My daughter joined the cheerleading team, which required a Royal Blue Tu-Tu. I'm not to fond of buying clothes type items off of Amazon, because sizes, colors and general texture of items can be so way off. But I couldn't find it in any local store so I searched on Amazon until I decided on this particular tu-tu. It was a little more expensive than other similar tu-tu's, even alot of other brands included a matching bow or socks but I'm glad i ordered from this brand.Order came as expected, on time and package was without issues. Tu-Tu was excatly as described on-line. Color was perfect, a deep bold Royal Blue. As soon as I pulled it out of the bag, I could tell right away the fabric wasn't the standard stiff material alot of costumes are made of. The tule was durable enough not to have any rips/tears as of now(after probably 8 uses and 5 washes).Tu-Tu came with 4 layers as described but most importantly it wasn't boxy. It actually had shape and the top layer of tule was made to look a little more dressier. One of my concerns was that it would be see-through, but it was not! The waistband has elastic so it is made to fit many sizes/shapes. Plus seperate material was added to waist area to somewhat seperate from the actual tu-tu. My daughter is 6yrs old and weighs about 50lbs at 44inches tall. I went with the size 2-7 yrs old. You choose size based on age not just clothes size. Sizing is accurate. Its recommended to hand wash and hang to dry. I personally put it in a wash bag, and washed in my washing machine on delicate cycle and once on casual cycle and it came out fine. I then hung on a clothes hanger and let it air dry inside of home. Came out fresh, soft and brand new looking.I highly recommend this brand, this seller & of course Amazon that makes recieving your items easy peasy! Many colors and sizes to choose from. Rather it be cheerleading, Halloween or your daughter just likes to dress up at home....you will not be disappointed!
