I'd have to dig up the reference, but the robe and particularly the hair
(yes, the butt-hair) were based on 15th-century Romanian burial costume.
I'm pretty sure the book of the costumes said they were based on
Kabuki costume rather than anything European. That said Lucy's wedding
dress I'm sure was based on a portrait in 20,000 Years of Fashion and
is early-mid 17thC. I just saw it again recently online.... I also
found a similar painting which shows it was a fashion of some
particular place and time.
And the same artist too. I recognised that in the film - nothing to
do with Romania, Transylvania, and the 19th century, but hey, this is
fiction, right?
And the book said it was based on something
else.
