No, no, I love talking about it - I'd love to be a costume expert, but since I'm not, I love learning about them.
I agree with you about creativity, though I also know that budget is often an issue with the Beeb. I actually have heard that it was Marianne's dresses that were borrowed from Knightley. But I don't know if it's true, or if so, what they are.
As for P&P's costumes, I've also noticed that Mrs. Bennet tends to have the lowest waistlines, while the younger girls have much higher ones. Thus, it seems like a generational thing. However, though one of my costumey friends has said that sleeveless dresses are indeed period accurate for a very brief span, I still think Caroline's Netherfield Ball dress is really jarring.
