We had a great time at the farm, so I apologize in advance for the large quantity of photos. I hope they help you make a decision.

Upon my first read through, I noticed a few important things about this pattern.

#1 is that the front and back pattern pieces are identical. Without sewing it, I'm dubious to believe that the fit on this will be right. But I'm willing to try anything once. The big advantage to the identical front and back is that my pattern printed up with only 8 sheets of paper. That is definitely a win. With 3 girls to sew for, I'll be sewing up a knit, fleece and really firm knit version in 3 different sizes, 3, 5 and 7.

#2 is that all seam allowances are 1/4". That seam allowance just doesn't work for me, especially with thicker fabrics like fleece. For simplicity, I have added 1/4" to the seam allowances so I would better be able to handle the finishing of the seams. This was really easy because of the raglan sleeves.

#3 is that the placket is the same piece for all sizes. That means there's no variation for scale for the smaller sizes. That will change the look of the dress depending on size. That isn't a bad thing, just an observation.

Ok, so I know I said I was all done with plackets, but I really liked the simple lines of this dress, so more plackets it is. I actually found the instructions for the placket on this pattern a bit confusing. Thankfully I've sewn up every kind of placket out there. Only 1 of the 3 is sewn as the pattern describes (the knit in size 5). The other 2 were sewn up with 2 different placket variations.

So variation #1 is the size 3 on a 3 yo. This is a knit from Purple Seamstress. the knit is actually only a knit in name. It has nearly zero stretch. That made it great for this pattern because it is suitable for wovens. I added in a ruffle around the neckline and did the dress length. She really loves it and is definitely both comfortable and cute.
