By a Lady: A Look at Jane Austen’s World*

Tames gives an engaging description of what it was like to be alive during the time Jane Austen wrote her books. In the first half of this program, Tames Alan appears in an authentic Regency dress that any of Jane Austen’s characters would have worn during the day. Changing into an evening dress that would be appropriate for a ball or assembly dance, Tames describes each piece of clothing, including undergarments, fabrics, and hair and makeup, which marked a transition between the 18th century and the Victorian era. This program is made possible by a generous donation to Senior University.
