Austen Reflections on White Gowns
"A woman can never be too fine while she is all in white."
-Edmund Bertram from Mansfield Park
"Go, by all means, my dear; only put on a white gown; Miss Tilney always wears white."
-Mrs. Allen from Northanger Abbey
"Oh! dear; I was so miserable! I am sure I must have been as white as my gown."
-Harriet Smith from Emma

It doesn't matter what it is; Jane Austen always words things JUST RIGHT! :-)
Which must be why we're always quoting her... ;-)
