But the curling iron curls and the highlights and layered colors, that's too much. <br /><br />But it's silly to upset a show in a specific era if they're not going to utilize the costumes, hair styles, food, customs, or attitudes of the day. Like if in Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman everyone in their small western town was immediately totally fine with a woman doctor.

Costs would have come down if they were not blow drying all those tresses and could have been spent on hats!!!! Not only would women 15 up have their hair up but outdoors always wear a hat and gloves for fear of being considered a floozy. Men like wise, hat or cap if they according to class with or without button-on stiff white collars. And all those shiny white teeth, cringe! Even rich people didn't have that many clothes so this parade of bad choices is not just a budget problem, it is woeful lack of knowledge hat had easily been fixed with a bit of research. I'm sure plenty of students would have loved to have done it for little compensation instead of bungling it up so badly that it is annoying to a degree that I'm done halfway season 2. Longing for DR Quinn and little house on the prairie. also inaccurate in places but not as bad at this.

I am only in the 3rd show of Season 2, but I can take it no more--going to jump ahead to Season 3 and see if anything improves (I understand they hired a new costume designer for that season).<br /><br />I did read an interview with the new ^^ costume designer. She said Hallmark pays a pittance toward costumes, so she has to go shopping at stores like Macy's and then tailor the modern clothing to look old-fashioned.<br /><br />Personally I think she would be better off going to thrift shops like Salvation Army and Goodwill, as the older fabrics pre-1990s were more authentic and less synthetic.<br /><br />About the hair, there's nothing more to be said than what has already been mentioned.<br /><br />What a mess Hallmark Jade of what could have been a pretty good series.kimanjomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451736184596959186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649210952082155310.post-68772147140326921892017-06-27T14:55:31.096+01:002017-06-27T14:55:31.096+01:00How lovely!

When would these women have had time to worry about all that, as well as time to wash and iron all those changes of clothes. The pastel colors, white lace blouses, synthetic fabrics, etc. are so inappropriate - especially for everyday wear. Not to mention they don't match the time period at all. Also, the things they say are current phrases, like "Have a nice day" and "Way to go". Come on Hallmark, put a little effort into this show because I really enjoy it otherwise and they have a huge fan base.

That being said the costumes hair discussion of makeup drives me nuts. Half of the men look as if the costume Department told them to go to Men's Wearhouse and buy a suit and some nice shirts. By comparison my husband and I love watching Murdoch Mysteries which take place in the identical time. By contrast Murdoch Mysteries costuming Hair Etcetera are carefully historically accurate which makes watching When Calls the Heart that much more jarring. I had seen clips of the show previously and had no idea what timeperiod it was and thought it was much more modern because the the costuming and Hair Design.

I laughed out loud when one of the ladies fussed about not having makeup for a party. Isn't this set in the 1910s, in a poor town in rural Canada? Then there is the widow Mary, who is a brunette in Season 1 but during her wedding in Season 2 is an unnatural shade of blonde. And all the references to the US when they are supposed to be Canadian. I understand that staying more accurate to the time and place can push the budget up, so they may need to cut corners here and there. But there are some important details they can get right without spending more money. Too many of these mistakes can ruin the atmosphere of the show.<br />I appreciate the work they've done, but if they do not strive for at least Season 1 level then I can't watch further. Hallmark and all these "family entertainment" channels love to dumb things down for the audience...I hope they realize that isn't necessary.Edienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649210952082155310.post-82370494677955905732017-03-31T02:37:09.562+01:002017-03-31T02:37:09.562+01:00So many details in that house!
