This is such an adorable pattern and my girls love the pockets! It’s a great way to use up scraps or panels. Really like that it has a top and dress length options.

This pattern is not only fun but a quick sew, well, that is once you’ve decided your fabric placement!! So many options with the pocket feature you have endless ways to piece fabric to make this dress a thousand times over and have a unique and super cute top or dress for your sweet babe. Like all of the SUAT patterns we’ve tried, this one has clear instructions, multiple options and delivers a fabulous finished garment you will be thrilled with!!

My little girl loves pockets so this dress has been a big hit with her! I love that there are no sleeves to attach, which makes it a super fast sew. Another awesome pattern from SUAT!

This is a great wardrobe staple for any girl. It sews up quickly and the pockets add a fun element to even a simple dress.

I love patterns that I can sew together while the kids watch a movie. This one is so fast and easy! And my daughter loves it so much! She already has 3 and has fabric plans for at least 2 more!

I love this pattern! I am an experienced sewist, with much practice using pdf patterns and knit fabrics.
I made the 3t, according to the measurement chart, and it fits very well, skimming the body and laying nicely, without being tight.
I did the pocket and color blocking dress options and was impressed with how well the pieces fit together. The kangaroo pocket is a great size for little treasures!
My only issue with this pattern is the neck band measurements. With quality 4-way stretch cotton/lycra, and proper assembly (finding fourths and stretching carefully), the neck band was too small to lay nicely without bunching. It looks fine modeled, but quite bunchy when flat. Next time I will follow the “.8 x neck opening + seam alliance” formula when cutting the neck band instead, for sure.

Hi Jo! For this pattern, I used 92% plus SA for the neck band. If you find it to be too bunchy then you will definitely not like it at 80%. I have found that 80% isn’t suitable for any neck band, even when sewn at 1/4″ SA. My neck bands are usually between 90% and 94%, depending on the style. Thank you for your review, I’m so glad you love the pattern!

This is such an easy dress (or top) whip up. Easy enough for a beginner. The results are precious. I’m very pleased with this pattern. I will be making these for years to come. thank you

I absolutely adore this pattern. It’s my go to for my girls whenever I have some custom cotton lycra fabric I want to use for them. They absolutely adore the front pocket but also love the dress enough to do without if it doesn’t work with the fabric’s design. I blogged about the dress here: https://www.simplykyra.com/2020/09/16/my-favorite-simple-kids-knit-sewing-pattern-the-magnolia/
