| A Look at the exhibit |
The Downton costume exhibition is
from the television series Downton Abbey. The exhibit is currently at the
Winterthur estate in Delaware. We got to visit it over the weekend of March
22-23 with our friend Cristina.

| Lady Violet |
Some of the lines from various episodes were painted on the walls of the exhibit to serve as a reminder of when a particular outfit was worn. Some were quotes from Lady Violet.

| One of our favorite snarky quotes! |
WHO IS VIOLET? - Sharp-tongued, witty Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of
Grantham is the widow of the late Earl of Grantham, mother of Robert and
Rosamund, and mother-in-law of Cora Crawley, and Marmaduke Painswick. She has
three granddaughters, Lady Mary Crawley, Lady Edith Crawley, and the late Lady
Sybil Branson

| Lady Sybil's Harem Pants |

| L to R: Rob, Cristina, Tom |
HAREM SCAREM - In one episode on Season 2, Lady Sybill, the youngest of the Crawley daughters (married to Tom Branson and whom died giving birth to a little girl) wore "harem pants." These pants apparently fell apart right after the filming of the episode! They were fastened together for the exhibit.
