This beautiful striped costume has been worn five times over the years. It was almost certainly made for the 2004 mini-series North & South, where Daniela Denby-Ashe wore it as Margaret Hale. It made another appearance the very next year in Bleak House, where Gillian Anderson wore it as Lady Honoria Dedlock. At this time, a belt and buckle were added to the costume – a feature that stayed with the piece as it continued to be used.
In 2009, the outfit was worn by Michelle Dockery as Erminia Whyte in Cranford Christmas. Next, the dress was seen in the 2016 production To Walk Invisible, where Gracie Kelly wore it as Ellen Nussey. In 2020, it appeared in the first season of Belgravia, where Tamsin Greig wore it as Anne Trenchard. At this point, it appears that additional fabric has been added to the front, either for a different look or to enlarge the piece. This piece may be a separate vest under the jacket or may be made to look like one, with the “vest” sewn to the jacket.
Finally, in 2023, the piece was seen in the episode of The Artful Dodger entitled The Duel, where Maia Mitchell wore it as Lady Belle Fox.
This fabric has been used many more times on several other costumes. Click the link below to see more.

Picked a random period drama to watch and it features the Duke of Wellington and a fellow he calls his Magician I’m. ?????? This is going to be a fun evening of incongruence. Happy to report I still have a massive crush on Tamsin Grieg.

I've been seeing the Peggy Porschen café on the net for years, so I had to visit it during my stay in London !
The front of the shop was being renovated, so I would have loved to see it completely decorated with flowers !
Anyway, I'm still glad I stopped in and had my snack there. We almost didn't get a seat, the place was so small, so if you want to go there, make sure you book a bit in advance !
We had breakfast tea, an iced latte and a strawberry champagne cupcake. A little too sweet, but excellent ! 🍰🫖

This blue regency gown was first seen on Helen McCrory as Valentina Villefort in The Count of Monte Cristo in 2002. It was later seen on Georgia King as Lady Amelia Heartwright in the 2013 film Austenland. In 2016 it was worn by Emma Greenwell as Caroline Bingley in a deleted scene from Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. In 2020 the costume was seen again on Tamsin Greig as Anne Trenchard in Belgravia. Most recently it appeared on Eliza Capel as Princess Sophia in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story in 2023.
