Get The Look: Lady Mary Circa 1912-1926~ VFG Fashion Parade for the week of March 21st

[carla rey]

The extraordinarily elegant Lady Mary Crawley of "Downton Abbey," portrayed by Michelle Dockery, can be described as independent, regal and sometimes scandalous. While her character and strong personality influence her unique style, this Parade includes a variety of ladies' fashions from the late Edwardian era in which the Titanic sunk (1912) through the mid-Roaring Twenties (1926). Welcome items are: drop-waist flapper silhouettes, tweed, beaded gowns, riding habits, opera gloves, walking suits, hobble skirts, blouses, dressing gowns, Art Deco anything, cocoon coats, furs, fans, pearls, feathers, sautoir necklaces, beaded bags, chatelaine purses, Deco-heeled slippers. . . and don't forget those glorious hats, headbands, headpieces and tiara-like crowns!
