Dress, 1902-03 France, the Met Museum
Josephine "Jo" Bhaer (née March) is the second oldest March sister. She is seen as the protagonist of Little Women. Josephine was a reckless, daring child. She used slang and ruffles up her clothes (which were a great trial to her, especially when she grew old enough to wear long skirts). Josephine loved to read, and would spend hours doing so, reading books such as The Heir of Radcliffe. The attic at Orchard House was a favourite haunt of hers. She had a desk where she could be found when in a

In 2015 I had less than a week to make a gown for the Saturday night gala, so it had to be something simple, fast and straight forward. I decided to make a Victorian court presentation gown after one of Worth's gowns. Truly Victorian had just come up with a perfect skirt pattern that I was happy to use to save time on guess work. I only lengthened the train a little. The bodice pattern is my own. It's made of duchess silk satin. The skirt and train are faced and the bodice lined with glazed cotton. The trim is silk tulle that was originally soft but was starched stiff, pleated and sequinned. It's worn over a lobster style bustle and two petticoats. I found Kat's research for presentation accessories very helpful. The inspiration
This beautiful evening dress is French and dates to 1865. It is a fantastic example of how the hoop skirt began to evolve into the bustle in the late 1860s.

While these dyes could produce an amazing range of colours, there were still some colours that couldn’t be produced by natural means, and some of the colours that could be produced by natural means were inclined to run, fade, or to destroy the very fabrics they dyed. Then, in 1856 William Henry Perkin, a young chemistry student, working at home, after hours, in a makeshift laboratory, trying to create a chemically identical artificial version of quinine (a very valuable plant-based drug which was used to treat malaria), thought to experiment with the results of another failed attempt. The result of his experiment on his experiment was mauveine (also known as Perkin’s mauve, aniline purple, harmaline,Tyrian purple, plain old mauve, and, if you want to be extremely technical, 3-amino-2, ±9-dimethyl-5-phenyl-7-(p-tolylamino)phenazinium acetate). Mauveine was a combination of aniline (a common extract of coal tar) and other compounds which …
