Plaid for Caroline
The first piece in my Christmas collection is a regency style dress for Caroline.
Using the plaid fabric, I cut out a square neck empire waist bodice. The sleeves were cut out using American Girl Josephina's Christmas dress pattern. Then I just measured out the skirt to get the right look.
Three bands of red cording were sewn around the hem of the skirt and the hem of each sleeve.
The empire waist is accented with a red ribbon.
Caroline plans to accent the look with a plaid band in her hair, which she is piling on top of her head. She is adding a red velvet ribbon choker necklace and black shoes.

Plaid for Christmas
Earlier this year, I was inspired online by a picture from a museum in Scotland of three historical garments made from the same plaid.
So for my Christmas collection this year, I decided to get a few yards of a red and green plaid. Each garment in the collection will be made from the same fabric, but will represent a different clothing era.
The collection is still in the early development stages, but watch for a dress from the 1810s, the 1850s, the early 1900s and possibly even the 1970s.
The goal is to have each of my models representing a different era in their Christmas plaid.
