@bygonewardrobes: Should I add a little jacket? And what color? 🤍🤎🩶🖤💙 . Even if Amy has been my main goal in this Little Wonen costuming project, when I set out to make this waistcoat it immediately had Jo written all over it. Jo was, in a way, L.M. Alcotts alter ego: independent and pursuing careers that were deemed more masculine at the time. And: in the book, the years* c. 1863-1865 are kind of skipped over, so it was the perfect opportunity to dress Jo in my own way. . (*There are differing interpretations of the years things take place in the book) . . .
