With regards to Downton, loved almost every outfit (worn by the upstairs folks anyway)!Charleybrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411948723536117366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33189102.post-5663323372211261932011-01-17T18:11:18.286-05:002011-01-17T18:11:18.286-05:00I chose both.

I just love costume dramas. I imagine being in all those lovely costumes gets the cast in character faster.<br /><br />BTW, I went crazy tonight at 9 P.M. DirectTV had technical problems.I only saw 5 minutes of the second episode, the last scene.

Not a big fan of the bonnets, though... <br /><br />I did love the costumes in Downton Abbey as well, but I thought they looked very modern.
