Pattern was easy to put together and instructions well done if you have been sewing for a while. I wouldn’t consider it a beginner project. Haven’t completely finished yet so fitting adjustments are next. Would recommend as a great foundation pattern to make additional changes to suit design you are making.

An utter hit with my toddler ballerina—I picked this pattern because I thought it would grow with her better than many others. I’ve made 3 now, backs A and B, all sleeveless, in various performance or metallic knits. In sizes equivalent to 2T and 3T you can squeeze the sleeveless versions out of a quarter of a yard.

I love this pattern. My daughter likes the back with the circle and clip (B). I make this sleeveless. The only problem like a few others have said, the armholes on this style tend to be snug and almost like a cap sleeve. Simple back (A) does not have this problem. The armholes are wider. I've made B sleeveless for a team of 5 girls and 3 complained about the armhole cutting into their armpit. It is a nightmare unpicking the thread and adjusting. However I love this pattern. I just need to get better at adjusting..

I use this as a basic pattern to make adjustments. For Synchronised swimming, I always do it sleeveless, so adjust the armhole to make it a bit bigger. I also raise the leg because they need a higher leg. But I love this pattern because it is so versatile and easy to make changes to . And it always fits perfectly.

I absolutely love this pattern - I have been using it for many years to create leos for our competition trampoline team. I have adjusted it in a few ways to better suit the girls and the design, and it has always fit wonderfully.
