Anne Shirley yearned to be stylish and revelled in the glamorous outfits she was able to wear every so often while living at Green Gables – even if it meant her sleeves were so large she would have to “turn sideways to get through the doors”, as Marilla said. Once Anne became a little older and more independent, she made a concentrated effort to wear clothing and accessories that made her feel pretty.

From that moment on, Gilbert was smitten with the feisty, red – haired orphan but his affections were not easily… or quickly… returned.
