a bit too long and does not seem to be holding up well [SEP] my son loves it but it is not holding up well to regular wear it looks frazzled and rather ugly after a month of occasional use on the plus side the ribbons are surprisingly strong i thought for sure they would rip out of the tail but they have not he ties it around his waist through his belt loops and it stays pretty well the ears are no good for boys they are hair clips that slide in and then flop right over from the their own weight might work better in a girls hair if hair sprayed though over all if it is just a once in a while dress up it is a nice tail but for kids regular use it is a bit too long and does not seem to hold up well
