As mentioned in the title, the fabric and construction of the kids cactus dress is lovely. Exact same quality as the adult version of the dress. HOWEVER the thing to note here is that the kids dress runs small. I bought the size 4-5 dress for my 3 year old, who is reliably in 3T clothes in Carter’s sizes, thinking the size 4-5 would be a good fit with a little room to grow into for next summer.
Nope, the 4-5 size is slightly smaller and shorter than a Carter’s 3T. Which means it fits my child perfectly right now but has very little room to grow. Fortunately the clearance price meant I simply bought a 6-7 size for next year. But she absolutely loves the dress and demands to wear it all the time.
