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 have three seasons of it, and I LOVE IT!! It was a lot of fun seeing them design and make those fashionable dresses, and then wearing the avantgarde ones themselves to set the style.
I took some photos of some costumes and hats off the tv screen while on pause too. I so would want to make and wear clothes of that era.

It's rare when I see a show that pulls me in so completely. I love ALL the characters! When I got to the end of my installment, I shouted, "NOOOOOOO!" at the TV because I wanted it to go on and on and on forever.

A few years ago the V&A had an exhibition of the costumes from the series. Made me smile to see that the fake 20's gowns were more popular than the real ones just around the corner of the gallery...
