"A Knight's Tale" is a great example. I don't know much about the period, but most of the costumes seemed okay. Except for the female lead. She stuck out like a sore thumb. I especially remember the hat that looked like something from "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

I'm willing to give designers a lot of credit if they can use and successfully hide modern techniques because they're practical. A performance venue, whether it's stage, screen or something interactive like historical faire, is a performance venue. There's still a point at which I can't suspend disbelief anymore. I think the worst case is when there's obviously been a lot of work put into accuracy, and one or two costumes (the stars', usually) just don't match. andy _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
