Holy Mother of Historical Inaccuracies (Dirty Dancing)

Their dresses are regency era (1795-1820) so the short sleeve pink dress and the corset aren’t accurate and the lack of corset . bonnets and reasonable knickers make my inner historian a bit itchy and not to mention the fact that’s its an option to wear your hair down without a hat which was seen as improper at the time and it was only done by… harlots

I just feel like the team could’ve done much more research into outfits because they can do great with the stuff they have but they missed a few key parts (and the fact that high class regency era ladies would probably wear asbestos dresses like this one )
