Adorable and fits well
There are four pieces to the costume: dress, wings, magic wand, and headband. As another reviewer stated, the headband is too big -- it's made of a loop of wire that's far too wide and just slips right over my daughter's head -- but the rest of the costume is great. One thing I particularly like about it is that the bodice is made of a stretchy velvety material and fits nicely even on my skinny kid; most other costumes that I have looked at are cut too wide, and have no give to accommodate different-shaped kids. I believe that the stretch of this costume should accommodate regular-sized and chunky kids as well, but I haven't tried it out. The wings are really cool; they're made of a heavy duty wire with a lavender pantyhose-like material stretched over them, and so far they've put up with a decent amount of wear as my daughter wears them around the house, sits down, squashes them, etc. If she's bent them once or twice, they are easy to mold back into shape. The wand is quite long, maybe 16 inches, and has strings of ribbons and beads attached; watch out for the beads when your kid flicks her wrist to cast a spell, as they can smart if they hit you.

Like most Halloween costumes, it is not built for really heavy use; in particular, the edges of the cloth pieces are serged instead of being hemmed, so fraying is a hazard and I don't believe the costume would hold up to real abuse and lots of self-dressing unless I reinforced the piece edges and seams with some extra stitching. But it should be fine for Halloween. My daughter is mostly happy to put on the wings and traipse around, without the costume, which is good as the wings seem more durable than the dress.

UPDATE AFTER HALLOWEEN: To my surprise, this costume survived being worn for an entire day at preschool (including outdoor play and a nap rolling on those wings), followed by Trick or Treating, and is still fine for dress-up use afterward. The edges of the satiny part of the skirt frayed slightly, but the whole thing held together fine after a great deal of abuse.

I concur with another reviewer that it's a bit light for this to be the only layer worn for trick-or-treating outdoors, though it's OK for an indoor party.

Accessories make this Great!
My 3-1/2 year old daughter had this costume for Halloween 2008 - the headband, fairy wings, and wand really made this costume come together fantastic!

The dress is thin material (so thin that it is almost see-through), so she wore a long sleeve light purple top underneath it (any girl color would work though: pink, light blue, even just white) and she had white tights and did not complain once of being cold.

It is now the number one outfit for dress up tea parties!

wonderful
