Guess which famous TV show this dress was worn in

A replica of this famous red c. 1930 Fortuny dress was worn in an equally as famous historical television drama, and I had totally forgotten until one of my viewers pointed it out! Can you guess which tv show and character wore this dress before the end of the video?

Check out one of my previous videos for more information on the Fortuny dresses in the museum’s collection, and why they might be so well known!

It was Lady Mary in Downton Abbey with a bob.

Great to see a similar dress on a real person. Would you know if the Downton dress was a historical dress or a reproduction.

I honestly don't know which show it's from but I can sure as hell tell thats an absolutely beautiful dress

OMG! I can't believe you got to be up close with a Fortune garment. I have my own theories as to how he permanently pleated the silk fabric. I think it's something akin to a permanent for somebody's hair but I've never gotten around to testing the theory.
