The Carousel Diaries: Dressed Up for Downton Abbey

 

The makers of Downton Abbey have just announced that they’ll be releasing a clothing line inspired by the PBS show later this year. This comes as no surprise as the show has featured jaw-dropping style since it started back in 2010. Downton also introduced us to Michelle Dockery, who is without a doubt a fashion icon in the making.

Lady Mary’s famous wedding dress broke our hearts with its understated early century simplicity.

But let’s face it: We are more in love with modern day Ms. Dockery’s impeccable approach to fashion.

She made herself noticed at the Golden Globes earlier this year in this devastatingly beautiful gold and cream gown.

We could write lots of things about Michelle’s casual looks but let’s just say this: perfection.

Good luck picking your favourite out of these three. Under duress we’ll go with the sheer elegance of the wine floor length dress with cut out detail. You could get tipsy just looking at it.

Sure, side bum might be the latest revealing trend, but Michelle proved earlier this year at the Oscars that side boob can be done in a truly classy and daring way.

We can’t wait to see what the Downton Abbey actress has in store for us on red carpets to come as well as snaps of her tailored, defined street style.

As for the Downton fashion line- we’ll keep you posted as to when that’ll be available to purchase. We’ll be very interested to see what the range will be like!
