Right. I'm putting this to you lot....AIBU to want this item of clothing for DD??

[NeoMaxiZoomDweebie]

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?

I am so going to make this for my niecelings, though my dd aged 10 would probably love it too.

I want one in a dusty blue for DS

I agree with your mother...

NannyOgg I will tell my Mum she had one supporter...also a Grandmother!

It's the boots and red cape and messy hair that make it seem so eccentric. Whether your DD would suit that colour I have no idea. And I have no idea what sort of area you live in.

But it looks fine.

I LOVE that! And nearly 4 year old DD would love it too!

It's lovely

11 year old DD just said that she would wear it!

Dd is 8 and would love it.

Tbh, so would the ds's!

I like it. I suspect my 5 year old wouldn't be seen dead in it though.

If dd wasn't 12yo I'd put an order in!

I think your Mum doesn't like it because it's something they used to wear in the "olden days"

Oh no it's brilliant! She would look beautiful and girly. I'd much rather see a child wearing that than some hideous velour/chiffon princess tat outfit.

NeoMaxiZoomDweebie - we grannies have to stick together sometimes!

And angelsonhigh I wouldn't have been seen dead in it in the olden times either!!

Nor would my Mum NannyOgg.... She was pleased another granny had been of the same mind as her!

I hate it.

I'm not a nanny either. Good for a dressing up box but not to be seen out in.

Its beautiful! My dd1 (who is now ten) had a red hooded poncho when she was 2. She wore it, a lot, until she was about 5. Now it has passed down to dd2 who is now 3 and loves it. It was a designer piece and cost quite a bit but was worth every penny. It keeps them warm, looks cute and washes exceptionally well.

I love it!

I've sent the link to my mum and told her that dd needs nana to make it for her, and she's said that she will, I can't wait for her to make it, hope dd loves it as much as I do

My 6 yo would love that, and actually so would her 27 yo sister . I wish I could knit. Mmmmmuuuuuummmmm!

Love it.

I am going to see if MIL might knit it for DD who'll be 3 in August.

My dd would love that At 15 - poss blck not read. Send me the pattern and I'll start it x

If I start now,I'll probably have it ready for DGD at Christmas.It's lovely.

My son would love this in somewhat more wizardy colours:o

DS has one

It's massive on him (he's 8mo), but we used it to go over his christening gown. I do occasionally catch DH using it to pretend to be a ghost!

I would love one for myself!!
