Named for the timeless Charles Dickens novel, the Great Expectations woman is inspired by the classics of the past – flowers, ruffles, lace, satin. She clothes herself in femininity and emulates the looks of the women of the Victorian era. With high neck lines, corsetry and tiered pieces, the Great Expectations woman makes the old feel new again.
