Jane Eyre Costume



"All my confidence is bestowed on him, all his confidence is devoted to me;
we are precisely suited in character--perfect concord is the result." ~ Jane Eyre

The first time I read Charlotte Bronte's novel Jane Eyre, I was captivated. The book remains one of my favorites, I've read it so many times. The story is challenging, inspiring, and a little dark. While Charlotte never mentions a green outfit in the book, the color green is a reoccurring motif associated with newness and life. These photos remind me of Jane Eyre.

The made this bonnet from straw hat, remnant materials, and a soft filmy scarf. Each rose bud and the larger rose are hand made. I sold this bonnet on in the Etsy Store.
