About the Costume

This delightful dress was used twice in the 1994 adaptation of Little Women. It is a great example of intentional reuse in order to show that the March sisters wear one another’s hand-me-downs. Trini Alvarado first wore it as the oldest sister, Meg. In the second half of the film, it appears on Samantha Mathis as the youngest sister, Amy.

Costume Commentary

  1. This happens also with Beth and Jo. The red plaid dress worn by Jo to the Ball where she first meets Laurie is worn by Beth at Christmas when she receives the piano from Mr. Lawrence

  2. It also shows the character of the daughters, and perhaps the slight rise of the family’s fortune, as Amy wears as an everyday dress what was once Meg’s very best dress.
