Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, is a story that follows Mary Bennet from Pride and Prejudice as she finds love with an unexpected, intellectual  match during the holidays. Set in the Regency Era, I was inspired by the classic, empire silhouette and combining bright color palettes to compliment the style of the holidays and the storyline. For this production I wanted to use a specific color palette for each character in order to convey distinct personality traits. For example, I costumed Arthur to wear a blue, regency tailcoat with hints of red and orange in his waistcoats because it portrayed him as a scholar with a subdued passion for science. For other characters such as Lydia, I wanted to show her flirtatiousness and naiveté by dressing her in bright pinks and purples and to separate her from others onstage. I also used certain color schemes to my advantage to easily convey to audience members who was coupled with whom in regards to love interests. To accomplish this, I costumed Mr. and Mrs. Darcy in a series of greens and Mr. and Mrs. Bingley in a series of blues to show that they were coupled together. For Mary and her love interest, Arthur, I dressed them in their own color palettes that then became the same in the end when they professed their love for one another.
