Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend This pattern runs quite large. Size down until the bodice is the right size and then add length. It has a zipper so needs to fit fairly snugly. It doesn't say to finish the edges of the fabric where the zipper goes prior to insertion, but if you don't go that a woven will ravel.
Would you sew this pattern again? Yes
Would you recommend this pattern to others? Yes
Any additional comments Decent pattern, goes together well, but watch the sizing closely. It seems to run quite large. The photo shows a size 3 on a 4yo DD with 2 inches added length, and I could have used a size 2 bodice even.
