Although the dress has two well made embellishments, it has a flimsy and loose, single straight stitched waist, flimsy and loose, visible overlock stitched seams and raw edges at the bottom.

Item M00250, Storybrook Princess (Child), is a textile costume set that consists of a dress and a tiara, with the dress imparting the essential character. Although the dress has well-made embellishments, it has a flimsy and loose, visible overlock stitched neck, flimsy and loose, visible overlock stitched seams, flimsy thin elastics at the arms and flimsy and loose, visible overlock stitched edges at the bottom.

Item M00343, Policeman (Child), is a textile costume set that consists of a top, pants, a badge, handcuffs and a belt, with the top imparting the essential character. Although the top has a styling feature and a well-made embellishment, a flimsy and loose, visible overlock stitched neck, it has flimsy and loose, visible overlock stitched seams and flimsy and loose, visible overlock stitched edges at the arms, bottom, pocket and collar.

Item M00701, Marilyn (Adult), is a textile costume comprised of a dress.
