The costume designers of Lillie were nominated for a BAFTA. I also found this quotation: “Francesca Annis wore 200 costumes, each one specially designed and fitted. All told, 3,000 costumes were used in Lillie, each an original, trimmed where appropriate with lace and ribbon of the period.” (p. 84, Masterpiece Theatre: A Celebration of 25 Years of Outstanding Television, by Terrence O’Flaherty)

Thank you so much! This is fascinating! I cannot imagine 3000 original costumes! My goodess!
Lille was made by ITV not the BBC
Thanks so much, James. I’ve made the correction. 🙂
