Frock Flicks provides examples of the following tropes:

• Anachronism Stew: Frequently observed in the productions they review.
• Berserk Button: Quite a few, including:
  • The Great Bobby Pin Shortage, in which women are depicted with their hair down in times when that would not have been acceptable.
  • Women hiking up their skirts unnecessarily.
  • Men wearing outdoor boots indoors, apparently just for the look.
  • Bangs, or fringes, hanging over foreheads.
  • Unfortunate Bigginses, or coifs worn by themselves rather than under a more substantial hat.
• Gorgeous Period Dress: This is the central focus of the site.
• World of Snark: The whole writing team. They even have an annual Snark Week
