According to my Mum NOBODY in their right mind would allow their child to wear THIS
I would. I like it and I know DD would! I asked my Mum to make it and she actually laughed out loud! 
She said "Who on earth would let their child walk about in THAT!?"
Well actually me! I would! I know it's a bit "dressing up box" but why can't a 5 year old have some fun with her wardrobe? Mum takes ages to knit things as she puts them down a lot....so it would be done for Autumn I expect. She has point blank refused....I told her I'd have to ask MIL then as MIL would knit me a wedding dress if I asked her to though she's not as good as Mum...she will do it whatever she thinks of it.
Anyway...Mum trusts you lot...if I tell her you all say it's ok, then she might do it.
So...be honest...DD would like it and she can skip to the shops/park in it with jeans and boots on.
Yes? Or no?
