Your comment on unreal colors reminded me of the movie "Angels and
Insects". While I think the cut of the women's dresses therein was
fairly accurate (mid 19th c, as I recall), the colors and patterns did
not appear to my slightly trained eye to be so, but I thought it was a

I think it was pretty clear in part 2 that the costumes (esp. women's) were
fantasy intrepretations, barely based on anything historical. I have to
admit that I loved the punk hair and the "v
