We should have believed the other reviews. My daughter was IN LOVE with this costume but no matter what size we ordered, it did not fit. She is 9 years old, 4 1/2 feet tall and about 70 pounds. The medium was way too small and the large was way too big. And like other reviewers mentioned, the proportions of this costume are all wrong...huge at the top, tight in the middle and the sash is way too small on both sizes. As much as we loved the idea of this costume, I would suggest not purchasing it. :(
