My 3 year old wore this beautiful dress to a wedding. She danced, sat, and ate comfortably. I had originally ordered both a 2t and 3t, since my daughter is petite, and the 2t did fit but the 3t has room to grow so I kept that one. The length is perfect, above the ankles. Worth noting that the bows are held on by a small stitch to the shoulder straps and are easily untied, could be easily cut off. I had to re-tie the bows a few times during the evening. Ultimately, such a great dress. At the end of the night, my daughter didn't want to take it off!
