Here's the official film website (warning: it has music; un-warning: it's some pretty little possibly period pianoforte piece, not Collide). Most of the photos are close-ups of faces with an occasional glimpse of shoulder, but there is a scrap of costume info available if you select "Jane Bennet" from the Characters menu near the bottom of the screen. From Jane's page there's a link to a bunch of costume sketches. Which look pretty darn classically Regency (except Lady Catherine, whose costume looks older, but that's handwavey as "old cranky lady, still dressing as in her days of youth and glory").
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Although Nutty's point about it not being 'real" is probably good because I doubt that it is set in the Rococo period (think Dangerous Liasons ish) and everything else is shadings of Regency/Empire

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

PURITANS!
They were there, but they were the ones ousted by the Restoration. Buh-bye! Go bug some other country with your freakass religiosity!
Oh wait, they did.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Ahhh, so "The Restoration" was a period of its own (now I'm starting to vaguely remember.) I think the whole powdered wig and men wearing make-up and satin brocades had The Restoration and Georgian period confused or conflated in my mind.
I've just been to the Official Site of the film. Matthew M. is just so pretty. Brooood, pretty Matthew, brood! *sigh*

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
All I know about the Restoration was that Aphra Behn wasn't funny at all, and yet somehow I had to read The Rover in three separate English/Theatre classes.
