Hello again! Too many comments to address each individually so thank you all so much for visiting and adding to the conversation.
I do love the scene with Scarlet and the drapes. Also love that Rhett calls ends up recognizing the fabric and calling her on it!
We are a bit too casual nowadays and there is some value to knowing what clothes to wear for the right occasion to be taken seriously. As much as I love being able to wear jeans for almost any occasion, it seemed people do act more courteous and restrained when dressed more formally and a little more of that wouldn't be a bad thing sometimes! :)
Shirley - I attended the RT convention in Los Angeles last year for the first time and I think some of the costumes could rival those crazy ones in Hollywood. I made the mistake of buying fairy wings with glitter--so much glitter! :)
Morning and thanks for having me here! And hello to all the early commenters. The Tang Dynasty is a great period in terms of stunning clothes. I've bought two robes myself and I must say I do feel like a princess when I wear them, you know, like around the house just because :)
Karen - I love stories set in China too! (okay, might be obvious there) Thanks for commenting.
Pam - Katherine Hepburn is one of my favorite icons. She was known for wearing sporty "men's" clothing and was strong and independent, but still very feminine.
Julie - I read an Eloisa James (Duchess by Night?) where the reverse happens and this fine lady masquerades as a young man and finds wearing pants absolutely freeing.
