my favorite period drama costuming anachronisms:

• men are just walking around with their doublets half open at like, formal court events. who let these harlots in.
• Shoes Are For Pussies, Real Men Wear Boots
• that’s not how corsets work
• oh ok so we’re just gonna ignore the existence of shifts when it’s not convenient for us. i see how it is.
• her dress says period, but her hair says mid 2000s prom
• there seems to be a pants shortage in the kingdom, for the only ones left are skintight leather pants!
• holy orientalism batman
• catholics wearing subdued colors and limited decoration, like goddamn protestants
• we get it, you don’t want the romantic leads to look silly in period accurate outfits. but if you don’t know how to make a codpiece look sexy, that’s on you.
