This was PERFECT for our son's Candy Cane Day at school. It fit well and was well made. It fit him TTS and was soft to the touch. The colors were vibrant and the style was classic. This was a solid purchase that was well priced and just what we needed!

Such a cute shirt
Size: 3, Color: Multicolor - Long Sleeve
Amazing shirt honestly such good quality. Got it for my 2yo's Halloween costume but he wears it on the daily and it's held up quite well. The colors are bright and don't bleed in the wash.

Perfect Pugsley Shirt!!!
Size: 6, Color: Black and White - Short Sleeve, Size: 6, Color: Black and White - Short Sleeve
I am that mom that makes her family dress up as a group for Halloween. I let my kids pick their own outfits for school/day, but at night we dress up as a family. Every year I pick a different group outfit, this year it's Adam's Family.
My son is 4 years old and in a 5T (he's big for his age). I would say the shirt fits like a 5-6 but may be snug if your little one is on the verge of size 7. I decided to size up since there wasn't a 5T option and glad I did!
The material isn't thick but not super thin either, the thickness of a standard cotton tee. The white stripes are not see through. The shirt is a perfect match for the Pugsley costume. I'm so glad i purchased this vs the entire costume since my son has black shorts. My son said it was comfortable.
