Some of my Facebook friends are following. No one shoulder bare, or many, many, other things. I know it's theater, but even allowing for that, seems very weird. My opinion is, even though it is a story, it is based so firmly in a historical time and place, it seems downright strange to go off on such flights of fancy. Wonder if there will be a "making of" wherein it is explained?

I know ladies' gowns of that period (1805) were inspired by classical draperies, but would it really have been acceptable to wear an asymmetrical dress leaving one shoulder bare? There were at least two examples of evening gowns in this style as well as some with narrow shoulder straps which seemed jarringly modern to me.
