If there were any openings at the Horrible Revelation and Brun got the job would she have to provide her own 19th century clothing or would the bar cover that?
BenRG:
I'm pretty sure that it would be defined as 'work uniform'. Typically, the employer will provide it but you may have to cover wear and tear.
IIRC, the Horrible Revelation has a large wardrobe for customers so they can dress up if they want to. Marten and Steve look quite dapper in period costume!

Yabbut I think she would need her own set of clothes that actually fit if it were a regular gig. I don't see Brun tending bar wearing period women's clothing, so she would probably want a version of the male period bartender outfit that we saw Angus wearing, and that would not be standard or easy to find in her size.
I am certain that a place like Northhampton has people who could make or alter such clothing, but it would not be cheap.
flondrix:
Come to think of it, there were women tending bar in the 1890's, weren't there? I'm sure they wore something more practical than the women's garb I stereotypically associate with the period. Still, traditional women's clothes have to fit, moreso than men's.
