Easy pattern using the sleeved version, but I found the sleeveless version had some issues adjusting the armhole size. I'm an experienced seamstress so I was able to adapt, but a beginner may have some issues. I made this for a size 5. I also added a little cut closer to the waist to shape it, granddaughter is very slim. A friend who made the same pattern added an elastic around the waist so she didn't think it looked "sleazy." Works well both ways.
