I don't have Rebecca, so I haven't read the books, but from what I know of her character, this dress is extremely inaccurate historically!
She is an orthodox girl from an orthodox family, right? Even if she is struggling with that, an orthodox girl would *never* wear a sleeveless dress like this.
Also, most people don't realize this, but most orthodox Jews wouldn't wear a Fleur de Lys- I'm not entirely sure of the reason- but this is definitely something I had a visceral reaction to when I saw it. (as in- but she's meant to be Jewish- how could they put her in that)
