Lydia Bennet's Traveling Spencer

This spencer only appears once in Pride and Prejudice; it appears in the scene when Lydia is leaving Longbourn to travel with the Forsters to Brighton.

Full Front View: This spencer is a little bit different from most spencers. It extends much farther than most spencers.

Front View: The color seems to be a mix of red and milk chocolate brown with tan/goldish dots. The collar is folded. The front is secured by two frogs.

Back View: You might be able to see a slight shadow where the back seam is. From that shadow, it is shown that the back of this spencer is like most Regency spencers. It seems like this spencer was made like most spencers, then the triangle parts were sewn on.

Kitty and Lydia Bennet's Red Cape

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.

Lydia Bennet's Patterned Spencer

Lydia, like Kitty, seems to wear this spencer a lot. Sometimes she is shown with this spencer and a red cape (but more on the red cape later)

Front View: There's a fold down collar and three silver buttons on this spencer. It looks to me like the lace coming out of the collar is a part of the spencer.

Closer Front View: You get a better view of the lace coming out of the collar.

Side View: There might be a little bit of a "puff" to the sleeve, but it's not too big. Maybe it was slightly gathered.

Back View: This was the best picture I had of the back. It doesn't look like a typical Regency back (looking like there is only one piece to it), but it could just be the picture quality...

Assorted Chemisettes and Kerchiefs/Fichus

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.
