Costume Commentary

  1. Virginia Gregg as Hannah wears this costume in the same version of Little Women. I think there was a little costume-sharing on this production. Perhaps they hoped viewers wouldn’t notice? Hannah wears this dress in two scenes (when Aunt March comes to Orchard House before Marmee leaves for Washington, and for Meg’s wedding); Meg wears it for the proposal scene (which occurs between Hannah’s two scenes wearing it). Incidentally, I was excited to see the credits listed Edith Head as costume designer.

    P.S. You can watch this version on free Hulu.
