Some of the costmes from the latest BBC adaptation of Emma, starring Romola Garai as Emma and Jonny Lee Miller as Mr Knightley will be on show at the Jane Austen House Museum from the 1st April until the 16th May.
And in addition on the 7th May Rosalind Ebbutt, the BAFTA winning costume designer,
will give a talk on how she designed these costumes. Rosalind Ebbutt has designed costumes for many successful dramas, both modern and period, and according to the Events Page at the Museum’s website, has a wealth of interesting stories about her sources and inspiration.
There are going to be some really fascinating events at Jane Austen’s House over the next few months, and if you’d like to find out more about them , then do go here.

Oh how I wish I could be there for that lecture! If only someone would hurry up and perfect teleportation technology. Will you attend and, if so, can we count on a blog post? If I knew I could experience it vicariously, it would do much to ease my frustration over the cost of airfare.

Well, another wonderful event. And more to come. This is wonderful and I wouldn’t hear of them if it weren’t for this blog, Julie. Fantastic.
