The dress is really cute and I like the feel of the fabric, but it’s annoying how much it shrunk when washed. I bought a size 8 and a size 10 for a ten year old girl and the 8 fit well. It had a funny smell to it so I put it in the wash on delicate with cold water and then dried it on the clothes line. You could tell the outside layer shrunk compared to the lining so I had her try it back on. It’s kind of tight in the chest now but I think we can make it work for what we purchased it for.
