This review is very timely!! Just about an hour ago I was thinking about this pattern as I was driving around, and I was wishing it came in smaller sizes. My DD could use a size 98 and I may try to size it down too. Your review will be helpful to me when I get ready to make this. Your daughter looks adorable in her leotard!

How can our little girls be so cute! Mine is 28 now, 5 was a while ago. The leotard is perfect, what fun fabric. I think it looks very well made, nice job. I used to make leotards as a home business when the kids were young and I seem to remember that the cotton lycra resisted gathering with sewn on elastic more than the nylon lycra type fabrics. I wonder if anyone else has had that experience? It would explain some of the elastic problems you encountered.

Excellent leotard! I'm definately coming back to this review if I ever make my DD one of these!

You did a wonderful job with this leotard. It is really cute. I recently subscribed to Ottobre and have this issue. I know I will be trying this one too. Thank you for getting with it and putting up a review so soon after this issue came out. I appreciate all your pointers!

She looks so cute in her new leotard. A gorgeous print and the gathered sleeves are so sweet.

This is soo cute--I love the bright fabric. My 6 yo dd keeps seeing the pictures and wants that little girl to come play "dress up." Darling girl!

Beautiful job on the leotard. I'm impressed with grading down 2 sizes! DD looks very pleased.

Boy, are you fast!! Thanks for the review! I stopped my children's subscription and ordered the OW. I have been thinking about subscribing again because of this leotard! Your reveiw was great! Your little girl is just a tiny bit smaller than mine, so it was nice to hear that you can easily grade down!
