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!

      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
