dress on backwards?


The scene where joan wrecks the room.......why is jennifers dress on backwards? Maybe the fifties were not as simple as it seems.

Think some were just made like that. The early kris kross?

If you noticed, the entire movie (basically) took place inside the house, and everyone was dressed to the nines, the women in gowns and the men in formal wear. I think the wardrobe department went a little over the top.

This was clearly a 'soaper' designed for a female audience, perhaps that's why the gowns almost became a character of their own.

It wasn't backwards. Many garments had their fasteners/zippers/buttons etc. in the back, in order to create a different look in the front, one continuous surface, uninterrupted and unbroken.

You're lucky to be living in the present.
