Anne Shirley’s Costume

This ensemble reflects Anne’s humble origins and vulnerability, and would have been suitable for working on the Cuthbert farm during fall and winter. Over time, Anne’s confidence grew. As she became a more integral part of the community of Avonlea, her wardrobe expanded, including the addition of fancier dresses for special occasions.
