  1. I’ve seen episode 1 and I want Charles’ outfit in teal. YouTube has episode 2 on the Arnoldfini portrait and possibly others. I’m goingoing to binge on them and my Amazon Prime Ekaterina .

    1. Yes, I just watched all six episodes on YouTube! What a delight…I think the Black Prince episode was my favorite. The beautiful metal armor and all that gold embroidery heart eyes

  2. Series has just finished here in the UK, it was lovely, you just want to hang out with Ninja and her team in that wonderful workshop.
    The Arnoldfini dress was my favourite, a ridiculous amount of incredibly expensive material, but so beautiful!

  3. I’ve followed these ladies for a few years, and was thrilled to see their work get a series! I can’t wait until I can watch this in the States!

  4. Thanks for the hint. As a sometimes stage manager for stage shows, I love to learn more and more about what works and what is unlikely to–

  5. last time I checked, the bbc site blocks vpns, but there are more up on youtube now! thank you SplendorSolis, now to go watch the rest of them!

  6. Thanks for letting us know about this show! I’ve just watched all the episodes on youtube and loved them all! It was fascinating to see how they constructed the garments and the clever techniques they used. I also wish that they had had Amber wear appropriate wigs and jewellery to finish the looks, as her red style cut is very distracting! But still, it was a really fun watch, thanks! :)

  7. Thanks for sharing this! The repro of Dido’s gown has a very strong 1910’s flavor to it.

    1. Except that the gown didn’t look anything like the one in the portrait.

    1. I’d love to know that, too! Especially if they can put them in the same area as the original painting or extant garment in the case of the Black Prince…

  8. Fabulous series. The construction of the costumes, the costumes themselves were such a treat. Then, learning the history made the series so compelling. I also would be very interested in knowing what came of the costumes!
