The whole effect suggests an “I just threw this on!” whoopsie daisy aesthetic, though it’s actually thoughtful and extremely expensive

While we get the same hoopskirts and breeches, it’s easy to see that this version of the March sisters’ wardrobes contain various items — jackets, dresses, and hats — that could easily be slipped on today.
The “Anthro” look, as I hate to call it, is tricky to nail. It’s all mixed fabrics and prints; a shawl from your grandmother’s closet paired with a lobster-printed skirt; jackets that look like curtains and socks that look like you knitted them yourself . . Photo: Wilson Webb/CTMG Save for Meryl Streep’s Aunt March, whose dour Havishamian dressing is, in a word, goth, Little Women is full Anthropologie: It’s in the tweed, the pearly buttons, and the puffed-sleeve lace blouses both Jo and Laurie favor .
Photo: Wilson Webb/CTMG It’s in Marmee’s chiffon dresses and their little velvet pussy bows; it’s extremely in the forest-green housecoat with gold piping that Jo throws over her nightgown; it’s in the March girls’ shawls, embroidered with casually exotic prints that seem like they might be a stretch for 1890s Massachusetts.
Photo: Wilson Webb/CTMG That’s not to say the wardrobe is inaccurate. The cast was dressed by veteran costume designer Jacqueline Durran who researched the fashions of the period and drew on images of what artists and radicals were wearing at the time. All I’m saying is that if you saw the movie and feel inspired, Anthropologie is having a sale right now.
