taking the time to appreciate italian renaissance choice of era and clothing aesthetics

every other period set time reverse/villainess/isekai has either used a mismatched, all things thrown together, stylised medieval, victorian, or roccoco clothings, sometimes even the mix between the three. some are really disdainful to see and took me out of the story at hand. but this is so.
..ugh tudor and italian renaissance are my favourite silhouette and the florentine dresses on the women here is so gorgeous and the closest to being period accurate. even down to the hair is styled very similarly to the women in the show "the borgias". the rival to this accuracy is "a stepmothers marchen" doing 1 hell of a good job illustrating pre world war 1 baroque holy roman empire style clothings. i just....really appreciate the garment and silhouette choice, literally my first time seeing the usage of florentine renaissance in this heaps of similarly troped webtoon. love it

    yes and the choice of naming are also rather italian with the exceptions of some who falls to the medieval fantasy name generator-esque (dad gallahan and estira) hahaha

    Aaah I thought I was the only one that thinks that some isekai stories don't make sense with their clothing. I mean it looks good and fits the charavters but idk about their supposed story setting while this one looks a lot more like out of a specific era although I don't know which one and it obviously is not exact to that but still
