My darling Clementine's Christmas outfit arrived this weekend and I couldn't wait to share it with her.
Doesn't she look divine?
She, of course, is thrilled to wear a tartan like me.
Of course.
Just please don't make the common mistake of calling this a plaid dress. 
A tartan
 is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands 
in multiple colors. Tartans were originally made of colored, woven wool, but 
now they are made in many other materials including taffeta (my skirt) or satin (Clementine's skirt and jacket). 
A plaid  is a pleated cloth worn with a kilt, made from the same tartan and worn over the shoulder and fastened at the front.
