Time for a new fashion trend

I have become increasingly fascinated by the late 18th and early 19th centuries. I've been reading Jane Austen, developing a fascination with the Scarlet Pimpernel and reading other books that take place in a similar time period and I have decided, it's time for fashion to change again. You know how bell-bottoms have regained popularity and people keep trying to revive fashions from the last century, well I think that it's time to go back to regency style dress. Yes, men in short pants and frilly cravats. Women in longer dresses that are not antebellum style, who wants hoop skirts, yuck! I don't really know how to describe the clothes so just rent Jane Austen movies (not the Laurence Olivier version of Pride and Prejudice because the costumes are all wrong, the movie itself is entertaining) or the Scarlet Pimpernel if you want to know what I'm talking about.
