It's so cute on the baby! Are you going to show us what it looks like on a bigger girl as a vest?

Thanks for the question, Megan. I should have explained what I meant better. If you crochet the pattern as is, it will be a dress in length. Then next year you can crochet a new collar and replace it with the old one on the jumper, and it becomes a vest. I do not have another sample made. I am going to wait till CJ grows out of this one I made, and switch out the collar for her next fall to make it into a vest.
