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.
