How comfortable people are dragging their nice clothes/long coats/shoes into water and mud. How many times you see a woman in a period piece with this long flowing dress, traipsing through a big muddy area and not even attempting to hold her dress up out of it. like, c’mon, man. People in movies just don’t care about having wet socks I guess.
There’s a Youtuber named Bernadette Banner who does a lot of antique style sewing and fashion and such. She made a replica of the white dress Mary Poppins wears in the cartoon segment of the movie. At the end of the video, she frolicked in the park in it. The next video was the 3 day process of period accurate washing it. She followed a manual written back in the day, and omitted the gasoline(!) the detergent recipe called for.

Not to mention that for period pieces especially that’s probably one of only like three dresses/pants they own, if they’re relatively well-off.
