The Calling Birds: The Fourth Day

Not as good as the previous one. It's still delightful and cute, but...

There are things here that are just too stupid. The scene at the post office, Bernadette's situation, sewing dresses (no, you do not sew a 1876 dress in a day), her running in the forest in a 1876 dress - we are talking about a bustle dress, with a tight bodice and corset and a skirt with several layers, not much movement allowed in front, the bustle at back, these skirts are long and heavy and layered and about the most restrictive fashion since 17th century. But I suppose the authors of this otherwise delightful series are imagining stereotypes and basing their ideas of how these people dress in Western movies and masquerade costumes. I suppose they imagine Pearl strutting around wearing a “saloon girl” costume. Fishnets and a corset. She probably has her hair collected on top of her head in curls and wears an ostrich feather, too.
