Modern-Day Fashion Inspired by Greta Gerwig's 'Little Women' Redux

by

In honor of the new movie version of Louisa May Alcott's classic, Little Women—in theaters December 25 and starring Emma Watson and Timothée Chalamet (!)—we've hunted down the best in prairie dresses, doily collars, and vintage-inspired accessories, so that you too can look like Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy March. The sisters were ahead of their time in so many ways.
