When my son was around 2 years old, I bought a size 4T so he could wear it loosely. The sleeves were long, so I folded them up, and the length was just about covering his bottom! It was a favorite and I dressed him in it often, so the fluffy feel of the boa from the armpits to the sleeves is gone, but there are no other stains. The brown checker pattern and bear ear hood are so cute, and I often got compliments when he wore it! ♡ The lining and zipper are sturdy, so I think it can still be used for a while!
