He’s the only reason I’m going to see it, as I thought the first movie in the series was so tacky and terrible that I didn’t bother to see the second one. I’m particularly sad about that one — it was only shown once at a film festival, & I’ve been waiting for a wider release for over a year :(That’s too bad. ENJOY! !With the exception of Belgravia, there is nothing here that interests me. Also not one woman has her hair down. Thanks so much for letting us know what to look forward to!Is the Green Knight Too fantasy-y to qualify as a frock flick? The twist which I’m guessing at is fine, but it does depend on how it’s done. I like romance, but those two were like paper dolls. Her website, Démodé Couture, is one of the most well-known online resources for historical costumers. I have been obsessed with both stories since I heard about them on Stuff You Missed in History Class.I watched an interview with Octavia S. recently; I can’t wait to see her as Madam Walker, also Judi Dench as Madame Arcati. 21K likes. I ended up having to use more and more petticoats, which was a problem for the actresses because the weight of the petticoats was, to some of them, unbearable. I am grateful I have access to Netflix, Prime, and Apple TV now. Curious about Secret Garden, David Copperfield, and Blithe Spirit (looks pretty funny).

There was a different ‘Nightingale’ late last year that was set in the mid-19th-c. & was a very dark story.I am very excited about the Madam CJ Walker movie, whether in the theater or VOD.I would suggest that anyone who watches The Last Vermeer read The Man Who Made Vermeers by Jonathan Lopez (Loved the David Copperfield – very glad I got to see it before everything went pear-shaped. I absolutely love her in costume dramas, she has a period look that suits them well.Not sure why they are releasing three of these things on March 20th. Found it interesting that he made one fairly major adjustment to the story and it was a good one; made the plot point much more believable.Loved the acting, particularly from the women.

She can do everything.I tried reading the book and just couldn’t get in to the story. The ‘breeding pair’ were incredibly dull. He told Anne Trenchard “was probably wealthier than a lot of people because of her husband’s business [as a property developer], so she wears very expensive clothes,” but Mrs. Trenchard wears a lot of dull stripes, like this outfit, recycled from A different outfit, but a similar vein — I’m not loving the fit, but that kind of stress wrinkles are hard to avoid in this era.Her ballgown is definitely fancy, but tasteful — note the higher neckline than you COULD see, and the beautiful lace.


The place for historical costume fans who have a love/hate relationship with historical costume movies. Of the cast listed, I am fan girling over Saruman’s niece, Harriet Walter. Sad times, when we NEED entertainment!And Antebellem’s premiere was just post-phoned from April as of today with no ETA yet.I’m hoping all of you at FrockFlicks are well and have enough food and staples during this COVD plague.Now I’m looking forward to Self-Made, Radioactive, Robert the Bruce (hopefully based on the Traintor trilogy of books), Belgravia, World on Fire, Last Vermeer (I’m familiar with the Nazi forgeries) and De Gaulle. The funniest moment for me is a 1840s girl being disenchanted because her fiance has no interest in traveling to India, and will only go as far as Madrid.Not the era is the problem here but the costume design. The Last Vermeer looks very interesting, but that overblown music in the trailer makes it seem like it will be cheesy. Maybe some of that is that I can’t take the crazy 1830s sleeves and hair, and I wouldn’t want to be in hoops all day, so it nabs me partly for practical reasons. I”mm looking forward to it.I am looking forward to most of these, but especially The Great. There’s so many good shows on there, and I need to be able to see Miss Fisher!We had tickets for a screening as well that was cancelled.

She’s also an academic, with several articles on fashion history published in research journals.So, is the Robert the Bruce movie a direct sequel to Braveheart?Honestly I’m considering getting an Acorn subscription. Miss Fisher, I’ll stream, and last but not least Natalie Dormer in Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.Some of these have been postponed. Of course, it’s my Dickens Fair nightmare, but oh well.Maria’s mom’s bodice fit isn’t great either, maybe it’s genetic?Kendra has been a fixture in the online costuming world since the late 1990s.
