Make this delightful Victorian Coat and Bonnet ensemble that is sure to fill you with some Charles Dickens inspired Christmas spirit! This delightful Keepers Dolly Duds pattern is a long-time holiday favorite. The fully lined coat is topped with a nicely tailored removable Pelerine that wraps around the for extra warmth and protection from the elements as well as a bit of subtle elegance. The full length coat buttons down the front and flares out from the waist and the wide sleeves to make room for the wide Victorian style skirts and bell shaped sleeves. The fully lined bonnet exudes a simple elegance with an inner ruffle and tailored bow that frames the face and echos the trim that traces the outlines of the coat and sleeves.
