chocolatepotWatching Madame Bovary this evening and trying not to yell at the screen. "You can't get out of your dress yourself? Why? Oh, because your day dress laces up the back LIKE YOU'RE AN IDIOT?? Why is your shawl rectangular? Why does your bonnet have a weird back cutout?" If only the movie had been widely criticized, then I'd be able to appreciate how artistic it is.
Why is she affluent enough to have a white wedding dress, but only has one day dress? Why is she doing embroidery by a small flame when there's perfectly good daylight coming in? Why does she look 1840s but have fashion plates from the 1860s and even 1880s and 1890s??
It does get better, though. About halfway through the clothing is exotic and costumey enough that accuracy stops mattering at all.
It's upsetting how fat I look in this pair of sports bras. Eddie Izzard was right, breasts are great because they give you that concavity underneath. Plus when being proportionally busty is part of your self-image, seeing yourself flat and waistless is very strange.
Cut out my 1 hour dress. BREATHE. It's so slippery, I'm going to have to sew it by hand, I think. :/ Otherwise I'll end up spending just as much time fussing with the machine and unpicking and reading. Right? It's six seams and a few hems. Pinning it was a huge chore.
