Meet Outfit
Susanna's outfit is meant to represent the romantic dress styles of the 1830s. The era was the beginning of the transition between the Regency and Victorian eras. As Susanna's stories take place in the earlier half of the decade, her collection features top-heavy "leg-of-mutton" sleeves.

Dress
Red striped day dress. Fabric has darker red stripes with floral designs. Fabric crosses in the middle to form a "V" at the waist. Dropped shoulders. Large gigot sleeves, puffed at the top and fitted from the elbow down. Striped waistband. Knife pleated skirt falls just above the ankle. Two "growth tucks" above hem. Velcros at back.

Pantalettes
Lower calf-length white pantalettes. Lace trim on hem. Elastic waist.

Stockings
White over-knee knit socks.

Shoes
Black ballet style flats with ribbons. Ribbons are meant to be on top of the foot and tied behind the ankle. Black soles without heel.

Cap
White "top-knot" shaped cap with raised back, historically to accommodate tall hairstyles. White lace ruffle around edges. White ribbon at corners which tie into a bow under the neck.

Purse
Drawstring needlepointed purse. Multicolored bird design on bottom; red muslin at top. Red ribbon drawstring.

Earrings
Gold posts with agate drop bead.

Trivia

 * Susanna's collection features dresses accurate to her part of the decade as well as dresses from slightly later years. This is for the sake of diversity in her collection as the large mutton sleeves which would have been accurate would have become repetitive in a large collection.
