Oh, you lucky! I wish I were close enough to attend. That event they
did last August with people being Jane Austen characters sounds even
more fun. Did you attend that?

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.
