At last I was able to get a modelled shot by my little miss, today being the first time she has worn it.
I have to say this is very true to size - if anything I might have made it a tiny bit longer, but as I've mentioned before, my girls have inherited their height from their 6ft 5inch tall dad - so length is generally an issue.
(Also I have found that US patterns tend to run short compared to Aussie ones, anyone else think this is the case??)
I made a size four and am really happy with the fit.
Miss L is tall for her age but a bit of a skinny little thing other than that.

The beauty of this top is that it is actually very wide without the Obi-style belt, the belt pulls it in to size.
Therefore it will fit different frame sizes simply by tightening the sash.
It was comfortable for her to run around the park in, the sash didn't slip or bulge or restrict her movement at all and she loved the wide sleeves (she kept making one hand 'disappear' up the other sleeve, magic!).
I hadn't put it on her til now, as this is not how I want her to wear it - I don't like mixing denim tones!
But I haven't had a chance to make a co-ordinating skirt/pants yet, and am still undecided as to what to make.
So help me out - what would you do?
Dark denim skirt with Red spotted bias trim edge?
Dark denim and/or red spotted straight skirt?
Dark denim and red spots tiered skirt, like this one from Grand Revival?
Red cord pants/skirt??
Dark demin pants with red spot detail.
