The original Alice was seven and wore a pinafore. This one is a teenager in proper Victorian dress, and the shift changes everything the game can do.
Now there are bustles, which came and went twice in thirty years. Boots with a row of buttons that needed a hook. Mourning black, which had rules about how long you wore it and what you could put over it. Striped stockings, which are the one piece of pure Wonderland in an otherwise historical wardrobe.
The game sits deliberately between the two registers. Dress her straight and you get a photograph from 1885. Push it and you get somebody who could walk into the Mad Hatter's tea party without anyone looking up. Most of the interest is in how far you can go before it tips.
If you want the child version, Alice In Wonderland on the same site is the more literal take.
How to play Victorian Alice
Silhouette first, and the silhouette is the bustle. Everything sits differently depending on whether it is there. Black is the strongest colour in the wardrobe. Used once it is elegant; used twice it becomes mourning dress, which is a different picture entirely. Save the striped stockings for last. They decide whether the look is Victorian or Wonderland.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the Alice from the book?
Older. She is drawn as a teenager, which lets the game use adult Victorian dress rather than a child pinafore.
How Victorian is the wardrobe really?
Quite. The bustles, button boots and mourning pieces are all real, and the fantasy is mostly limited to colour and the stockings.
Is there a more literal Alice game?
Yes, Alice In Wonderland on this site is the party version, with several characters and a lighter tone.
