Costume designer Jacqueline Durran also discusses Florence Pugh's Parisian fashion, Laura Dern's 'Victorian Hippie' paisley prints and more.
Warning: Spoilers below for those who haven't studied the classic novel, seen any of the many film adaptations or watched the "Friends" episode in which Joey reads the book.
"Laurie, because he's a natural bohemian and the others, because that's how they're being brought up," Durran explains. "It was just all about establishing a different way of looking at Victorian life in a way that's not the one we normally see." After successfully selling her work — albeit while facing pay non-parity — Jo excitedly runs through the Manhattan streets with her checked Victorian skirt flying up to reveal a more emancipated trouser-version of women's bloomers from the period. Durran did take "creative license" in reimagining an authentic pattern of thin cotton undergarments, but in Jo's signature blue and red, instead of traditional white.
Meg For the eldest Meg, who does long for the traditional married-with-children life, Durran looked to retro-romantic Gothic Revival, medieval-referential pre-Raphaelite and Brit William Morris's textile designs for inspiration. The eldest March's palette largely consisted of rich greens and lavenders.
"She's quite just neutral. She doesn't want to be fashionable. She doesn't particularly grow up. She stays pretty child-like, most of the time. She has simple home dresses that aren't really designed for anyone [outside of the house] to see," continues the costume designer, who dressed Beth in soft and soothing pinks and browns.
Durran also admits she "cheated" a bit with the fashion timeline for boho Laurie. "More like 1840s and his adult clothes were late 1880. The earlier [style] made him look younger and more childlike. Then the later period would make him more sophisticated," she says, about refining his flourishes when, during his brief party-bro dilettante phase, he reconnects with Amy in Paris.
