Do you like the dresses worn in the photos? Are they properly old fashioned?

Question

The character Charley's Aunt is supposed to be behind the time in fashion.

Answer 1

That is a very pretty dress, and seems to be authentic, although the picture is too small to properly judge. Make sure, since you are trying to be old fashioned, not to use a zipper. Clothing had ties, buttons, or hook and eyes back then, not zippers.

Answer 2

Sometimes it's OK to be outdated. Things come back in style all the time. Old fashioned clothing is classy and pretty.

Answer 3

I love authentic period costumes. My daughter had three antebellum dresses with hoop skirts she wore when she worked at Beauvoir in Biloxi. They were carried away in the storm surge of Katrina.
