I've done talks in various places about this period, usually couched in
terms of "fashion and Jane Austen." This particular occasion will be
extra fun. A local B&B, the Governor's House in Hyde Park, VT, offers 4
Jane Austen weekends throughout the year focusing on one book and then a
topic related to Austen's period
(http://www.onehundredmain.com/calendar2.cfm).
There's a Friday evening talk, Saturday tea, dinner and book discussion,
and Sunday brunch and quiz. Next year's book is Emma and the general
topic will be the fashion of the times. So, I'll be doing the talks and
decided I needed a multi-day wardrobe for each of the 4 weekends which
are each in a different season! Buying the fabric and designing the
gowns was fun, but actually creating them now is a bit daunting.
