Bottom Line

Shiny and bold, this dress is sized well for toddlers who are channeling their brave spirit or simple fun in a cute dress.

Appeals to both parents as well as kids that wear the costume for its rich colors and shiny accents. Arrives with butterfly accessories that can be removed. The fabric breathes well. A favorite among 3 to 4 year olds.

Cons

Details can make it a little messy and hard to launder.

Bottom Line

Demure and sweet, little girls will feel comfortable and mermaid-like, without tripping over a long tail.

Pros

Designed in deep aqua blue fabric and can instantly transport an imaginative kid into mermaid-mode. Will hold up for those real-life princesses who like to romp around. Cute and playful, with layers of fabric not found in other costumes. Designed for play, as well as cruises and family excursions.

Cons

While all the glitter makes for fun and great pictures, it does leave a mess behind.

Bottom Line

A modern favorite of many, this costume is detailed down to the fabric fringe and fits a variety of sizes.

Pros

Parents appreciate that the costume covers more skin than the outfit did on the actual character. With several pieces to the costume, it easily inspire's a little girl's imagination. We love the bright colors and easy fit for girls of all sizes.

Cons

Can run a little big, but should hold up over time if it needs to be grown into.

Bottom Line

Well made and proportioned in terms of its princess tiers, which will prompt swirling and turning in true Belle fashion.

Pros

Will stand up to several washes unlike other costumes. Customers note the dress' golden hue is rich and likened to the character's dress. Fits kids as young as three. Makes for timeless photographs as well.

Cons

The dress on its own is nice, but we recommend buying the option with accessories.

Bottom Line

This fancy dress can be enhanced with a few DIY tricks that can literally light up the dress' pretty details.

Pros

Described as better looking in real life versus its picture. Should run true to size; if not, on the smaller size. Adapts well to customized looks including battery operated lights that further illuminate the princess look and feel.

Cons

Several parts of the dress are stitched together, so if one part fails, the whole outfit may not work.

Disney princess costumes are coveted items for major holidays to everyday playtime activities. We’ve come to know and love Disney princesses for more than ninety years, each with a memorable look that will continue on. Given the mass appeal of Disney princess costumes, quality of design and fabric will differ among products. You can anticipate most costumes arrive true to character and will appeal to the one wearing it. Some princesses were fully covered while others lived in the sea, translating into costumes that vary in regards to coverage. Not all costumes are packaged with the complete look, such as hair pieces or accessories. While most costumes look the part, not all will feel the same. Expect sizes to run true or large, with room to grow into.
