My 3 year old plays HARD so I like to keep her in overalls, but she's also potty training. This overall skirt is perfect because she can play (it has a hint of stretch) but she doesn't have to fiddle with the straps when it's time to sit on the potty. The corduroy is nice and warm. It looks kind of fancy, but it's very practical for everyday wear and it washes well. I love it, and so does she. It runs a tiny bit big, so she might be wearing it next fall, too.
