A thought on P&P0 costumes
Posted by Carolyn B on March 05, 1998 at 07:53:12:
Just something that popped into my head this morning. I was looking at the 1833 Bentley illustrations for JA that are reprinted in Tomalin's bio (which I would link here from Myster. HC's pages if I weren't supposed to be getting ready for work right now) and realized that the costume designers for P&P0 probably went to those as their source. This has probably been suggested here before, but then my further thought (yes, more than one thought before 8 a.m.!) was that the styles of the 1830s might be more attractive to costume designers c. 1940 when big shoulders, etc. were back in vogue. Some of those hats popular then look rather like the bonnets worn by Greer Garson, et al. (sorry no illustration to link to) The straighter lines of the early 1800s less fashionable for a 1940 movie (since the similar straight lines of the 1920s had gone out of style)
Oh well, just a thought.
