We love this series and the movies too! They are a beacon of cinematic art, especially when it comes to fashion. That's why this dress had to join our collection. No matter how much it cost. Here it is: from the world stage to tranquil Bad Vilbel, Germany. It was worn by Maggie Smith in one of her signature roles as Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham. The dress can be seen in the first season, in episodes 3, 4, 5 and 6.
