Okay, today's Anne chapter write-up is going to be super short because it's about Sunday school and I don't care that much lol. #LainaReadsAnne

#LainaReadsAnne Most interesting part of this chapter to me is that Marilla has made Anne three new dresses. One for church, and two for school in the fall. One is "snuffy-coloured gingham", one is "black and white checked sateen", and one is "a stiff print of an ugly blue".

#LainaReadsAnne They all consist of "plain skirts fulled tightly to plain waists, with sleeves as plain as waist and skirt and tight as sleeves could be".

So, historical fashion experts, what say ye? Examples, time period?

#LainaReadsAnne Anne is not a big fan of them, and poor Marilla is offended because she did try. Anne says she'll imagine she'll like them XD

The issue is that they're not pretty, and especially that they don't have puffed sleeves.

#LainaReadsAnne Marilla thinks puffed sleeves are ridiculous and also a waste of fabric, lol.

#LainaReadsAnne So Marilla gets what I honestly think is a migraine ("a sick headache") and can't go with Anne to church. She covers her new hat in flowers, but still feels bad that every other girl at church has puffed sleeves.

#LainaReadsAnne Sunday School/church in general goes fine.

When she's reporting how it went, Marilla feels like she should probably scold Anne for her opinions on the minister and Mr Bell who... did opening exercises? He prayed at the beginning of the service.

#LainaReadsAnne I dunno, I don't religion.

Anyways, Marilla secretly agrees with Anne's opinions that they're both kind of boring, lol.

And that's about it. Like I said, short chapter because I don't care about Sunday school that much.

#LainaReadsAnne I just don't find church that interesting XD

We'll see about maybe doing another chapter if I have time to make up for this one being so short.
