Factual error: In the wedding scene at the beginning, the new Mrs. Weston is shown wearing a white dress. This was not the convention at that time; white wedding dresses were pioneered by Queen Victoria (1840-1901). The bride would simply have worn her best dress.

Suggested correction: A white dress may very well have been an unmarried lady's best dress at the time, as it was common for young ladies to wear white.

Factual error: When Emma painted the portrait of Harriet, the paper was stuck to the drawing board with tape. Emma is set in 1815, but sticky tape wasn't invented until 1845.

Emma Woodhouse: Has an invitation arrived for a party at the Coles?
Mr. Woodhouse: No, thank Heaven. The Coles are nice people, but we should have to go outside to get there.
