KELSEY PLATE
New Fairfield, CT 

For Kelsey's Gold Award project, she sewed two period-style dresses and a cape reflecting the early 1800's, to be used by a local historical society, Preserve New Fairfield Inc., for events such as the Cemetery Tour and parades throughout the year.  Kelsey used materials reflective of the 1800's to appropriately reflect the time period, yet withstand use today throughout the community.  Kelsey is a graduate of New Fairfield High School and her project inspired her for a potential career in fashion.
