recycledmoviecostumes:Sometimes costumes are reused as part of the story line in the show in which they appear. Downton Abbey costume designer Anna Mary Scott Robbins was tasked with creating costumes for a fashion show in fifth season. The gown was first worn on an extra as a model, and then again in the next episode on Michelle Dockery as Lady Mary after she purchases the dress.Robbins says of the dress: “We bought a beautifully embellished tea dress, that was nigh on a hundred years old, that was very delicate, and we spent a couple of weeks restoring it, re-beading where it had fallen apart and re-backing it to make it more robust. It was black and white, entirely beaded with flowers on it, with sort of scallops on the bottom. And it’s quite cutting-edge because it was just below the knee.”You can read more about Downton Abbey costumes at the Slideshow: Secrets of the Catwalk article.
