A page for "Little Bo-Peep"

 

 

Like mother, like daughter?

 

Here is a photograph of my mother in a "little Bo-Peep" costume - this would be in the early twenties.

And here is her daughter (?) also dressed as that character - rather sweet, wouldn't you agree?

And here is another version - this one in the full eighteenth century style fantasy costume, with corsets and panniers!

The bodice and bonnet are made of velvet, the panniers of satin, and the skirts of embroidered chiffon. Sleeves and panniers are lavishly trimmed with lace, and the skirt is also of delicate lace. The dress is worn over corsets and pannier frames, pantaloons, and dainty petticoats.
