I'm going by... Written by Reeba (2/28/2011 10:23 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Emma and clothes, penned by Bridget D

Julie's comment on a previous GR.

She mentions about the fashion of having pockets during 18th century.
That it may still have continued in the countryside means Emma is not following London fashions.

To presume she may have had 'only one' such gown is not something I agree with.

I've given the link.
