This was my problem with the latest Marie Antionette. The women's hair in
general was way off. The film people seem to make decisions of
Costume that must bow to present aesthitcs...that, and the need to use
modern music in case the viewers might have missed a contemporary
mood/thought about MA being a Modern woman.

I think what really bothers me is when some costumes are authentic or at
least close and others are so far off as to be "fantasy". The mens' costumes
in The Tudors look close, but the women's, with the loose hair, bare
arms/shoulders, are further out. To me, they don't match stylistically and
that jars.

Well said! I think most of us can appreciate "it's theatre," so long as
everyone involved admits that is what it is.
