The movie, A Christmas Carol, tells the tale of an old miserable callous man named Ebenezer Scrooge and his path to redemption. It takes place in the mid 1800s, where the people of London are consumed with the spirit of Christmas and the excitement that comes with the season.

He declines his nephew’s Christmas dinner invitation and irrationally fires his hard working employee Bob Cratchit. That night Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of three more ghosts that will be visiting him at one, two, and three a.m.

However, women stole the spotlight with a queen in power. The variety of fashionable sleeves for women of this age changed regularly. The textbook states, “The change in sleeve shaping has been compared to a balloon that started to deflate”. For dresses, the shoulder line cut much lower than one’s natural shoulder line. Full skirts were gathered at a low pointed waist, with many petticoats underneath to sustain the skirt. Women’s hairstyles included wearing middle parts with hair down in ringlets, or up dos with braids and coils. Many women wore bonnets as well with a paisley or croquet shawl to keep them warm. In the late 1840s, shoes with small heels became popular as well as parasols and gloves for both day and evening
