The Pride & Prejudice imagery is taken from the Greer Garson film version. The costume designer wanted more opulence, so they reused Gone with the Wind costumes for background characters, and did new out-of-period costumes for the main characters.

It's an abomination unto Nuggan.

Oh, is THAT where it came from. I haven't seen that movie version since I was maybe 12 at the most, and I'd forgotten. I was looking at those sleeves and going, 1830s at the earliest? Er, no?

An abomination indeed!
