My favorite part of this outfit and the one thing I'd love to come back to again is the skirt. To revisit this outfit I would like better accessories for it as it is a good bit of effort and I wasn't as pleased with the outcome as I'd hoped.
The only item other than the skirt that did not require a 1.25mm hook was the hat which again was the 1.8mm.
Skirt:
The skirt was a somewhat challenging fit at the waist. I did the first two rows switching to a 1.8 mm hook for the rest of the skirt. Once past the initial waist area a B hook was far to large but the skirt would not have fit without starting with the larger hook to establish a wider waist.
This outfit was made with size 10 crochet thread.
Bib:
I'd actually try adapting Ken's bib to Barbie if I made this again. The mock turtleneck looks nice but it doesn't connect well in the back and makes for a bulky join.
Jacket:
This version of the jacket does add the arms as you go but I had to play with the stitches a bit avoid sewing the arms together at the end.
