Perhaps 25% of brides were getting married in the evening instead of during the day. ***************** I didn't mean that to sound as snarky as it does....forgive me. But it does make me think.... Where might the bride be going after the wedding? To the train station to commence the honeymoon? To a big whoop-de-do dinner after the ceremony? How might that affect things? It's not 'til like the 1830's that special wedding dresses come into play in the 1st place, isn't it? Remember in "Age of Innocence" [1870's] it was expected that May should again wear her wedding dress at least once in the 1st year of marriage. She wears it to the opera, so it was no day dress. For "Nicholas Nickleby" the idea of a sleeveless dress for any occasion at all is strange. Was this the film that came out a couple of years ago. That thing had some of the worst, laziest costuming I've ever seen! The 8 hour stage production on film from the 1980's has much superior costumes. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
