DVD- The House of Elliot

[madamemodiste]

I put the BBC series The House of Elliot on my queue, and I watched my first installment last night. WOW!! I'm really in love with this series! As it's about two sisters who start a fashion house in the 1920's, I thought it was an appropriate topic for my sewing journal.

Has anyone else seen it and want to share how fun this series is?

I adore that series! I bought a 20's-esque dress chiefly because it reminded me of that series.

IMHO, the later seasons weren't so good, but other viewers disagreed, so here's hoping you'll be one of them!

Yay!

And it seems some of my other readers felt the same way as you, and the later seasons weren't as good. At least I'm prepared!

I enjoyed ALL of the three seasons. Later you didn't get the thrill of seeing new gowns being made, or a fashion show, but it still was a fun series. So enjoy it!

Oh, ok, I've got it now. Later seasons were just different, but still good. YAY!

Always a good thing!

WOW! That's really beautiful!

I haven't gotten to the part where they have a collection yet. They've just moved into the flat above the photo studio and are painting it.

:-) Well, I think when you get to that bit, you'll see what I mean about this dress! I always think of it as my "House of Elliot" dress.
