Georgiana is wearing a lovely dress, although a plain color, with a gossamer overlay and matching shawl. The other women appear in also lovely gowns of varying intricacy. But here we have THE LADY OF THE HOUSE appearing to own no more than two dresses, and ugly plain ones at that. It drove me crazy.

Elizabeth has always been a more "down to earth" type of character, so it makes sense that she wouldn't suddenly be parading around in fine jewels if there is no occasion to dress like that. In the flashback scenes, she is dressed up when she's at a public function.

Not counting the flashback scenes from before Lizzy and Darcy married, I counted five gowns but they’re all the same color. That’s probably more gowns than any of the other characters had.
This costume designer is notorious for doing this. She gives the actresses far too much input into their costumes. She did the same exact thing on Poldark. In the first couple seasons of the program she made all Demelza’s costumes the same shade of mustard yellow. And Elizabeth’s were all the same shade of blue/green. It’s kind of ridiculous to spend all that money on silk costumes and then make them all the same color.
