Dressed for the Drawing Room: Fashion in Jane Austen’s World

In partnership with Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA) North Texas Chapter and with costumes loaned from NBCUniversal Archives & Collections, the AMA will feature costumes and jewelry from film adaptations of two of Austen’s most iconic works: Pride and Prejudice (2005) and Emma (2020). Bringing together costumes and accessories from two important films in the Austen world, the exhibition immerses visitors in the elegant, expressive, and often politically charged world of fashion during the Regency era.

The JASNA is dedicated to the enjoyment and appreciation of Jane Austen and her writing. JASNA is a nonprofit organization, staffed by volunteers, whose mission is to foster among the widest number of readers the study, appreciation, and understanding of Jane Austen’s works, her life, and her genius.
