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 wasn't snarking, merely asking for information. I thought the bare
shoulders were wrong for the period, even as "extreme" fashion, and
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.
something along the lines of "everyone remembers their version of the story
so I have to be different." Sometimes it ends up just being difference for

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
Yes, that is a great book, and I almost cited it, too.

I gave up on snarking at movie costumes many years ago. Movies are
fiction. They are not documentaries, they are not meant to be
educational, and they are not made primarily for viewing by historic
reenactors. In many, much of the history itself is, at best, speculation.
I don't watch movies
Some of my Facebook friends are following. No one shoulder bare, or many, many,
other things. I know it's theater, but even allowing for that, seems very
weird. My opinion is, even though it is a story, it is based so firmly in a
historical time and place, it seems downright strange to go off
