Madeline is all about the hat. The photo online shows THE Madeline hat with the upturned brim. The photo on the package is the same one. The hat that I received, however, looks NOTHING like the picture. It is a wide-brimmed hat with an absolutely FLAT BRIM -- not able to be molded or turned up or anything -- which looks nothing at all like the Madeline from the books. The fleece on the coat/dress is the kind of fleece that pills immediately and looks awful. If "Rubies" is the manufacturer, they need to fix this, as you will most certainly not get what you paid for.

I was very dissapointed with this purchase. I shopped long and hard to find just the right Madeline costume. (There are a few styles to choose from.) What I got is NOT what is pictured on the outside of the packaging. The hat was different, scarf was different, and the dress was definatley not the same as what I thought I'd be getting. With it being so close to Halloween, I have no time to send it back, but beware, this picture is being used to sell a costume that is not inside the package. That being said, it's a nice costume- well made. Just not what the doctor ordered!

The quality of this costume was very poor and didn't look like the picture. There are several different companies that produce this same costume, and Rubie's Costume Co. produced the particular costume I received. I wonder if the reviews of products by the other manufacturers are equally negative.
Instead of a bow on Madeline's hat, there was a ridiculously large piece of black foam cut into a bow-like shape that looked absurd and 2-D. Also, the red ribbon shown at Madeline's coat collar was not large and vibrant, as in the picture; it looked like a 6-inch length of red shoelace. I had to make several alterations in order for costume to look acceptable. I have never purchased anything this chintzy in my life.
