Michelle Dockery And Laura Carmichael | Who What Wardrobes | Who What Wear

Hi, I'm Michelle Dockery and I'm Laura F. Michael

We're going to see if we can guess the cast member based on who wore it

Let's see how we do. Ooh, you're right. That's in the first movie

The first movie. It's a good one. This piece was for the big ballroom scene at the end of the film

It's also the scene between Mary and Violet. when Violet tells Mary that she's not very well

This actually started as a short dress, which was then, which was original

So it was from sort of 1928 or something. And then Anna Robbins had the rest of it made

to make it floor length. It was absolutely beautiful and I loved it. It's one of my favorites

Oh, that's my wedding dress. Oh no, no, my wedding dress. That was also from that ball in the first movie

and yes and this was the dress that didn't arrive on time so we had to make

a big version of it and then the tailored version so yeah this felt like an ongoing

process of layering different fabrics together and that's your horror was amazing wasn't it

good tiara little crown oh that's Laura Haddock it is yeah that's Myrna yeah in this movie when

Okay that me That you That from this movie Well I think I probably wore it in the first one as well Sometimes we wear the same things But this is I think this is a scene where Mary is doing the voice of Myrna

in the sound like on my microphone. Yeah, it's Daywear. So this is Daywear and Anna wanted this to be

a sort of Chanel, a kind of Coco Chanel look. So it has the double pearls and the beautiful neckline

which was actually this, this costume started with just that one piece

and then everything was made. So she can start with a really small detail

and work her way down. But this is one of my favorites, I loved it

Oh yes, and this is me in South France. This is one of my favorite outfits

I think I've ever worn out. but yeah I got to wear trousers and break away from the kind of stiffer world of dancing

and go a bit further into the newer trends. But sometimes we can't go that far when we're at the house

The characters we play are sort of quite held. So yeah, this was a chance to break away and show some of the more daring 20s left. Correct. Yeah

Isn't that the one you were on the poster as well? it. Gorgeous. And the headscarves. That's something that Mary doesn't really wear. It's

not part of her wardrobe. It's very much an Edith accessory, isn't it

Ooh, is that Cora? I think it might be Cora. Yeah. Oh, I know. It's in this film. Yeah. So I think it's a dinner scene or a drawing room

scene. And I think maybe she may have worn it in the first film, actually. Some of these

dresses that we carry through and want to keep somewhere to fill like continuity in the night of Japan Yeah it got cape A cape Yeah something like a cloak Yeah Cora

Oh, that's Lily. It's Lily. So that was the debutante. So that's Lily James

Who plays Rose. Who plays Rose. And it was this specific design where the hips

there's sort of padding in the hips that creates this kind of little bell skirt

It's super cute. I remember Lily was like, I don't even love it. It was so cute

And it was a ballroom scene and she danced with the prince. And it was very glamorous that episode

because there was the royals and so the costumes were quite elaborate

It's such a silhouette of that moment, isn't it? So specific to the time to have that drop waist

That's me. That's the Fortuny, which was the most stunning dress I've ever worn, which was made by Fortuny

for the first film, especially on the poster as well. It was kind of like this concertina

It's actually, it's amazing because it's huge, but then when you put it on, it kind of goes

They're like the only house that make it, aren't they? Yeah, sort of a positive fabric

And would have at the time, so it was really special to have one of those pieces

And then she layered, Anna Robbins, our costumes as a designer, layered it with lots of pieces of jewellery, which I loved

It was fully in the fitting. She'd gotten one, and then she was like, no, it needs another one, and another one

And the line's not very about four, they're just a bit. But yeah, it was absolutely beautiful

One of my favourites. That's Cora, the first season. I love this. I forget how old those early years were

So this would have been the Edwardian period. And Cora you know with the designers they were always really conscious that the newness of the time wouldn put that on the mother of the family so we often are wearing the fashions that look a bit later

this to me feels so early compared to where we get with the higher

and more like the shape that Violet wears from that period and I remember thinking that Elizabeth looked like

Eliza Doolittle in this outfit and that was the flower show. Yeah, wasn't it

And we had beautiful hats. I kind of missed that period. For the hats, we had fabulous hats

It's like a painting. So that's season two. And that's when Matthew is coming home

and the house has become a convalescent home. I think this was partly made

so it was French lace and it had like a lilac silk

so it's underneath I actually remember those pearls when the dining room scene

did quite a lot, I remember this went into the dining room scene and I think this was the costume I was wearing

when I was sort of playing with my beads just sort of fidgeting with them

and then the hook came off and all the beads just went

onto the floor. And then of course, for continuity, we had to fix the necklace

before we started filming again. So they had to put the beads

on piece by piece. I felt awful. But I loved that period

and that was, you know, during the war time. So there was a lot of black and lilac

There was a lot of, you know, mourning for the lost soldiers

And so there was a real, you know, those colours were kind of we were wearing those quite often yeah but I love that I love the hair in this series

it's very different thanks so much for watching until next time we walk back
