I'm unaccustomed to making children's clothes.
I am making a sweatshirt for the 5 yo girl who is fostered by my neighbours. I borrowed a t shirt that fits her and the chest measures 22".
I have traced off an age 5 sweatshirt pattern and the finished chest size will be 25". Is 3" sufficient ease for a child? The fabric is standard brushed back cotton jersey with a bit of stretch.
