Jane Bennet's Grey Pelisse/Gown

This grey pelisse (or gown?) of Jane Bennet's can be seen while she is inside Longbourn or outside (which I think is a little unusual since pelisses are usually worn outside). It seems to have some of the qualities of a pelisse (like the buttoned bodice), but it also has some qualities of being a regular gown (it was worn during a meal).

Front View: The front has a buttoned down bodice. There are two buttons going down the bodice, but then at the empire waist, there are two more buttons to hold the dress together. There's also a separate collar that comes out at the neckline.

Details of the collar: There's a lot of fine white embroidery on the collar. The edge is not a straight edge, but has a fancy "zig zag" detailed edge. This picture is also a screenshot from a meal time at Longbourn.

Back: The back resembles a classic pelisse. There is also a puff to the top of the sleeve.

Georgiana Darcy's Blue Pelisse

We see this pelisse in a flash back of Mr. Darcy's as he is writing his letter. This was the pelisse that Georgiana wore at Ramsgate.

Front View: There are six buttons/fasteners at the bottom of the bodice of this pelisse. The collar also folds down to reveal some sort of white, lacy fabric.

Side View: You can get some hint of what the back looks like from the side view. The back appears to be pleated. There are two parts of the sleeve: the top sleeve and the under, full sleeve. I would assume that the back of the pelisse is the standard Regency back of pelisses.

Elizabeth Bennet's Traveling Pelisse

Elizabeth seems to wear this pelisse when she is traveling somewhere (Hunsford, Lambton, from Netherfield Park, etc.)

Front View: The color appears to be a dark teal-ish color. Elizabeth wears either this bonnet or the bonnet that she wore to Pemberly. The scarf that appears in this picture is often worn with this pelisse.

Close up of Front: The collar looks like a lot of modern collars. You also get a closer look at the pattern on the scarf.

Front View: You can clearly see the four buttons that were hidden by the bonnet ribbon.

Side View: The sleeve isn't too puffy at the top: if you are making this pelisse, be careful with gathering the sleeve.

Note: The white part by the neckline is separate from the pelisse. Notice the red dress that is shown by the skirt and the white scarf around the neckline.
