Tonight I saw a program about filming 'Victoria'. They had the wedding gown on display and showed closeups of it. It DID have a section of lace across the lower portion of the front of the gown. It was the same color as the gown and didn't show up very well at a distance. They said they copied the original one in the display, and used a 'similar' lace to the original Honiton. I didn't think it looked very much like Honiton, but few people would know the difference.'It would have been nice for the production to have shown the gown better. However, now I know the costumers tried to be authentic. A second series is being written so sometime in the future we'll get to see some more of Victoria, covering the years 1840-1844. They did mention that Victoria was 4'8" tall. The actress playing the part is about 6 inches taller. There has been a wide variety of laces used in the collars of the servants. On the dark dresses, they show up very well. Alice in Oregon -- where we have another threat of snow for the morning. I wish spring would come.
