Bucilla"White Christmas" Felt Christmas Stocking Kit - 18" OOP Factory Direct Authentic 2006 not the 2011 Replica or Second Now is a great time to get started on your stockings for next Christmas or gifts throughout the year. This is the real "White Christmas" which was produced in 2006 and it is white and gold only. It doesn't contain any of the blue or cream colors like the 2011 Plaid reproductions that were outsourced or the knockoffs by others, that sell for less than $50.00-$70. This is a stunning gold stocking that would go well with the clear lights at Christmas. The fabric and floss is superior. It is one of the more decorative designs using only white and gold. Even white poinsettias on this white stocking stand out because of the stitching and outline of the metallic thread and the beading. The white sequins and beading as well as the metallic thread gives a very elegant Victorian style appearance to this "Olde World Santa". It is beautifully designed in the white and gold. The original Bucilla felts are much thicker and are "washable" if necessary. The colors do not bleed. All of the reproductions and knockoffs have trouble with bleeding, felts tearing when stuffed, sequins flaking, and not all of the beads have holes in them. This kit was fully produced in the USA and not outsourced to India, France and China. Please note that the authentic "White Christmas" stocking doesn't have any blue on it. All components are gold and white. You can tell the difference by the side of the package. There is a red label, with the Plaid information, on the left side of the kit. They have duplicated some of the other authentic best sellers extremely cheap. I honestly don't see how this stocking can be copied at such a cheap price without the appearance to the stocking suffering. If you want a truly gold and white stocking, it is only on the original, authentic "White Christmas". The changes may not matter to you but that is the reason the difference in the cost. Please don't confuse mine with the cheaper kit. This is an authentic Bucilla "White Christmas" stocking kit. It does not have the red left side panel as the "reproductions". Some that are selling the 2011 knockoffs have cropped it down and even though you can't see the red panel, you can see that it is hanging from a mantle. Authentic kits do not have the red panel or hang from the mantle. There are several of the discontinued designs that have been reproduced and are reproductions. This stocking kit, designed by Maria Stanzani in 2006, is 18 inches in length diagonally when completed.
