JEF said... Great info. How did your son's measurements compare to the size 3 measurements? My daughter is the same size as your son (she's 10) and I routinely make her patterns in sizes 5 and 6 based on her measurements. 8/3/09 10:54 PM
TanyaMT said... JEF, he is skinny but not as skinny as the sz 3 measurements would indicate (even though the measurements given on the flap are indeed huge for a 3yo). So even if you went by measurement guidelines they would be too big, especially length actually. 8/3/09 11:13 PM

Peggy L said... Glad he likes them! They do look like comfy pj's. Sounds like that pattern will "fit" him for a long, long time! 8/4/09 10:50 AM

SueV said... i find sizing an issue with most kid patterns. I generally make a much smaller size than what they would purchase in RTW. 8/4/09 1:12 PM
TanyaMT said... SueV, very true, but this one is outlandish. I would assume because it is an older 80's ish type of pattern, when even RTW ease was pretty huge. I'm also spoiled by Burda and Ottobre to be honest, which run truer to size. 8/4/09 5:29 PM
