Black & White Plaid Holiday Dress

I’m so excited about Natalie’s holiday dress this year!

Black and White Plaid Holiday Dress // Delia CreatesIt’s black and white.

It’s made from the Five and Ten Designs Volume One, dress e-book. (We are having a Black Friday sale by the way! Scroll to the bottom for details. )

I love the look of the basic dress, so I stuck to the basic and added long sleeves (the dress book comes with a bonus sleeve pattern). I also wanted to keep the design simple since the print is so bold. The only change I made, was to add more volume to the skirt, because I’m a sucker for twirly dresses and I had enough extra fabric.

To add a little color to her ensemble, I made her a shawl cardigan in red. It’s Look Two in the Five and Ten Designs Volume Two, jacket e-book, designed by the lovely Jessica Christian.

My favorite thing about the shawl cardigan is how it looks almost blazer like, but drapes like a cardigan.

It’s completely lined, so it’s warm and cozy. It’s really a great piece that can work well through Fall, Winter, and Spring.

Black and White Plaid Holiday Dress // Delia CreatesI made both the dress and cardigan on the larger side, so she can get a lot of wear out of them. I am hopeful they will last through until Spring! If she keeps growing the way she has though….I bet the skirt will be too short by Valentine’s Day.

Her scarf is from a free pattern I shared HERE. I originally made it as a test scarf for another one I was going to make for this outfit, but the gray ended up working out perfectly!

Black and White Plaid Holiday Dress // Delia CreatesAs for her belt…it’s the proto-type of an upcoming DIY that I am so excited to share with you. It won’t be ready for a couple weeks, but it will be worth the wait. Pinky promise.

    Ooooh, that holiday dress is just lovely!!! Not the ‘standard, typical Christmas attire’ that one sees everywhere, making it extra special :).

    Well this is just too cute! If I wasn’t already knee deep in holiday sewing I would scrap my plans and go with big check plaid. I love the whole look and I can’t wait for the belt tutorial since I really love that belt!

    That dress is adorable all by itself, but with all the accessories…. I love it! The outfit is perfectly girly and wintry, and a little bit vintage-y too. =)
