Very easy to put together! Perfect sizing actually, it fit both girls straight off the pattern! Perfect length, width and sleeve length. The pattern did call for lastin to gather the edge of the ruffle, but I just ruffled it as I basted it down as the ruffle was not that full. I am pretty sure the design example had 3 snaps on the placket, but I used 2 because it seemed like enough. Will def. make again!
