Becoming Jane Austen Costume Challenge As many of you know I am a fan of period films. I love the storylines as well as studying the set design and costuming. They inspired me to create a Becoming Jane Austen Costume Challenge. “Becoming Jane” Two years ago I created a historically accurate depiction of a ladies' 18th-century robe à la Française with period-appropriate accessories.

I’ve been tearing up the garden beds in both the front and back yards. I would like to edge them with a permanent structure.
