I recently gave a presentation on historical clothing at the Farmer's Branch Historical Park Celebrating Spring with Laura Ingalls Wilder event. I decided to create A Caroline Ingalls Costume to wear to the event. A Caroline Ingalls Costume I would like to clarify that the costume I made was not for this Caroline Ingalls. Caroline Lake Quiner Ingalls (1839-1924) was an amazing woman in her own right as well as being the mother of Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the Little ... View the Post
