Have you ever wondered how a costume designer uses historical fashion to inspire how they dress Jane Austen’s characters in stage, film and television adaptations? 

Join Dr Alex Walker from Hampshire Wardrobe, for an insightful look into the role of a costume designer, how costume creates character, and how Jane Austen’s characters have been brought to life from the page. 

Featuring examples from Hampshire Wardrobe’s collection of costumes, you’ll discover what people were wearing during the Regency period, including their undergarments, and have a close-up look at replica garments. 

Ticket includes refreshments. Please note - this talk takes place on the 2nd floor - there are access issues. Please enquire for more information
