ALICE

These two pictures of Alice were drawn by the original illustrator of the 1865 book written by Lewis Carroll, John Tenniel, the character of alice was based on a woman called Alice Liddell, though the pictures are depicted of a different person entirely, through this picture we can see that Tenniel has depicted Alice to be wearing a one length dress with puffy sleeves and an apron with pockets. she is also shown to be wearing little black shoes however because of the lack of colour, we cannot tell wether she is wearing tights or sleeves or socks and we can also not tell what colors her clothes are.

The two images below are illustrations by Charles Pears in 1907. He depicts Alice in two different ways, one as a young blonde girl in a white puffy long sleeved short dress and the other as a brown haired young girl in a blue long sleeved dress with a large collar with a white stripe. she is also drawn to be wearing brown tights with yellow shoes, so far in all the illustrations, alice is always wearing the exact same shoes and is always wearing a dress, however in Tenniel's illustrations she is seen to have long hair and wears a petticoat and in Pears illustrations, its short hair and just a plain dress which almost looks like a night gown.

These two images are screenshots taken from the 1951 animated film version of alice in wonderland. 

In these pictures we can clearly tell that she is a blonde girl with long hair, and is wearing a Blue knee length dress with puffy sleeves and a white apron like John Tenniels illustration, i think that the person who designed Alice, used his illustrations to design this animated alice, however this Alice does not have pockets in her apron and has a bow at the back, whereas in the 1865 version, it looked like the apron was attached to the dress so no need for the bow. we can also see that the shoes are once again exactly the same as all the illustration and that she is wearing white tights.

Lastly, these two images are from the 2010 film version of Alice in Wonderland, directed by Tim Burton. The alice costume in this film was made by the costume designer Colleen Atwood and it is fairly different to the illustrations, its different in the way that there is no apron whatsoever, the dress is just above the floor, there are no white tights and different shoes, i couldn't find a clear picture of her shoes however i do know, from watching the film myself that they are white and black boots. there are a few similarities however, for example, the dress is still blue, a lighter blue though, and it still includes the same sleeves shown on the original illustrations and the later on ones as well.
