Did anyone ever actually see them wear lavender?
Just wondering. :)
shareI didn't see them wear lavender but I think there was lavender in the bouquets that Andrea gave the sisters.
"I'll tell ya in a minute".
In lavender means out-of-fashion. I think that's what the title means.
As the saying goes... the time to make up your mind about people is never
Yes, I agree with you. A bit like "mothballs" (less poetic !).
The two sisters lived a semi-retired life on their own, they aged before knowing love...
Actually, I think it has a different meaning. I would say that it's all about the colour lavender - often worn by older ladies and a favourite flower of women (especially older women). For me, 'ladies in lavender' connotes feminity and elegance. Although they don't actually dress in the colour, the title brings to mind older women - the title tells us that the film is going to feature ladies of a certain age, who perhaps have an old-fashioned elegance about them. Only my opinion, of course - I think things often have many meanings.
shareJust fyi, from Wikipedia:
"The title is a play on words of the phrase 'Lace in Lavender' and refers to the custom of sprinkling dried lavender among clothing packed in storage to keep it smelling fresh and keeping moths away."
I actually thought it was some kind of reference to the phrase "laid out in lavender," aka laid out for burial.
Either way it seems pretty apropos for the theme of the film.
