My friend Kimberly mentioned to me that her daughter, my mini-me, needed a colonial outfit for school. I sooooo wanted to make it! I was trying to be nice and not steal the opportunity to make the costume from Kimberly, but oh, how I wanted to make this!!! She graciously agreed to let me do it, and I immediately started shopping for fabric. Even though this is for a kid, and a school thing, I still wanted to go historically accurate. Because that's most of the fun for me. ;) The outfit is made mostly from 100% linen, and the underthings are in a cotton muslin.
