5 out of 5 starsSo perfect! I bought this for my cousin (6) and she hasn’t taken it off. It’s beautifully made with great attention to detail. The way it’s designed means the straps will adjust to fit her at least a year or two and she can wear it as is or with a t shirt & leggings so I imagine it’s going to be the favorite outfit for quite a while!
