I was checking out the IMDb entry for the miniseries Emma and came across this amusing Trivia section.
Do you suppose the (clearly) one person that made those contributions just might have been involved in costume design for the production?
In point of fact, that tan coat was damaged in a scuffle between two grips (one key, one not) and was replaced by a similar-appearing coat.
Clearly you can’t trust ANYthing on the internet these days.
I dare someone to add “Trivia: the actors wore a lot of clothes in this movie.”
All (a lot, anyway,) of the Jane Austen movies have entries like these. Apparently Britain only has a certain number of Regency-era dresses available for filmmakers, and it’s impossible to make more. 
My guess would be that this was actually the work of some costume geek who owns all the movies/series mentioned on DVD. The real costume designer probably has better things to do with his or her time.
:eek: My God, you’re right - all the same guy too.
Considering how many movies have these entries that’s pretty…astonishing. Especially with ones like this:
I gotta give whoever made those entries kudos on completeness, no matter what kind of mental picture it conjures up to read them all. 
“The pale gray pelisse with darker gray velvet lapels …”
Okay, how many people actually know what a pelisse is? (hint: they’re almost indistinguishable from Redingnotes)
People geek out over all kinds of things, and some people really know a lot about and pay attention to costuming. It’s not about period costuming, but there’s a blog devoted to the costuming on Glee that attempts to identify the designer/retailer and price of every item of clothing and accessory worn by the main cast, provide links to purchase the item if it is still commercially available, and list every episode in which the same item has appeared.
I don’t think “pelisse” is that obscure of a term for people interested in period costuming. I am not really into historic fashion but I do like Jane Austen and I know that a pelisse is a kind of jacket. I’ve never heard of a Redingnote, though.
It’s longer than that - more like a duster - or was when Austen used the term.
