This is @fourredshoes Regency screen costume benchmark: the Beethoven scene from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. If a production's main costumes are less well done than those of the extras in a minor part of a 1980s teen comedy movie, we have a problem.
PASS OR FAIL?
We have been quiet.
We have had *a year*.
But! We have also written another book full of Regency goodness, another prop for an already very high horse from which to look loftily upon screen productions and Test them. Or something.
Have a good one, costuming compadres!
OMG! Can you imagine if expert historians, like, took to Twitter to present their knowledge in alternative forms that were also fun and engaging and tapped into things people already enjoy??? Madness!!
It's time for another of those tweets where we promise really truly that there will be more content at some point, and then probably more months' silence. Let's find out!!
We had nothing to do with this, honest:
'There’s not even an attempt to be accurate here – [the] costumes only look like Regency dress if you’d somehow been led to believe that the pages of this month’s Tatler magazine had been shot out of a time machine.

LOLLZZZZZZZ!
Answer me this @BillAndTedTest, why is Elizabeth running around outside in her underwear? Barefoot? #AskingForAFriend #PrideandPrejudice
Another month; another memo going round Bill and Ted Towers that truly, this will be the one that we resume posting. And yet, we don't. #twitterennui.

On the anniversary of his death, your annual reminder that Napoleon gave up politics to become Rod Stewart.
Having now watched all of #bridgertonS2, this thread still holds. Bad boobs; and Simone Ashley's corset doesn't fit her. No wonder it hurt. At least Nicola Coughlin's waist doesn't start at her nipples this time. Bad design!
An excellent point! Noted
Showed up on my IG stories today! instagram.com/stories/corset…
That said, they're industry pros, and I'm more inclined to think this is just carefully orchestrated PR designed for outrage clicks more than an actual costume issue.
IF IT HURTS THAT MUCH IT IS NOT AN 'HISTORICALLY ACCURATE' REGENCY CORSET.
Who is making and fitting these?

Correct! The whole and sole purpose of this account is to critique Regency costume on screen, so 'again' is going to happen a lot here.

Extremely inaccurate #Bridgerton detail: it is not possible to have a corgi anywhere near you without also being covered head to toe in stray corgi fur. I want to know what kind of super-strength lint roller existed in the Regency period.
