Checking Our List #20: Aeromax Tie Dye Fairy {Review & My 1st Career Gear Giveaway}

{This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, Jen!}

Once upon a time there was a 4-year-old who loved to imagine that she was a princess and a firefighter and a superhero and teacher and a zookeeper and just about any other character that her mind could dream up.

So, one day when she opened a package and discovered that she was going to instantly be transformed into a fairy, well, she was pretty darn excited about that.

Known for their high quality and affordable imaginative play gear, Aeromax's Tie Dye Fairy costume is just the thing to turn any little girl into a happy, twirling fairy in a matter of minutes. The bright combination of lime green and yellow-orange in the stretchy bodice and the multi-layered tulle skirt trimmed in satin ribbon is both fun and comfortable and just plain calling out for dancing and spinning.

Pulling this on right over her head, Big Sister E right away started admiring the rosette detail on the front, the attached wings on the back and the many, many layers of the light, fluffy skirt.

Available in three sizes, I selected the largest in hopes of getting the most use out of this outfit and was glad that I did. Being slightly loose allowed a t-shirt and pants to easily fit underneath and, considering the cooler weather that has descended, on days when the temperatures aren't too low, we can still pull this on and head outside to extend the fairy possibilities into the yard as well.

Needless to say, Big Sister E has loved being a Tie Dye Fairy... so much so that, as per the norm, we usually have to let a second, smaller fairy take a turn as well.

I've been really pleased with the quality and craftsmanship that went into this Tie Dye Fairy costume and how well it has held up to the number of times that it has been pulled on and off and has managed to not get stretched out or worn-looking. Retailing for $19.95, this is easily an outfit that could be worn for dress-up, Halloween, an appropriate performance and more and always look great.

With options available for both boys and girls, Aeromax makes it easy and affordable to encourage dress-up and pretend play in all ages. Everything from animal costumes to unique jackets and capes to Get Real Gear filled with real and imaginary characters of all kinds that are sure to bring enjoyment and fun.

For an even more affordable option, Aeromax's My 1st Career Gear is a collection of six different child-friendly costumes that can slip on quickly and easily for immediate fun. We had the opportunity to review the My 1st Career Gear Dr. (Pink) a few months ago and were very impressed at the combination of the simple style, durable quality and $10.95 price tag. What a great holiday gift by itself or in addition to other dress-up gear or accessories!

And, thanks to Aeromax's generosity, one person will get to surprise the child on their list with a confidence-boosting, imagination-building endless good time, because...
