Two of my favorite plays ever!
 
The class of people you are dealing with here would be fashionable along  the 
lines of the rest of Europe. But of course it's fun and appropriate to  
include "regional" details. 
 
When I did "Doll's House" I used a lot of forest green wool on Nora's 1st  
outfit. And as  her dilemma progresses, I had her start overdressing,  dressing 
for her husband...his "little squirrel" or whatever he calls her.  Things got 
more girly and ruffled and fringed. Then by the time Nora comes  around, she's 
dressed up in her fancy dress outfita costumey Italian Peasant  outfit to 
dance the Tarantella in and Torvald is in evening wear. I thought of  it as a 
sorta Don Giovanni moment, she the "peasant wench" being patronized by  the 
upper class man and she realizes it. Then for her big exit, she's  back to 
the sober clothes of the beginning [I used the same coat she wore when  she 
came in from shopping in Act One.]
 
I'm sorryI didn't mean to tell you how to design the show, but I love  
this play and was very pleased with my results when I did it...so I'll  
share

I would say from this that they were somewhat up of the style.

I will be doing Ibsen's "Doll's House" and "Hedda Gabler" this fall and need
pictorial sources for fashions in 19th cent. Norway.  "Doll's House" is 1879
and "Hedda" is 1890. Was Norway doing the same stuff as America & Western
Europe? Colors? Fabrics? Any and all help would be appreciated!
 (Also would like to know about the interior archecture of the times as I
have to do the set, too.)
