I ordered this outfit for my 14 month old to wear to his father's Marine Corps retirement ceremony in November. I was very excited to get it so quickly as we live overseas, but not as excited to find the size runs somewhat small.
My little guy is smaller for his age and is just starting to fit into 12 month clothing. I assumed by purchasing the 18 month outfit it would give him some growing room to catch up on. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that will happen but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

The material is a little thinner than I anticipated. It will be fine for our sub tropical climate but I wouldn't recommend it for fall/winter months back in the states. The material of the knickers and cap is similar to the thin suiting cloth you find at a local fabric store. The shirt material also is thin that is 65% polyester and 35% cotton. The only washing instructions are located on the shirt stating machine washable and tumble dry low. Apparently this goes for the knickers and cap also.

The suspenders included are sub par though. They are a very thin and cheaply purchasable jacquard ribbon. They snag very easily on the hardware pulling the threads. That can be fixed for a short time by taking a sewing needle and pulling the thread back through. After a while it will no longer work and you might have to replace them with a heavier gauge suspender or ribbon.

I took some measurements of the outfit to try and help others out before they purchase.

Shirt: (from back neckline to back hemline)
12 inches
Neck:
10 inches
Arm: (from shoulder seam to cuff end)
9.5 inches

Knickers:
Waist:
16 inches (at rest)
20 inches (at full extension)
Leg: (from waist line to cuff end)
12 inches
Leg Cuff:
8 inches

Cap:
18 inches (at rest)
20 inches (at full extension)

Bowtie:
3.5 inches in length
2 inches in width

I hope this helps any others that are looking to purchase this outfit.

Please keep in mind that I am giving this item 4 out of 5 stars only for the above stated reasons. I still love seeing my little guy in it and I'm looking forward to seeing him stand next to his dad in November!

This outfit is super cute! My grandson looks great in it. It does fit quite small, but I knew that ahead of time from reading previous reviews. My grandson is small and currently wears a 24 month or 2T, but after reading reviews & seeing that it ran really small, I ordered a 3T and it fits quite well! The sleeves are just a little bit long, but not bad, and other than that it fits really well with a little room so he can wear it now and for awhile. There's no way the 2T would've worked for him. I would recommend that you buy At Least one size up. - Really nice outfit, cute suspenders, hat and bowtie. Seems like real good quality, too! Very pleased!

Let me start off by saying, just like it's advertised and pretty much the rest of the reviewers, that this was purchased as more of a "costume" rather than actual clothes, for this purpose this outfit fit the bill. I wasn't expecting it to be something he'd be able to wear forever. We used this for my sons 12 month "pro" photo shoot and the outfit turned out fantastic. I don't recommend leaving it on for extended periods of time however, my son is pretty active and he managed to bust the bow tie and one of the suspender clasps within a few hours.

Pros:
Cute outfit that worked out beautifully for photos

Cons:
The suspenders were very cheap, the material snagged on everything, fingernails, toys, other clothes and it left pulls be careful there.
The suspender clasps had to be tightened when we got the outfit from the git
The clasps eventually broke
The bowtie eventually broke

I just got this outfit for my 17 month old son in size 3T and it is adorable. He is 50th percentile in weight and 75th percentile in height and typically he wears 18 month size clothing. I debated for quite awhile on what size to get him, but decided I would rather it be a bit big than a bit small, especially since the event he will be wearing this for is not for another 2 months, though I tried it on him today. The 2T would probably have fit him perfectly now without much growing room. The 3T is a bit big on him but is small enough that he can wear it now with some room to grow, so I am definitely glad that I got the size that I did. It fits him like most 24 m or 2T clothing. The pants are a bit loose around the waist, but are tight enough that they stay up without the suspenders, considering he can still wear 12 m size pants, I am guessing this outfit would be a bit tight on a chunkier child. The arms on the shirt are just slightly too long.

The fit was only as expected because I read other reviews. The item def runs small I would go up at minimum a size if you order. My 7 mth old fits 12 mth old clothing fairly well but they are snug in the waist. So to be safe I ordered 24 mth. It's for him to wear to a family wedding in a couple weeks. It fits pretty well. Can't get the bow tie to stay on the shirt because the top button on the shirt makes the collar too tight on my sons neck. Another reviewer mentioned the suspenders being cheap, I don't think so, they are a little flimsy but it's for infants so I don't expect anything heavy duty. Overall, good outfit, the pants have some snags and collar fit doesn't seem proportional (seems small).
