I honestly wasn't paying attention to the lack of head coverings in church. I probably should have noticed and just didn't. I was more focused on the "oh rags! poor people! That looks just like that sketch of the German Peasants!"

As for back-lacing, I have seen evidence of it in England as early as the 1490's so that didn't phase me at all. Also, I figured the green dress in the movie was after this one (http://www.wga.hu/art/c/cranach/lucas_e/5/12woman.jpg) although, loosely. Given the lack of front lacing, and many other examples of gowns (http://www.wga.hu/art/h/holbein/hans_y/1518/2barbara.jpg) without front or side lacing (http://www.abcgallery.com/C/cranach/cranach5.html) apparent, it seems logical to assume that some sort of back lacing was used, at least from a theatrical point of view. Now, I could be very wrong, but, like I said, it was used early on (http://www.kimiko1.com/research-16th/TudorWomen/1500/H8June.html) in England. There's also evidence of side back, at least, lacing in Italy.

For metal grommets, just to be evil (because I'm good at that!), this painting looks to show a lady with decorative (http://www.festiveattyre.com/research/florentine/images/floren4.jpg) metal grommets.
