Olivia's accessories

10/14/2011

As promised, here are Olivia's accessories: practical work shoes (brown, but probably blacked for mourning, though the dye is fading), a black silk kerchief in lieu of a veil, and a lace bib/collar for Sundays. It's likely she wore a black collar for the first year of her mourning. Also, an apron. She's carrying a bottle of medicine concocted primarily of digitalis and a spoon. The medicine is for Emmaline Hunter, who has a damaged heart. Digitalis was one of very few medicines available on the cusp of huge medical breakthroughs due to the vast sea of misery caused by the imminent war.

We won't see Olivia again for a while, so this is it for her for the time being, but she will have new outfits when we return to her in the story.

It occurs to me that until I get the gallery in order (hopefully this weekend), I should link back to the paper dolls so that they can be easily found (especially since they are falling off this front page at this point and since not all of them will have tags at the side to narrow down the search).  So, to find the Olivia paper doll, click here!
