Heather Uhlman Austen Material Culture Project 4/29/2015 For this material culture project I made a Jane Austen inspired Regency Era bonnet. My research consisted of film, photographic, and journal references to familiarize myself with both modern adaptations of Regency Era costume as well as direct references to historical apparel. I also consulted my grandmother who was, for over 20 years, the director of historical costumes collection and a docent at the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, NC. I didn’t make a direct reproduction of any particular bonnet I saw; I wanted to make a piece that represented my own personality while also heavily relying on Regency style. Bonnets in the Regency period were such a large part of personal fashion, as well as an indication of marital status, not to mention sun protection. Women’s fashion in the Regency Era and in Austen’s works is indicative of the sort of women wearing it, thus the extensive variety and prevalence of headwear in film adaptations and historical references. I viewed many Jane Austen film adaptations to gather inspiration for this project. The Joe Wright’s Pride and Prejudice , as well as Ang Lee’s Sense and Sensibility provided many quite beautiful examples of fancy bonnets, as well as some plain ones. The wedding scene at the end of Sense and Sensibility was of great use and reference for this project. I particularly loved Anne Elliot’s purple bonnet that appears in many scenes in Adrian Shergold’s 2007 adaptation of Persuasion . I found this amazing straw base to start with. Then I sourced the materials from a variety of fabric and hobby stores, as well as my personal costume creating stash. I worked with a sewing machine and quite a lot of hot glue, even though these construction methods are not historically relevant. I hope that I created something that is both relevant to Austen’s works with a touch of modern flair. The Jane Austen Center website was also a quite helpful style reference for me while gathering ideas about how I wanted this bonnet to materialize. I’ve attached some of the pictures that I referenced from a Google search that I used for picking my materials. Works Cited "Jane Austen Centre." Jane Austen Centre .

Set in the 1790s, earlier than most Austen tales, LOVE & FRIENDSHIP concerns beautiful young widow Lady Susan Vernon (Kate Beckinsale) who has come to Churchill, the estate of her in-laws, to wait out colourful rumours about her dalliances circulating through polite society. Whilst ensconced there, she decides to secure a husband for herself and for her daughter, Frederica, played by Morfydd Clark. Chloë Sevigny, who starred with Beckinsale in Stillman's The Last Days of Disco (1998), plays Lady Susan’s friend and confidante Alicia Johnson, with Stephen Fry as her husband, the "very Respectable" Mr. Johnson. The waters are troubled by the arrival at Churchill of the handsome, eligible Reginald DeCourcy (Xavier Samuel) and silly but cheerful -- and very rich -- Sir James Martin (Tom Bennett).
