New Christmas Skirt....Great for twirling!

My very talented Mother Olive whipped up these awesome Christmas skirts in red plaid taffeta.  I think the plaid is "Royal Stewart"??  Circle skirts really float out when twirling around, and what young girl doesn't spin when in a big skirt?  Decided to keep these simple so girls can wear it more casual to school or more dressed up for Christmas Eve church or Christmas Day dinner.  We make in custom sizes.  If no girl in the family?  We can make a plaid Christmas tie for the boys!  Not out of the taffeta, but from another smaller red plaid. 

Cousin Olive is modeling....and Little Olive is already wanting to wear hers.  :-)

 "You spin me right round baby, right round like a record baby, right round, round, round......" Can you name the band?
 Bottom hem is added from a separate piece of material - a nice way to finish the skirt:
