Costume Commentary

  1. Hi!
    In the last picture (the one from “Persuasion”), you can see a snippet of the actress playing Elizabeth Elliot (Julia Davis, to the left) wearing the same dress as Lady Caroline Lamb (Camilla Power) in a ball scene in “Byron” (the 2003 mini-series). Below a picture of the scene.
    Months ago I submitted this one and another costume but I never got an answer to my emails, so I’m posting it here, instead.
    Thanks for the amazing site!
