What does it mean to say that during the elizabethan age, costuming was "anachronistic"? costumes did not necessarily match the time period in which the drama was set. costumes were only worn during performances for the queen. dressing for a part did not become popular until much later. all elizabethan actors wore the same costume, no matter the performance.

Although Elizabethen actors may have worn the same costume no matter the performance, the style of the clothing (dresses, suits, etc) was anachronistic because the costumes matched the period of time that the play was being held, for example actors may have dressed differently in the 1560's compared to the same show in the early 1600s. The srtyle changed with the time period but the play was the same.

i think its a bad thing why? one word flood
