But now that I think about it more seriously, I suspect is they are done
that way to appeal to the majority of the audience who are NOT well informed
about the clothing of other eras.
I was wondering...
When did the drive for truly historical recreation really take off?
As I understand it in the music world, performers only started
trying to play "as it was originally/meant to be played" within the
last 20 to 25 years.
Not true in England. Early music was being played on original
instruments when I was singing in the 60's. A gentleman called
Thurston Dart, I believe, was instrumental (pun intended) in bringing
"the real thing" to a wider audience. (Even then, it was not a very
wide audience - I was privileged to see and hear some rather special
early music people, including David Munrow and Christopher Hogwood of
the Early Music Consort.)

Is that also true for costume?
Just wondering, this previous conversation tweaked my interest.
Thanks ahead of time
