Kitty and Lydia Bennet's Red Cape

Wednesday, February 9, 2011

Kitty and Lydia have the same exact red cape. In fact, there isn't a scene where one wears it and the other doesn't; they always wear them together. They also wear their usual spencers underneath (notice a little bit of Kitty's purple spencer and Lydia's patterned spencer).

Front View: Both capes are red and are secured with a two ribbons that are tied together in a bow. There is a hood on both...

Back View: And here's the hood! The hood is gathered at the edge. It appears that the hood is a rather large one, probably so the wearer could have their bonnet on and be fully covered by the hood.

Kitty Bennet's Purple Spencer

Monday, February 7, 2011

Kitty must only really have one spencer. This is the only spencer that I have seen her in. If you watched the 2007 version of Persuasion, this spencer may look familiar.


Front View: Really, there are only two fabric colors: a purpleish, greyish color (would it be called a light puce?) and a darker purple. The collar and cuffs done in this dark purple appear to be velvet or velour.

Close-up of Front View: There appear to be two darts on Kitty's spencer.


Partial Side View: Just a side view. You get a closer view of the black buttons.
Back View: To me, it looks like the back is one piece, not the typical Regency back with a couple of pieces.

Assorted Chemisettes and Kerchiefs/Fichus

Friday, February 4, 2011

Throughout Pride and Prejudice, some characters wear either chemisettes or kerchiefs (fichus). Chemisettes and fichus were worn both for modesty and warmth. They would be tucked into the bodice.

Mrs. Bennet's chemisette: Lots of frills


Kitty and Lydia's chemisettes: Kitty has the chemisette with lots of frills while Lydia has a collar chemisette. I remembered seeing a Simplicity pattern that had a chemisette similar to Lydia's, but I think it's unavailable now. You might have to look at E-bay or other pattern websites.


Mrs. Gardiner's chemisette: Not as many frills as Mrs. Bennet's.


Elizabeth's and Jane's Kerchiefs/Fichus: I wasn't sure what to call them exactly. They are in the shape of fichus, but fichus are usually tucked into the bodice. Pretty much it's a triangular piece of fabric that you can tie as shown. They look like their decorated with some white embroidery on white tulle or some sort of veil fabric.
