Hello, all.
I have questions about a beautiful outfit I saw in the 1970 version of
the movie “Scrooge”.
The lovely Edith Evans portrays the Ghost of Christmas Past, and enters
so beautifully dressed!
I have to copy it.
I know, it's Hollywood (okay, Shepperton), but it's just so lovely I'm
willing to give up the authenticity factor.
I managed to get some still photos off the DVD. They're on my Flickr site:

Now, the questions.
The book was published in 1843, but doesn't give Scrooge's age. That
makes it very hard to guess what year the Ghost of Christmas Past
originates. Scrooge was a little boy, but how many years have passed?
Ms. Evans appears to be wearing a bronze or green silk gown and a
pannier, with a red wool overcoat or overdress with a peplum.
What would the gown underneath have looked like?
Am I even close in my guesses of what I'm seeing?
Thanks,
Michelle
