the 1830s

Hey, this might explain at least one and possibly two other things that I was wondering about...

The original story was published in 1865 after being told to Alice Liddell in 1862. I was wondering why the movie made such a point, early on, of establishing that this movie's Alice was *not* Alice Liddell. Making Alice a different Alice enables the movie to change the timeframe.

Early in the movie, Alice's mother scolds her for not wearing a corset. I was astonished that a young woman of marriageable age would even own a dress that could be worn without a corset. Would this be less of a problem in the 1830's than the 1860's?
