Dressing up (and for that matter, just plain dressing civilly) is by default neither expensive nor uncomfortable. Grow up people!

ETA: You know how I sort of think I've lost my edge since becoming gluten-free and not being celiac cranky all the time? Hahahahaah. Clearly, the Snape-ish nastiness is still in full effect. This stuff makes me CRAZY.

And I'm all about theatre being for the masses, but it comes back to doing your best as appropriate to the occassion. The masses didn't have and couldn't access better than -- we can now. That's the "reward" of mass production at the expense of many artisan creations and a more formal society. That we don't even take advantage of what we have wrought makes me NUTS.

The masses were dead at 30 from plague and childbirth. We have time to buy dresses at Goodwill or Forever 21 or whatever.
