I wasn't sure what it was. I was thinking it could be Duchesse, but the resolution of my TV was frustratingly vague. I am referring to the outfit worn at the flower show. I think Duchesse would also be correct for the period, or the period just before the period. The matriarch is very old fashioned as witness the fact that she finds electric lights to be practically unbearable in their brightness. Devon In a message dated 2/5/2011 12:35:49 P.M.

I know that Battenburg lace isn't considered "real lace" by some purists, but I have to admire the wonderful overblouse worn by the matriarch in the PBS (BBC?) 4-part show "Downton Abbey". I know she has worn it in both episodes 2 & 3; I have not seen episode 4 yet. It is both a handsome piece, and correct for the period, which is nice. Has anyone else noticed it? What did you think?
