How  accurate is it in terms of

Speaking, rather than not, of the costumes....
Well, Adrian did them so as far as costumes go, they are spectacular, if  not 
accurate. He apparently used as much real 18th century lace as he could  get 
his hands on. If I remember rightly, Norma Shearer wears a number of  real 
diamonds in her hair, and they had to build a replica of the ballroom at  
Versailles...only BIGGER to accommodate the huge panniers. That's right,  
bigger....than Versailles.... well, it is Hollywood.
