With an Introduction and Notes by Sally Minogue
The Shirley of the title is a woman of independent means; her friend Caroline is not. Both struggle with what a woman's role is and can be. Their male counterparts - Louis, the powerless tutor, and Robert, his cloth-manufacturing brother - also stand at odds to society's expectations. The novel is set in a period of social and political ferment, featuring class disenfranchisement, the drama of Luddite machine-breaking, and the divisive effects of the Napoleonic Wars.

Skirt portion of dress was awesome!
Size: Medium, Color: Black
Great skirt with pockets. Loved the light cotton fabric. Needed a little more support up top than what the dress could give. Probably better for AA-C bust.

Not what I expected
Size: Medium, Color: Black
Very cute but, the top of the dress is like a stretchy cami, like what we used to wear from the 90'/00's - so not dressy enough for my occasion and I returned it.
