Make this delightful Colonial Era outfit, perfect for day-to-day activities and outings.
The main feature of the ensemble is the Caraco Jacket, a popular 1700s garment. Our fully lined design features a laced or “pinned” front closure, ¾ length cuffed sleeves and a full box pleated skirting that gives the outfit a 1700s silhouette. The outfit is completed with a simple petticoat, apron, and lace trimmed cap and fichu.
