I thought it was very accurate but also very accommodating--Austenmania is a very big tent, and there's room for everyone. <br /><br />The bit about the dress is wonderful. I acknowledged early in my Janeite years that wearing Regency dress was not in the cards. Personally, I don't think the styles are flattering to many people--I far prefer the Edwardian look myself, and the dress I invariably wear to JASNA AGM balls is more appropriate to Downton Abbey circa 1920 than Pemberley circa 1813.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy it--I sure did!JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-45581195256568168182013-09-24T13:20:19.926-04:002013-09-24T13:20:19.926-04:00It sounds interesting.
