I love the look of silhouettes and I love Pride and Prejudice so it seemed like a good idea to put the two together. I found this misty green gingham which I thought was a nice complement to the black silhouettes of Mr. Darcy and Miss Elizabeth Bennet!

A follow-up to "The Letter", this is the second Regency photo-manipulation I've created and modeled for.
Yep, the lady standing on the hillside is me. :) Taken from this image, from my Regency photo shoot.

You may remember back in July that I spoke about Dancing with Mr Darcy (Honno Press), an anthology of 20 original stories inspired by Jane Austen and Chawton House. Well here it is in all of its lime(ish) green glory, and I'm sure you'll agree it looks rather covetable.
To recap, the 20 stories contained within Dancing with Mr Darcy were selected by award-winning author Sarah Waters, from entries to the Jane Austen Short Story Award 2009 (an award specifically launched this year to mark bicentenary of Jane Austen's arrival in Chawton; the place where Austen was the most active during her literary life).
The overall winner - Jane Austen Over the Styx by Victoria Owens fronts the collection and is accompanied by the other 19 winning entries. Of the anthology as a whole Sarah Waters has this to say in her introduction:
What all the stories in this anthology show, is the continuing resonance of Jane Austen for modern readers and writers. None is simply an homage to the novelist, but each, in a sense, is a celebration of her work; and collectively they lead us back to her with fresh eyes.
More from me when I get around to reading it. Meanwhile further details on Dancing with Mr Darcy can be found on Honno's website.
Honno | 05 November 2009 | £7.99 | PAPERBACK | 246 PP | ISBN: 9781906784089

Theo and I went as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy for Halloween. I sewed the gown and bonnet (a straw hat formed the base), and Theo & I sewed his vest at about 2 in the morning of Halloween. We took this picture after riding 18+ miles around town to Halloween parties.

Halloween 2009
"There was suddenly a terrible shriek, not unlike that which hogs make while being butchered. Elizabeth knew at once what it was, and reached for her ankle dagger most expeditiously. She turned, blade at the ready, and was met with the regrettable visage of three unmentionables, their arms outstretched and mouths agape." - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

I think I need to watch more zombie movies and less Jane Austen ones. I found it hard to act like a zombie, which is pretty pithetic seeing how easy a role it is. I really got into making this costume though!
Once again I'm gonna say, I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!
And I'm sad it's over...
