Directed by Greta Gerwig, Little Women made the costume designer Jacquelin Durran now a two-time Oscar winner for the best costume design. In one of her interviews, the designer revealed that she not only wanted to make sure that the costumes would reflect the spirit of the 19th century, but also show who each of the characters was as an individual. One of the interesting things about the costumes in this movie was that the characters shared some pieces of clothing with one another. One of the most prominent examples of this was Jo and Laurie sharing the same gold-colored vest with red spots.
