California CostumesChild Mermaid Costume

Runs a tad long. Or at least it seemed like it was a but too long for us. Order a size down, perhaps.This would be a good costume for occasional use, but the fins wore down quickly with my daughter stepping on them.Overall, we liked the look and added a floral lei to complete the ensemble. The shells can come off of the headband.The sleeves on this costume were more comfortable for a chilly Halloween than a sleeveless option!

I read the previous reviews and used the size chart and my daughter's measurements to determine what size to get. I got her the small even though she wears an 8 and it is a perfect, comfortable fit. As others have said it is long, but I expected that and plan to shorten it at the waist to keep the tail fin unaltered. The quality is surprisingly good, especially given the price. It is much nicer than other costumes we have purchased. It will definitely last beyond Halloween.

Costume is beautiful, but runs on the small (tight) side. My daughter wears a 7 so I bought the Small (6-8), wish we would have got the Medium (8-10). Sequins fall off easily and the headband is cheaply made. She's happy with it and that's what matters.

Bought this for my 4 year old for Halloween. This thing is LONG. When I say LONG I mean it is L-O-N-G. My 4 year old is in the 98% in height for her age. She is 44" tall and I bought her the girls size XS (equivalent to girls size 4-5) and this was about 12" too long for her. I fixed it myself by bunching it up around the waist and sewing it so it looked like I had an innertube around her! It was cute though and I still give it 4 stars because I was able to fixt it myself. My only complaint now is that she has this dress in her costume box and wears it practically every day. The sparkles are falling off and are all over the place at times. Not a big deal to vacuum up in my opinion so I'm sticking with the 4 stars. In the end ------ just know it's long and it sheds sparkles. If you can life with that, it's a decently well made product. For $20 on Amazon I'm willing to put up with that!

The costume was delivered earlier than projected, which was a real bonus. It fits well and according to our granddaughter it is very comfortable. It's is not only cute, but also very affordable. I recommend this product.

I went with other's recommendations on sizing and I agree that this should be purchased smaller than normal, my daughter is a healthy sized 8 year old in the 95th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height, the size small fits perfect with just enough length to hide her feet, but short enough to walk easily. Typically I would size her easily at a medium, not in this costume. She is a small...

This is ok for a one time wear costume but it won't last. The tail part is ripping all over. It is long sleeve which is nice for this time of the year.

I bought this for my daughter for Halloween and it was adorable!! She loved it and as an added bonus, was able to wear it to her birthday party due to the under the sea theme. Highly recommend, however I don't recommend buying a larger size. I did this hoping she could wear it longer and she had some troubles tripping on it. If you buy it big, I would consider pinning it before sending them out.
