A bit of eye candy
Alert Janeite Lisa sent us some photos from a Sotheby’s auction earlier this week, which includes some costumes from the late eighteenth century. We’re a little taken aback by the gown claimed to be “like the one worn by Elizabeth Bennet” (pull it up on your shoulders, gel!) but check out that flowered gentleman’s waistcoat! Right out of Georgette Heyer!

Regarding that white number in picture 5: can I see that wet?

I’m actually interested in all sorts of period costumes, and I know a little about it, but- would Elizabeth Bennet really have worn that? Maybe I just can’t imagine it because of the cap…

I imagined the costumes to be different, especially what Elizabeth Bennet would have worn and even Mr. Darcy…
