I've always wanted to see a dress that wasn't so much hideously ugly, but perhaps a bit racy and shocking for the time and place. Maybe this might be part of the reason that the dress' original owner was sent to a convent. And why the poor didn't want it. The Captain's disdain for the dress could then be about how inappropriate it is for a governess to wear around children. I've never thought the Captain would care that a dress was ugly (he probably wouldn't even notice), as long as it was appropriate dress for the situation.

I see nothing at all wrong with the dress in the film and it seems right for a young woman spending the day traveling. And it fits her perfectly, something I wouldn't expect a random dress from a random girl at the convent to do.
