One of the things most mentioned when we’re talking about period dramas is the costumes. In fact period dramas are sometimes known as costume dramas so you can see how important that department is. We still remember the news earlier this year when a fire destroyed part of Tess of The Uberville’s wardrobe and they had to start over again. Fortunately this was a rare incident and usually costumes are stored for documentation or even future use. The first time we noticed a dress being used more than once was when we watched Bleak House right after watching N&S and noticed Margaret Hale’s dress on Lady Dedlock.
After that we realised that several other dresses appeared in several different dramas and characters. There’s already a site that documents this very well so we decided to show you here just some of them and leave you to explore the others. We are also curious to know if some of you had already noticed costumes being reused and could point some examples.
