They're making a film as entertainment, not a documentary on how to
layer 18th-century clothing.
You try explaining that to someone who doesn't know about costume
history, and wants "the dress that so and so wears" in a particular
film or TV series. Fran, you enjoy films your way - I am entitled to
dislike things for my reasons, and state those reasons on an open
list. After all we are all entitled to our own opinions - I was
simply stating mine.You don't have to snap.
