Catherine bought the dresses herself, and Mrs Allen's... Written by Reeba (3/20/2009 5:44 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Catherine´s dresses, penned by MarianneR

muslin was not that expensive. She bought it at a bargain. ;-)

CH:2;

"....her chaperone was provided with a dress of the newest fashion. Catherine too made some purchases herself,"

So I don't think her dresses were in the height of fashion, but I'm quite sure the General doesn't have such a keen sense of fashion and all that it entails.

He just knows the Allens are rich and Catherine 'will' inherit, he thinks.
