the hair is supposed to be worn up not down during the day with a center part. The head must be covered when outside. Dresses during the day had a high neckline not this off the shoulders bust spilling out look. Evening dresses had low necklines but not that low. Really people you should have done better research! Plus the costume (wardrobe) designer should have known better! There is a lot of photographic evidence, books, and museums that you can go to, to get the answers. If you want it done right hire the people who eat sleep breathe this stuff every weekend during the summer. You make us look bad... sure the hobby is expensive however we do put a lot of time and effort into researching images of period dresses, materials, sewing techniques, head ware (hats & bonnets) and drafting patterns from the original dresses. Some of these dresses are pure eye candy, yes we metaphorically drool over exquisite dresses and gorgeous fabrics. It takes me at least SIX MONTHS to sew one of my dresses.
