      When wearing a hat, they kept it on at ALL times. Removing a hat would obviously display the dreadful hat hair concealed beneath. Upon returning home, & in no more need of the attire, they retreated to their room & removed their hat privately. There, they would retouch their hair, before forcing anyone to bare witness to such a hat hair atrocity! 😂 😂 Can you even imagine? Still.... I feel sorry for them, losing the only way they’d ever known. I’m certain they’d be appalled by my pity. As I’m not of position or wealth to sympathize. I still hurt for them....to watch it slip away between their fingers & w all that money I fluency and power, not be able to stop it. How sad.

      I want to wear high fashions of those ladies as they showed how a proper lady ought to dress. Complete with hair up, hat on, heeled shoes, corsets, starched petticoats, long skirts, and parasols. That is the idea of a real lady who knows how to look actually presentable to society and she will be scorned or disgraced or shamed for showing her thighs as it shows she is a woman with......loose morals. Keep the crop tops and booty shorts for the club and dress properly or else society will look at you and think you're something you're not.

      The mid 1900s post WW I was the Golden Age of Fashion and Design. The strict rules of the Victorian and Edwardian era are stripped off and the Freedom of Curves and Lace and Corsets are being snipped, stripped and thrown away. Fast forward to the 21st century and Fashion is falling backwards to more conservative and unconventional ways of Style. #BoldandBeautiful

      The new styles and cuts of the 20s did not require maids since there was no corsetry and the garments were composed of fewer pieces than Edwardian dress and with less shape, so they could be easily slipped on and off. Anna alludes to this when she packs dresses for Mary to take with her to the hotel with Gillingham; everything she gives Mary can be taken off and put on without help. People also pulled back on regular clothing changes after the war. You would have day clothes and evening clothes, same as we do now. You would change for special activities such as shooting or riding but that’s about it (arguably we also do this now with sportswear). Even in the series, Edith once comes to dinner in her day clothes and this doesn’t cause much disturbance.

      I bought my father a vintage robe and pajama set from the 30's - had it tailored as a 60th birthday gift: kept the pajamas, returned the robe. It was: "Too fancy, fabric too slippery to sit in [his] favorite chair, & too hot to wear in bed reading before going to sleep." Plus it reminded him of his dad - v. sharp dresser. Some styles aren't for everyone. .:sigh:.

    All dressed up, always being careful with soup and sauces, eating with gloves.
    Everybody watches you how and how much you eat.
    Afterwards hanging around with the family, and in the late evening, you undress with the help of your staff.
    I just love being on the couch in my night gown, having sandwiches and spaghetti with lots of sauce and a towel on my chest.

    The color and cut of a fox hunting also identifies where you are in the food chain.

      It’s actually not as expensive as Hollywood’s blockbusters, but the costumes and jewelry are precious indeed

    I think it's funny that Mary said she hates black because she wore it an awful lot.

      @@lisagray6148 Yes I see what you mean. Maybe she was jsut sick of wearing black in mourning and that is why she said she hated it at the time.

    I want those comfy loose clothes back... just less expensive and the people less squeamish about colour, patterns, jewellery, cut etc...being reserved for occasions.
