Self Styled?

Here is a 1910 installment of Dandies of the Stage. From "Beaunash's" little critique below, it seems that stage actors in performances with contemporary settings were, at times, responsible for styling their own costumes. Naturally, this resulted in some rather confused ensembles. I wonder if, as the film industry developed, the meticulously crafted male wardrobes featured in motion pictures, encouraged live theater costumers to dress their contemporary characters a little more carefully.
