 LITTLE WOMEN ATELIER

In the 2020s, cottagecore has come into its own as a slower-paced fashion statement taking inspiration from classic eras and literature, bringing some of the most beautiful feminine clothing with it. 

I was on Pinterest one day when I stumbled upon the cutest picture of a girl wearing a ruffled linen apron over a Peter Pan collar dress, I was intrigued and clicked the link to the Etsy shop where I discovered

Little Women Atelier!

I LOVE little women!

The shop turns the fashion from the movies into wearable modern clothing for every day, you could wear these dresses out without anyone batting an eyelid but they still retain the quality of old-fashionedness that lends a timelessness to the pieces, these are clothes made to last through changing fashions. But it is not only about the clothing. On YouTube, the family behind the Little Women atelier also want to promote a slower lifestyle where you take the time to be present at the moment and enjoy life, to admire the beauty of the country, to love the glow of candlelight, to enjoy baking and reading, and all the pleasures of an old-fashioned life. They show how to make cakes and pies, and how to rag curl your hair and more. 

So take the time to check out Little Women Atelier, and see if it's for you...

Anne of Green Gables Book vs 1980s Miniseries: The Wincey Dress

  Anne's wincey dress: A comparison. Book: when we first meet the well-loved red-headed heroine is wearing                          “very short, very tight, very ugly dress of yellowish-white wincey”  W incey is a fabric originating in the British isles made of a twill weave with a linen warp and a woollen weft. It was a coarse and scratchy fabric that would definitely make you "wincey" a bit!                          This petticoat (probably from the Victorian Era) is labelled as being made of wincey or Lindsey- woolsey (the alternate name for it). This too is a yellowish colour it may even have begun the same colour as Anne's (yellowish-white) and yellowed with age!   Put your Anneish imaginations to work and imagine this fabric as a dress, a short tight and ugly dress and there you have it! Anne's dress. So using this information, how does the film compare? So in the film it's important to know the key things the designer might have had to take into account

Sense and Sensibility: A Review

Image
  The first of Jane Austen's novels to be published, (1811), Sense and Sensibility is a masterpiece that has thrilled readers for over 200 years. It was adapted for screen in the 90s by Miramax studios and again in 2008 by the BBC. The novel itself, when I first read it, was a sheer delight. I particularly recollect the highlight of a cliffhanger at the end of one chapter that kept me hooked, spurring me on to the next. I would definitely recommend Sense and Sensibility for Jane Austen fans, who require a taste of her unbeatable characterisation, the incorporation of themes that the entire novel revolves around. Let's dive into these a little more deeply... Austen's skills shine in this novel, most splendidly. Not only does she present two most lovable and admirable heroines, but she provides them with husbands, building the tension and excitement gradually throughout the plot, until the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne are happily settled in matrimony, upon closing th

Little Women 2019 and 1990s movies vs reality: Meg March

      W hilst the new 2019 L ittle W omen was an interesting film ,  fresh and new with a whole different style to any other version of the beloved tale we have seen before…   one finds oneself dist r acted by the strange decisions of the director to A. have the timeline completely out of wack and B. to have the costume design so that one would hardly know what era it was in if not for a me n tions of the war and knowledge of the book that keep it in place. B ut I am here for the costumes...    A nyway ,  let us start with this picture and specifically M eg, the oldest sister and the one who wants to "fit in"(quote M ichara T ewers) .   T he first thing you notice is her big neon green scarf  -  wow ,  you think how is that historically accurate ?   B ut sorry to say it IS in fact an ava i l a ble dye in this time period …  but characteristically it makes no sense .   A lthough the designers wanted green and purple to be Meg's colours so to speak ,   I think from the book
