In terms of costume, I really like S&S2 (EmmaT and Hugh G). I have a couple of questions about the clothing, though.

First of all, does it jive with 1797?

Secondly, I presume that throughout at least teh first part of the film, the DAshwood women are in mourning. Exactly how long would one be expected to dress in mourning for a father/husband? Does the film depict them in mourning clothes, or with mourning accoutrements?

Thirdly, I am intrigued by the straw hats, particularly Marianne's scuttle-shaped bonnet. Has anyone any ideas on how one of these would be constructed?

Then there is Miss Dashwood's overall/apron. Is there any historical referent available for this?
