The reindeer outfit is sized for porch geese of 17, 23 and 27 inches: Small, Standard and Large. It is an intermediate project that takes about 4 h, in 14 steps. For a 23 in goose you need ⅝ yd of brown fabric and ¼ yd of cream cotton for the band. You will practice gathering a skirt, setting in puffy sleeves and binding the neckline with ties.

The reindeer outfit is a brown dress with a cream band at the skirt hem and a lined cap with two soft antlers. The antlers are made in their own step and go on the cap last. Unlike the elf outfit, it has no collar: the neck is simply bound with tape and ties.

Good for: Christmas and winter porch displays (more in Christmas goose outfits).
