Alice In Wonderland Dress
One of the most iconic figures to emerge from the children's literature of the 19th century, and the most instantly recognisable from her attire, is Alice in Wonderland. This is mostly due to the original illustrations of the first edition by John Tenniel and their subsequent repetition with minimal alterations in most published editions and film adaptations ever since. The first color images of Alice were in The Nursery "Alice" (1890), a shortened version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) including 20 of John Tenniel's illustrations from the original book coloured and enlarged (the original itself being illustrated in simple black and white). In this edition, Alice's dress was yellow. However, in Tenniel's early coloured works, her dress was blue, her pinafore white and outlined in red, white stockings, and she was blonde. This has become by far the most popular colour in subsequent illustrations.

Famous quotes containing the word dress:
“I feel no more like a man now than I did in long skirts, unless it be that enjoying more freedom and cutting off the fetters is to be like a man. I suppose in that respect we are more mannish, for we know that in dress, as in all things else, we have been and are slaves, while man in dress and all things else is free.”
—Amelia Bloomer (1818–1894)
