To look at the appropriate costumes that the characters of the book would wear during the time period of the book I went to the Castle Museum. They have a collection of women's fashion on show and I looked at the appropriate styles from the early 19th century to early 20th century and took some photographs of the fashions and some drawings to get a feel of the shape and flow of the dresses on paper.
Childrens dress, 1880
Lady's overcoat
Cotton dress, 1815-18
I found it really interesting to see how the fashions and styles have changed and some of the dresses have fantastic structure and shape to them.
