Honestly? There are plenty of folks in Brassy's who do a high-quality fake-up of the period clothing, including me. Last game, the full black skirt I'd ordered hadn't arrived in time, so I just wore a straight ankle-length skirt that's part of my work wardrobe. I rarely pull off a bustle on anything. And Miss Trent apparently spent all her money on one really fabulous evening gown that she now has to wear to every event. =) No one ever criticizes an honest attempt to look not-modern.
Seriously, don't skip the game because you don't have the exact costuming, I'm telling you. If you have a high-necked or poet blouse and a long skirt, you will be costumed as accurately as at least half the game if not more. Come, and play, and have a blast (because the campaign is SO fun) and worry about fancy costuming next time. I'll even make you a marvy little hat if it will make you feel more period!
