A friend of mine from Norway was just telling about the six day larp she was on recently. Given the ongoing discussions of 'jane austin larp' and 'ballgowning' I thought I put a link to the photos up here for general interest:

The setting was England, 1792

Lovely costume! I'd be interested in where they got some of the patterns/dresses from because they're a little different to the ones I see a lot at english LARP. (Especially Maelstrom!)

Very pretty dresses, lovely ballgowners.

But technically dresses in Austen's day (i.e. the Regency, 1811-1820) were very different. Much less puffy skirts, and high-waist gathered bodices instead of restrictive corsetage... /analdressobsession

Oh yes, entirely inaccurate for the suggested period, but pretty and totally suitable for other LARPs in England.

Err... except that Austen was born in 1775 and started writing in the 1790s. A lot of her work wasn't published until the Regency, but that seems a churlish objection.
