Here is a cloak I designed after researching little girls' styles in the Antebellum and War Between the States years. Little Red Riding Hood was becoming a well-known children's story at this time, and created a rage for red cloaks.

Isn't she sweet? The hood is lined in blue silk, and the cape with muslin. It is fastened with the combination of a classic frog closure and a ribbon.
