Victorian Alice: Dress Up Game for Girls
Victorian Alice is a historical dress up game with a simple, clever idea. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland came out in 1865, in England, right in the middle of the Victorian era. So why not dress Alice the way a real girl of her time would have dressed?
Alice, but historical
Most Alice costumes are the blue dress and white apron. This game goes further back, to the clothes Lewis Carroll's readers actually wore. That means fuller skirts, fitted bodices, lace, ribbons and bonnets, all pieces of the Victorian wardrobe.
Gowns and skirts
The skirts are the main event. Long, layered and wide, they set the whole silhouette. Pick a soft pastel for a sweet Alice or a darker color for a more serious, grown up look.
Corsets and bodices
Fitted tops give her that 1860s shape. Combine them with puffed sleeves or keep the line clean.
Bonnets and details
A bonnet, a bit of lace at the collar, a ribbon in her hair. Small details are what make the outfit feel like the real era and not just a costume.
Telling a story with clothes
Is she on her way to the Mad Hatter's tea party? Wandering through a strange forest? Sitting in a Victorian parlor before she follows the White Rabbit? Decide where she is and dress her for it.
