Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend

I only had a size 1/2, but it fit my 2 year old pretty well. I only decreased the seam allowance on the skirt and shirt (increasing the width of the other pieces by the amount decreased from the seam allowance). I also added just a little length. I knew she would never leave the suspenders or buttons alone so I left those off. I also opted to do hidden snaps on the bib.

Would you sew this pattern again?

Yes

Would you recommend this pattern to others?

Yes

Any additional comments

Once again, I decided to handsew the hem, sleeves, and understitch the front collar (think I will go back and understitch the whole collar).

The pattern instructs you to purchase a tie, but I had to self-draft my own.
