Downton Abbey

Masterpiece Theater (BBC) has made some pretty amazing productions over the years. Their historical productions are so fascinating, and the costumes are great!  Which brings me to my topic for this post:

Downton Abbey

It's a great show, near the end of the second season.  For a bit of a refresher, we watched the entire first season today.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any good publicity shots or film stills that I could put on here, but here's some costume inspiration from the time period to drool over...(all are pinnable!)

Formal wear in the 19 teens.

Look at the fancy beadwork!

I love this one!

A hat. A lot of hats from this time period were very large, and loaded with decorations, like this one.

This one is a day dress. I love the stripes on the skirt.

A walking dress or suit, but still with feminine style.

An evening dress. Black, but not necessarily for mourning.

Here's a bonus for fans of Downton Abbey and BBC (these crack me up every time):
