and possibly a ruffly-warm jacket too? =]Thanks again!
I would love to make an old-fashioned Christmas Gown. Like the ones you see in Barbie: A Christmas Carol (I know weird reference but its basically perfect for what I want) or the American Girl Samantha’s time period.
It’d be a great side hobby for me, so if you could help that’d be great. I would really like specific answers if you don’t mind, not just like "check your local Micheal’s or something." Where can I find patterns? Are there any free online? If not, any cheap ones? Thanks so much!

The McCalls company has patterns online here:
