Yes, it was a transitional period in the 1790s, but this was mostly a mash up, not a transitional period. A lot of things are wrong, but some things are very right. <br /><br />https://www.frockflicks.com/becoming-jane/<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129024732653900038.post-56973139964958408512018-05-16T23:35:21.633+08:002018-05-16T23:35:21.633+08:00This discussion led me to do some research that I ...This discussion led me to do some research that I had wanted to do – about LADIES FASHIONS.<br /><br />First, it was necessary to watch the film “Becoming Jane” again to take notice of the fashions. In recent years I have wanted to make some Ladies Fashions for “Ladies” as compared to “sluts and whores” etc – if you get my drift. The Ladies should be the EQUAL (but not the same) of GENTLEMEN when it comes to clothes.<br /><br />Second, I researched the book I had of my home town in the 1900s where the “Ladies” were always “covered” from neck to toe. When I found that book, I was taken completely by surprise when I discovered several other books that I had collected from exhibits of Napoleon, etc. So I had quite an excursion into the Jane Austen era. <br /><br />Third, Lo and Behold! I found that the movie was correct in depicting the costumes with low bodice fronts and backs, etc. So now I really must begin my “House of Ladies Fashions”!<br /><br />So, in my opinion Woman Scorned is wrong because the gowns do fit the era. I find that the costumes are correct for the era, whether I like them or not.<br /><br />Yrs aff’ly,<br />Linda the Librarian<br />Linda Broemelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129024732653900038.post-40251272115540103002018-05-15T04:06:05.932+08:002018-05-15T04:06:05.932+08:00I find it interesting that people can forget manne...I find it interesting that people can forget manners when voicing their opinions. Yes, now we understand that some costumes were not perfect, but they are still beautiful nonetheless. Regardless of that, your manner, Madame, in voicing your opinion here is totally unwelcome. I can take that people disagree at times, but rudeness should not stand next to logic and the spirit of discussion.
