"I have the greatest dislike to the idea of being over-trimmed - quite the #horror of finery [...] I have a notion of putting such a trimming as this to my white ndsilver poplin. Do you think it will look well?"
#MrsElton #DoesNotUnderstandMuslin #LucyRobinson #Emma #Austen

#Sanditon That said, let's dip right into #AdmiralHeywood's wardrobe. I think #Costumedesigner #SamPerry took the #fanfiction bit well into the decision making. This maybe a stretch (as if), but with tight budgets forcing the same stack of costumes to be recycled over & again...

... one might as well go meta. So here are #CharlotteHeywood's #4SpencersOfDescent @RecycledCostume @ITV @Sanditon. #Sanditon 1st up: Actually down now but #RoseWilliams' insta-account had a dress rehearsal shot of #KeiraKnightley's #PrideAndPrejduce coat. http://www.recycledmoviecostumes.com/regencyromantic082.html

#Sanditon #4SpencersOfDescent instead this black velvet military spencer was chosen 1st worn by #JenniferEhle's Liz Bennet in the 1995 P&P notably when turning on #Darcy (muddy skirts), raveling into Wickham's web & lastly while batteling off the old classist trout that is Lady C

#Sanditon #4SpencersOfDescent cue #CharlotteHeywood in Episode4: Tumbling into Otis'/MsLambe's web & finally giving #SidneyParker a fiery piece of her mind on racism, igniting you know what bulbs of realisation in the chap - I'm sure from that point on he loudly hears the music.

#Sanditon next up in the #4SpencersOfDescent: The #SpencerOfProcessing where #JenniferEhle's Lizzie gets to face and come to terms with THAT letter, putting in to question a large part of her reasoning and actions, well her very self, actually.

Meanwhile in #Sanditon #CharlotteHeywood wears it 1st thing in Ep.7 during this "Fate surprises even the most jaded amongst us" meet-cute & when that meaning (to her) takes a turn for the nasty - invitation issued by #SidneyParker & not (yet) for reasons of monetary investments.

#Sanditon #4SpencersOfDescent 3rdly: #CatherineMorland's #SpencerOfDangerousUpbringingsAndTerribleDreams worn by #FelicityJones in #NorthangerAbbey (yes the #AndrewDavies 1) during 2 trysty walks with the Tilneys when this bit occurs: "At least she can marry the man she loves...

... not everyone is so fortunate" ... "How sad that is." ... "I shouldn't have thought one would have to read novels to find that out." #FelicityJones & #CatherineWalker, such es

When in #Sanditon: Well. I guess, costume-story-telling had us warned... #RoseWilliams #TheoJames

#Sanditon #4SpencersOfDescent That's the youthful, exuberant bit of referencing done as the last spencer has been worn not by 1 but 2 #AnneElliot s ( #AmandaReet & #SallyHawkins in #Persuasion, none by #AndrewDavies, yet) parading 2 their s content & HEAs http://www.recycledmoviecostumes.com/regencyromantic024.html

In #Sanditon #CharlotteHeywood is 1st wearing it for that "glorious" sermon on lilies of the field, WAITING to be plucked & of course again when #SidneyParker "saves the day" therby reducing HER (& the whole bloody audience) to exactly that scorned flowery state. #FoolishVicars

I leave to you if that is plain cynic or if the #AnneElliot link should attune us 4 a 2nd half to that story with #sanditonseason2. Not sure I could stand the wait, the angst & moodshift for a whole season. Think I'd rather make off with #FredRobinson. Or his hat. #JamesAtherton

#Sanditon Back with #LouisaMusgrove's bloodied #BonnetOfBrokenHeads an accessory, ripe with symbolism, worn in the (other) 2007 #Persuasion, when she wantonly attempts to take 1 more "tumble" from the #Lyme #Cobb into Cpt. Wentworth's arms but lands hard on her head - so to speak

#Sanditon: On #CharlotteHeywood while having her head stuffed with info insufficient 4 more than vague assumptions leading her straight into the Georgiana-trouble while also being "caught up in the excitement of the game", playing with #SidneyParker or cricket or whatevs #Porkpie

Now guess who in #Sanditon is left wearing #MrsClay's (yes, that's a speaking name, as in feet of...) #BumbtiousBonnetOfProstitution - she quite explicitly does end the story as a kept woman, having "known" a great deal of the #Navy even beforehand. #MaryStockley #Persuasion 2008

In #Sanditon: Up on golden girl & eb's favourite partypooper #ElizaCampion (wearing gold after witnessing THAT dance & golden Charlotte) Now, I do like the spin that puts on things, tragic though it may be. #Genderbending Also: Chapeau Ruth Kearney 4 taking on that part. I think.
