For the money this is a worthy offering. As a seamstress I was disappointed when I saw the construction of the vest and bow tie - it was done quickly and they are not easily passed on to another child.

All in all, the time I would take to do this myself was more valuable than the price of this set. This is a lovely set that I like to use for special occasions (Christmas, Easter etc) but I wouldn't use it for a formal occasion like a wedding. The pants felt a bit long
