Wizard Of Oz


My granddaughters, ages 3 1/2 & 5, really enjoy playing with this dress up set. Clothes are easy for them to put on by themselves, and their imaginations run wild as they "act out" the Wizard of Oz. This is a good product for the money. Set contains three outfits with many accessories. Only drawback is the articles of clothing are somewhat small. This would not be recommended for over age 5 as I believe the clothing would be too little. An argument usually erupts over the one pair of ruby slippers. But, some days you want to be the good witch, and some days the bad!! Wizard Oz Dress up Trunk

This is complete junk. The clothes are more of scraps of material that you piece together than clothes - you can't really tell this in the photo unless you study it. My child is 3 years old and has a small, slender build and the clothes barely fit her. The 'cute' storage truck is some cardborard stock you fold to put together, which doesn't seemed designed to stay together on it's own. Also, there's no photo on the trunk. Buy something else!

I ended up buying another set of costumes....too many bits to the outfits (frustrating for little ones trying to keep it all together), shoes not the safest for 3yr olds - one of the hats too big the other too small.Pity as the concept is great sadly though quality definitely not worth the $20. My 3yr old is slim and these costumes are too small on her.

Lastly the trunk that it comes with does not stay together unless you use a lot of tape.Hope this review helps - if I had someone giving me a heads up about this product I definitely would have thought twice.

Thank goodness my 3 year old is slim and even then the pieces are small. The pieces are also not well made and for $30 I could buy 2 quality disney or barbie costumes. She loves wizard of oz and thinks this dress-up trunk is very fun. She is frustrated by the way the costumes work with the sleeves being separate.



Child is happy but mom is disappointed.

I was a little disappointed to see the clothes from the dress up trunk. When my daughter took them out on Christmas day and started trying them on, we all broke out in laughter. The shirts that they included in the trunk came up to her upper chest area. I'm not sure who they made these shirts to fit, but they don't fit my very skinny 4 yr old or my 3 yr old son who is shorter in stature then my 4 yr old. Some of the clothes are cute but I would save your money and buy something else.

This is a very cute dress up trunk--however, Glenda's witch crown fit me, the bad witch was really little and the shirts to all three outfits was really short--which was a problem for my daughter. She likes her shirts to be long enough to tuck in and these definately weren't even close. If that isn't a problem for your little girl, this would probably be fine--just have to deal with the size difference in the witch hats.

The costumes run very small. It says for 3+, but they will barely fit a 3-year-old. (Odd, considering the shoes are huge!!)I bought them for my 4-year-old, and we'll only get a few months' use out of them.



It was made cheaply, so the sleeves aren't even on the costumes - I finally pinned them on, b/c they're always falling off.



Don't expect the trunk to stay together.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! This is the worst dress up set I have ever seen! I read the reviews and stupidly ordered it anyway figuring, "How bad can it be?" Well it is junk. The "costumes" wouldn't fit a poodle, let alone a child. Listen to the reviews, do not buy this!!

My girls are obsessed with The Wizard of Oz and not a day goes by that they aren't wearing some part of these costumes. However, they are the cheapest costumes out there and it shows. The ruby slippers broke the first day, without being mistreated at all! My daughter was walking across the carpeted den and the shoes snapped in half. (She is 4 and small for her age.) The Glinda costume ripped in a week. The "shirts" are too small, even for my 2-year old. It is not "one size fits all" and the sizes are not consistent, as the Dorothy dress is huge and would fit a 7-year old. The witch's hat doesn't even fit the head of my children's baby dolls (too small). If your kids are obsessed like mine, I would bite the bullet and buy a different product that is better made and will last longer.

When I received this and opened the package immediately I was disappointed, the outfits have too many parts to them. The Dorothy dress sleeves are not attached, the neck part is not attached and the blouse is not attached to the jumper. I had to end up getting my sewing machine out and attaching the arms to the blouse because my grand daughter was so frustrated in the sleeves falling down. All the outfits the sleeves are seperate. The toy cardboard chest is a JOKE. My husband and I took forever to figure out how the box parts fit together and then they would not stay together I had to end up getting out my stapler to keep them stay in place. For the money it not worth it. I must say that once I made all the adjustments my granddaughter will NOT part with her Dorothy dress. The rest of the outfits she could care less about so if you little one is into The Wizard of Oz and like Dorothy try some other site to buy only the dress.'
