Photos: Lady Sybil's "Shocking" Pants Costume From the NEC Craft Show

 
These fan photos (below) of Lady Sybil's "shocking" pants outfit (she wore in Downton Abbey season one) are from the NEC Craft Show that took place in Britain, March 22 -25:







I took these photos at a craft fair, displaying some of the costumes.

Of Sybil’s shocking new outfit, Fellowes explains, “no woman of her class, before Poiret’s harem look, had ever been seen in trousers.” Buxton describes the look’s origins: “I found a long strip of original fabric set on gold net, which was so fragile it had started to split, and used that for the top and sleeves. The blue peacock bodice came from Alfie’s Antiques market. The beaded belt was found at a vintage fair and the blue silk chiffon used for the trousers came from Shepherd’s Bush Market.”
