Biltmore Estate has another exhibit with the actual costumes from the movie (haven’t gone yet.)
I saw the original exhibit with costumes from the series, and it’s a wonder that I wasn’t thrown out for touching the fabrics. After hand-sewing two silk Tudor costumes for Daughter #2 back in the day (Madrigal singers), I’m fascinated by costume.
Irrelevant note of the day: from the costumes in the first exhibit, I’m at least an inch taller than Hugh Bonneville (Robert Crawley.) No way he’s 6’2”. If he is, I missed out on a career in the WNBA.
I have not seen the show but saw the exhibit at Biltmore in December. Loved seeing all the costumes, but my mom said the setup was much better when she saw it in Miami.
