Fashion of the time was for large hairdos, particularly for women, corsets, dresses, flowers, large hats, lots of makeup (for both men and women) and wigs, for those without the hair for an extravagant hairdo.

 It is important to note that the image above is a recreation of royalty from the Georgian Era and may in fact be, completely inaccurate. Nevertheless, the image is at least, the public perception of what the Georgian Era may have been like so it is completely fine to use as reference.

Pirates of the Caribbean, Marie Antoinette and this image all heavily imply that alcohol was consumed as if it were water in the 18th century. Also, Horse and Cart was a common mode of transportation for the time.
