This is a dress and hat to represent a Christmas tree. The dress has a 2 tier skirt trimmed with ostrich yarn at the beginning of each tier, and a top tier for the shoulders. The trimmings are sparkly pipe cleaners cut into 4, but beads or anything can be used instead. The hat is the top of the Christmas tree. A pair of panties complete the outfit This pattern is my own design
