Did any list members in the UK see the new BBC dramatization of "War and Peace" on Sunday? I know ladies' gowns of that period (1805) were inspired by classical draperies, but would it really have been acceptable to wear an asymmetrical dress leaving one shoulder bare? There were at least two examples of evening gowns in this style as well as some with narrow shoulder straps which seemed jarringly modern to me.
