You MUST give it a go! You’re right, the details are FABULOUS! As a general rule, we need to size down and add length (we sewed a 6, and she is 7.5 years old), but compare their measurements to the measurement chart. We have found that even though our niece measures more than one size smaller, she often needs the width through her shoulders.

I’ve only sewn one of them, but I think this is my favorite Oliver+S pattern! I really like the button and trim!

This is beautiful! I love this pattern and this is my favorite of all your renditions, as the solid fabric and accents really show the lovely lines and details of the pattern. I have balked at sewing this for my granddaughters, but you’ve convinced me to go for it! Is the sizing a bit larger than many patterns? My girls are 9 but skinny, and I usually have to go down in sizing width. The button is perfect! I’ve built whole outfits around buttons :). Thank you for sharing!
