Oh this is one of my all time favourite books :) I was lucky enough that
even though the library it was housed in wasn't part of the system I was on
I could still go to the library and read it. Seriously, one city, seven
regional councils, with different systems, and books split between them.

It's a great book. Every historical costumer who loves movies should
own a copy.

I don't see it as snarking either, the costume stills I've seen look
particularly bad, especially for what one is used to seeing for BBC period
productions. But the one shoulder evening dress, so odd, looks so modern

I haven't seen this movie but I feel like movie costumes run on cycles of
fashion that can be just as reactionary as fashions in everyday life.

I gave up on snarking at movie costumes many years ago. Movies are

of fancy. Wonder if there will be a "making of" wherein it is explained?
