dailylittlewomen: March sisters + hand-me-down dressesAn interesting costuming decision in the 1994 adaptation of Little Women was having the younger March sisters wear the elder sisters’ old dresses. At the Christmas party after her recovery from scarlet fever, Beth wears Jo’s red dress which she wore to the Gardiners’ New Years’ party a year prior. Years later, teenage Amy is seen wearing Meg’s old blue dress which she wore to Sallie Moffat’s coming out party. Considering that the Marches lived in genteel poverty, it was unlikely that they could afford new clothes for all four children, so it would make sense that the younger sisters wore hand-me-downs. The choices also reflect the sisters’ bond: Beth is closer to Jo, while Amy is closer to Meg. -- source link
