I read the book too, but it did not make me crazy. It is so easy to make a mistake about clothing when you are a writer with little or no background in clothing history. I pretty much ignore that stuff.
As for the novel itself, it was disappointing, but the "Constant Princess" made me nuts. It was so PC! And it had no end-- it stopped dead after she was called into court for the divorce proceedings. (AAK!) Not to mention it flipped between first person and the narritive. UGH. The only person I have ever seen do that well is Diana Gabaldon. Now that woman can write!

(Okay, the entire book had that effect on me, I hated it, but the costumes were the worst.)
