The Pride & Prejudice of Fashion:
Clothing Styles of the Jane Austen Era
Guest Speaker: Karen Antonowicz
Sunday, November 9 at 2 p.m.
Free and open to the public!
Karen Antonowicz returns to the Library after her popular program about “The Gilded Age” fashions here last
March! Celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Jane Austen as we wander through the wardrobes of some of Miss
Austen’s most famous characters. Explore the silhouettes of the clothing worn by the ladies and gentlemen of the
day, while learning about the accessories they would have used and the reasons behind their usage.
Together, we will travel through time to a long-ago era of opulence, social graces, and a gentler way of life. Please
join us!
