Also, Gillian Anderson's corsets were wrong. Edwardian ladies wore flat-front S-Curve designs that made your butt stick out.

Wow, I forgot about that shit show. Corsets aren't tight enough again. Women were OCD about their wasteline. And if Nicole Kidman can tightlace for Moulin Rouge she could have done it for that too.

Neo-Victorian, again. Made for looks, made to reflect a graphic novel.

Ok, what about First Knight, then?

NOW WE'RE TALKING.

First of all, my mother hates this movie because she didn't agree with Richard Gere being Lancelot. Second of all, all costumes in that movie is a representation of it trying to look "period" and "fantasy" at the same time resulting in a horrible mish mash of stuff that looks more like it belongs in the Gunne Sax 1972 Spring Collection.



I don't know what this is. Connery looks like he's wearing an oversized sweater from 1989 and Julia Ormond is wearing drapery. Nothing, ever, in any historical period up to the 16th century would there have been deliberate pleating and braiding like that. It's a waste of time, and the clothing wouldn't have been able to be altered. Something like that is a very 19th century view of medieval clothing, they wanted everything to be more romantic and yet still similar to what they were wearing as Victorians that this is the shit they came up with.

Bitch all you want that the Arthurian Legends have no precise period and that they are "fantasy" but if Monty Python can pull off historically accurate early medieval garb for The Holy Grail, so can everyone else.

Also the swordfighting was terrible in First Knight. Someone should have shot them all.

Conan I & II.  Specifically the fight scenes.

(I know it's not a costume thing, but this ought to drive her right around the bend.)
