Jane Austen Fashions - Caroline Bingley of Pride and Prejudice

< Back to Fashions Index

Caroline Bingley Dress from Pride and Prejudice

If there is anyone that can get and retain the attention of any man (well, almost any), it's Caroline Bingley. Her appearance exudes the stuffy nature of her character, having access to the latest expensive materials, articles and fashions from around the globe.

Here we see Miss Bingley adorned with a plumed hat, providing that necessary attention-getter that every single female socialite needs. He full-length ball gown is empire waisted and wrapped over in a similar cloak with detailed edging and capped sleeves running down past her elbows. Each arm is seen with decorative tassels and an expensive gold wrist band is set on her left arm. Additionally, there are two rings of unknown origin on that hand.

Miss Bingley's look is complimented by fine jewelry to bring out her "fine eyes". This is made up of matching earrings and a showpiece necklace of considerable size. Both showcase gold pieces affixed with priceless pearl work. The close observer will note the repeated jewelry in the hat.

Her hair is worn in the consistent manner of the times with both sides parted at the center and curled outwards.
