew up the length 4 inches and take about 4 inches in on the sides. My daughter is almost 4 years old and in the 75th percentile for both height and weight. She wears a 5T or small girls size 4/5 and this 2T-4T costume was WAY, WAY TOO BIG on her. I spent hours sewing it so it wouldn’t fall off of her shoulders and/or cause her to trip on the length. Costume was very disappointing and I wonder why the sizing was so off. The manufacturer did say it ran big but it was ridiculously big and the 2T/4T would probably be big on most 6 or 7 yr olds. Most parents have better things to do than sew! Consumers who like to sew for hours will like this costume….everyone else should buy something else!

   I read the reviews, but since my 3.5 year old daughter loves mermaids, I had no choice but to purchase it. She wears a 3t-4t, I bought the 2-4t, and I have to say it fits perfectly. Yes, there is a little room to grow into it, but it’s not dragging on the floor or falling off her shoulders. The sleeves aren’t too long and the the neckline isn’t too low. I’m happy to say my daughter loves it! It came in the mail yesterday. I was hoping it would be a Halloween costume, but if she continues to wear it like she has been, I’m sure it’ll be stained or damaged from use well before October 31st. PS: The item was delivered within 48 hours of purchase.

    My 4 1/2 yr old is 39″ tall and it was too long. I will alter it myself so that the tail part is not dragging on the ground. The top was a little big too but I’ll have to pin it or alter it somehow. The design is real cute and I like the head band too. My daughter just loves to wear it whenever she watches the Little Mermaid DVD!

    The head on this costume was not proportionate to the body. It also sets back on the forhead way too far. Very cute online but not functional on my child.
