When I was preparing for the Mansfield Park post I ended up with way too many pictures. I though I would share "a few".

Miss Crawford seems to have stolen that hat and the last dress from the BBC version of P&P. What is weird about everyone else's cloths is that the ladies gowns are high=necked (often with collars) and don't hit the bust right. The men's clothes are...lol.

XD quite possible.

And then there are the buttons and sewing techniques. And mr Crawford in layers. XD The ball dresses have lower necklines and there are times when low necklines are worn. I can't quite figure out if it is supposed to take place earlier than the other versions or is it just a different take on fashion.

Its definitely not earlier, which had wider skirts, and lower waistlines (remember a mere ten, twenty years ago takes you to the French Revolution etc.) with larger hair. They might be setting it later into the 1820s-1830s, but once again you have wider skirts and the hair is quite different. I think it is just a different take on fashion.

Your Onion!Crawford made me laugh!

A year or two could make a difference in fashion, but I do tend to agree it's another take on fashion. I seem to hava a thing agains the 80s. The P&P and MP series are close to the book, but they feel dull. They make the restrict and social manners of Regency look so boring and fashion as well is not as enjoyable than in more recent adaptations.

Some of these fashions are quite hilarious. Like the hat Mary is wearing in the first group picture.

he's like an onion, so many layers.
LOL how are you so good at such pithy and funny comments? HE IS AN ONION. I CRY FOR THEE.

... for some reason, Mary Crawford reminds me of Amelia Bedelia...

I admit, that was the only reason I made that screencap.

XD *bows* The onion imaginary helped me to get over the fact that people actually wore those.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Amelia Bedelia.

Amelia Bedelia. It's not the best image, but I think it's the hair, and the round hat.
