My Father's Glory: Augustine's Dresses & a Quiet Kind of Strength

Okay, so I just watched "My Father's Glory" and while everyone's always talking about Marcel and his relationship with his father, I was completely captivated by Augustine, his mom. More specifically, her clothes! I mean, she's a seamstress, so obviously she's going to be well-dressed, but it's more than that. It felt like her clothing subtly reflects her inner strength and also her ability to navigate this very male-dominated world. Think about it: she's constantly surrounded by Joseph and Uncle Jules, these intellectual-types, but she's the one grounding them. Remember when they're preparing for their hike in the mountains, and she's efficiently packing, worrying about practical things like food and sunburn, while the men are off in their scientific worlds? Her simple, but always elegant dresses during those scenes weren't just pretty, they really emphasized her role. The fabrics looked durable (practical for hiking!), and the colors kept her warm in tone, never stealing shine from her personality, but enhancing it. I especially loved the cream dress she wore when they celebrated their first summer in the countryside; so beautiful and perfect for a relaxed celebration. And honestly, it makes sense that Marcel would admire his father, but I think Augustine is the unsung hero of the film. She's the one holding everything together. My theory is that Augustine's character arc is visually expressed through her clothing. As Marcel grows and she becomes more confident in her role, her sense of style does too. I feel like they tell her story as much (or more) than the script does! What do you guys think? Am I reading too much into her dresses, or did anyone else notice how significant they felt?
