It's funny. As i write this review, my daughter came up to me and said, "Mommy I tore my dress!" She was jumping on the bed and while stepping on the skirt, ripped part of the green shoulder right off. Please don't let that deter you from buying this and saving yourself tons of dough in the process. This is a rather lovely costume/dress for the money I paid (less than $18) on Amazon......This Christmas, Frozen dresses were the main request for both my daughters, and being in Orlando, i have access to view every which dress that Disney produces. By far imho, the Disney Store dresses are the prettiest, better quality and detail than WDW. That being said, i was still unable to justify the DS almost $100 +- price tag for their Coronation version and their other version ($50+-) was nowhere to be found locally....I was however, able to purchase an Elsa gown at DS (which is beautiful!!). I took the chance and bought this Disguise version of the coronation dress and am very pleased with my purchase. It is very nicely detailed in the parts that count and the designs on the skirt are printed on a sheer handkerchief like material ( like the Disney Store version), UNLIKE the WDW version that is printed on an almost vinyl-y type skirt (which is strange to me...it's sort of plasticky!)........The designs on the bodice are not embroidered but printed and that's ok with me (remembering the price i paid). Capped sleeves with their green lace edging are very sweet. If you have a question about length, both dresses (DS Elsa and Disguise Anna) were purchased in a size 7/8. They are the same exact length. (my elder daughter, who is just getting into 7/8 clothes comfortably is tinier than a typical girl her age so my comparison in this regard may not help you).
Some very slight aesthetic issues i have with this dress...
The brooch's sticker started peeling off immediately. It was added on with an elastic band that was longer than it should have been so the weight of it would not let it sit properly on the chest anyway..and as it didn't lend to the authenticity of the Coronation dress from the movie, my daughter requested to remove it. So i did and it was easy and it looked so much better that way.
The skirt color is a bit darker than i think it ought to be. It's ever so slightly not as bright of a green as from the movie but more of an olive.....My girls don't notice and think it's perfect, which is fine for me!
Overall, this is a very nice purchase for the price. It falls to a very nice length and the design is rendered nicely. The quality is not that of a well made dress but yet not as bad as the big box store dresses .(and at the excellent price, why would you even bother purchasing from a big box for their version?)....remember if your daughter plays roughly in it, it will tear! I would rate this at 4.75 stars if i could due to the issues i noted above.
