  1. For this series, will you be reviewing Bess’s costumes too? Also, you should do a series like this for Gone With The Wind.

    1. Yep, I plan to include Bess as well.

      GWTW is SUCH a can of worms, we haven’t really gotten into it because we don’t want to gloss over the racist aspects. Someday? Maybe?

  2. The Duchess is one of my favourite historical films. I love the casting, the costumes and hair, and locations. I must have been a Georgian in a past life.😇

    The wedding gown is one of my favourite costumes. It did remind me of the Sacque Gown in the V&A. All the V&A one needs is jewels similar to the Pearl and diamond stomacher. (see tweet as cannot add pic).

  3. When the tall hairstyles tilts back like that, how does it maintain balance? Is it light, or does the weight cause headaches?

    1. If you’re prone to headaches, it’ll cause headaches, sez heahache-having tall-hair-wearer ;) Sure, there are ways to mitigate this re: balance & anchoring, but no matter what, it’s a lot of weight on one’s head, so if that’s a trigger, there ya go.
