Re: Jill Pole
I think those are lovely buttons. Flowers and or leaves would be a very dryad-like addition. What colors were you thinking of using for the embroidery? Shades of green?

Re: Jill Pole
Thanks Meltintalle, I was thinking shades of green and brown. I'd love to make some more and I have some ideas for a Nightdress for Harfang and that sort of thing.

Re: Jill Pole
Ooh, I forgot about her sleeping and Harfang and thus needing a nightdress! Sounds very pretty!

Re: Jill Pole
I think most of Jill's clothes should be simplistic. I mean, the Narnians wouldn't give Jill a dress fit for a queen, just something they had that they thought would fit her. The Harfang dress would be bulky and awkward (being made by a giant for a human), but pretty elaborate.

Re: Jill Pole
^Good points. Harfang seems like it will be pretty on Jill but almost too fussy and a relief to get out of- especially after one has come up from the dirty underground and has the chance to change into a clean, fresh Narnia dress.

Re: Jill Pole
Dove Wings on Polyvore made a set for Jill's uniform. So I thought I'd post it!

Re: Jill Pole
I just finished reading the thread, and I really like most of the ideas and drawings! I'd really like to see Jill have some more Narnian dresses, but I also don't want her to be too much like Lucy or Susan. More of a new Narnia style, if you know what I mean...
And then, as far as the uniform goes, I'm DoveWings on Polyvore, so that's taken care of.

Re: Jill Pole
I don't see shorts as being acceptable for school girls back in the early 40's. I could be wrong though.

Well, it was a co-ed school, which might have made them more likely to wear shorts. Also, I thought it said somewhere that she wore shorts. But I could be wrong.... hang on, I'll check and see.... Yeah, it does. Chapter four, paragraph 6:
She changed back into sweater and shorts-- there was guide's knife on the belt of the shorts that might come in handy
But they're just as likely to change that for the movie as to keep it.

Re: Jill Pole
OK!
I have been thinking about Jill's costumes ALOT
I personally think that:
School Uniform:
- White, rounded collar blouse
- Grey Jumper/ Cardigan with buttons up to collar (Would be open in Narnia, buttoned in England)
- Grey skirt to just above the knee
- white socks and brown/ black short boots
The only color of Narnian dresses that havent been done are Red and Yellow.... Thoughts?

Re: Jill Pole
Girls in the summer certainly wore shorts in the 1950s. Photos of my mum as a young lady showed shorts worn for summer leisure.
I think the shorts would be almost down to the knee, perhaps more of a cullotte, but I like the idea of their being rather baggy army-style ones! (awful old pictures from The Famous Five, or my dad's old shorts he wore when I was a kid!)

Re: Jill Pole
My mistake. Yes, you're correct. Jill is described as wearing shorts. Doesn't SC take place in the early to mid-1940's?

I think Jill does wear longer type shorts....in the BBC production Camilla Power looked liked she was wearing some really long shorts (oxymoronic that is). And I think SC is set during Autumn 1942 (why Jill would wear shorts when it's chilly?...but then she has the long stockings on....).

Re: Jill Pole
I just watched the BBC SC mini-series several weeks ago and Camilla Powers wears a short skirt, not shorts.

Re: Jill Pole
Here is my take on all Jill's outfits. I'm Sorry if they take a while to come up. There are three outfits on a page, and the last page is hair. Some of the edges got cut off.

Those are really lovely! I can totally see Jill in all of them.
