I sewed this up thinking I'd make one because DD would like, but not expecting to like it much myself. Then I saw DD wear it. This might be the cutest shirt I've ever seen! Turns out I like it just as much as she does. The construction is pretty straighforward, though I left the middle ruffle edges raw and coverstitched the middle ruffle on instead of following their directions. The fit is fantastic - I did add a bit of length, more so that it would fit longer than because it was really needed.

The only problem was that DD was quite displeased about now being able to see the ruffles and kept insisting on wearing it backwards, which led to this ruffled extravaganza.
