Okay for 1951 the period costuming in Olivia is stunning? And the silhouettes of bodices and skirts, though very clearly worn over 20th century undergarments, were pretty historically adequate for the late 19th century if we ignore the bullet bras and girdles?
According to Wikipedia, the real life inspirations for Mlle Julie and Mlle Cara split in 1883, which is right around where I was guessing the film was set based on bustle and skirt styles. It’s just always so refreshing to see research behind costuming, as opposed to a lot of “Victorian” costuming in the late 20th (and 21st let’s be real) film/tv. Half of the evening gowns looked straight out of a fashion plate from Godey’s—and they damn well might’ve been! (Or any notable French women’s magazine of the era, I do not speak French so I only have English publications on the top of my head. I think Le Mode Illustree was one? I might be making that up.)
Also, Wikipedia needs to uh. Subtitle their entry for the novel anything else. Even if it is the author’s last name, this was a sucker punch to read:
