I bought 2 of these in bright pink and light pink for my 4 year old (20-21 inch waist about 38-40 lb child). They state they fit 17-26 inches but they are a little snug/tight on the waist--she actually wore it more on her hip but she took it off a few minutes later, so I could tell she did not like something about the skirt. I decided to make the waist wider and now she LOVES IT. The skirt is beautiful and well stitched and very feminine--the flower is gorgeous and the petals inside the tulle is lovely, but it is the thick piece of elastic inside the satin waist that is not that flexible --it is maybe 1-1.5" thick and I am not sure why they didn't use a 0.5" thinner, more flexible elastic that I see on Fancy/Nancy skirts at Target that fit my children better but cost about 15$ per skirt vs. 5-7$ with this brand. After I took the seam apart and hand sewed maybe a 3-4" piece of elastic, the skirt now measures about 19-20 inches and will now stretch comfortably to maybe 27-28" so should fit for awhile. I intend to keep adding elastic as they get older. I bought a 54" piece of elastic at Joann's fabric for 1.50$. The skirts now fit wonderful and my daughter will not take it off. My other child has a 24 inch waist and the skirt fits her well now too. I did not use a sewing machine b/c I do not own one and it seems to be fine, but if you know how to sew, I would think it would look more professional and would be faster/easier to do.
Overall, it is maybe 15-20 minutes of work per skirt to do this (hand sewing) but my kids love them!
