In the Regency period, when Austen was writing, "wedding clothes" can mean more than just what one wears on the wedding day. A bride was expected to bring certain things with her when she married, including not only new clothes but also table linens, sheets, etc. This is also sometimes called a trousseau.

Also, brides rarely wore white before Queen Victoria made it popular by wearing white to her wedding (1840).

In Jane Austin's novels, "wedding clothes" typically refer to formal attire worn specifically for a wedding ceremony. It often signifies a special and celebratory occasion in the characters' lives. Additionally, the description of wedding clothes can also symbolize themes of societal expectations, love, and happy endings in Austin's stories.

Does the unexplained lack of portraits of the famous Jane Austin and her father and blue blooded mother could mean they looked black or coloured and even possibly African?

The lack of portraits of Jane Austen, her father, and mother is likely due to various factors such as lack of interest in having portraits done, limited funds, or portraits being lost over time. There is no evidence to suggest that their potential racial background influenced the absence of portraits. It is important to avoid speculating about someone's race or ethnicity based on the absence of visual representations.
