I've been wondering about the accuracy of the costumes on the tv show "Christy" - I've been watching it on dvd. While I enjoy the stories, I've seen a few things that seem to scream "wrong era" and I wondered what other people think - who are more familiar with the stated time (1912) and place (Appalachia/Smokey Mountains, USA). In the pilot, Tyne Daily seems to be actually wearing a corset, and the title character Christy played by Kelly Martin seems to be wearing good outfits, but with the wrong silhouette. Some of the accessories, like hats, seem to cover a good many decades - which given the economic situation (extremely poor) that might be accurate. Very poor people would tend to keep wearing the one hat they own, even if it was far out of fashion, I think.
