I've never seen crinolin worn on the outside of a bodice ever! At least not until the 60s when they started putting lite cages on the outside hips to make dresses look like a futuristic space costume. I can't get my head around the inaccuracy of Maria's dress. The rest of the movie is fantastic! The sets are incredibly wonderful and creative! The actors portray the emotions and intensity of the situations wonderfully. I haven't read the book, but movies are never the same as the imagination of someone who is reading the story anyway. The movie now has me interested in checking the book out. Movies are one way I use to build my library!
