I haven't seen the movie in a while, these are the best pics I can find:

(best for the colours)

I'd say, go for a fairly full black skirt (you may need a full petticoat underneath it) with a patterned apron over the top, and a white blouse. A dark green medium-/longish-length fitted coat, and a maroon coloured scarf around your neck. Flat black shoes and a black wicker hat, with your hair in a messy bun underneath. Carry a basket of flowers, and pin a purple flower to your coat. You can probably find most/all of these in charity shops or on Ebay :) and don't forget to use coal or black eyeshadow to give your face a dirty look... Eliza was quite grubby before Mrs Pierce had her scrubbed clean.

Sorry I wasn't much help, it's late in England! Good luck finding everything

When Mr Higgins calls Eliza Doolittle a "squashed cabbage leaf" how does this explain Eliza?

I assume that is has something to do with the fact a squashed cabbage leaf is dirty and raggy - whicd describes Eliza's appearance.

Also cabbage in those days would have been seen as paupers food.
