Fashions of Jane Austen - the Regency Period Clothing

What the Jane Austen movies have done for us fans is help us to imagine a physical reality for the characters in play. Without color motion pictures and television shows, her characters would be left to the imaginations of the individual readers. While some may think these movies "poison" the original works for new Austen fans, they do - at the very least - provide some visual reference in terms of fashion and clothing options of the Regency Period in all their glory.

Below are a few representative illustrations of male and female clothing used in the BBC motion picture adaptation of "Pride & Prejudice".
