Costume designer Anna Robbins combines the new, the vintage and the borrowed to dress up 'Downton Abbey' for its big-screen debut.
It wasn’t just Lady Mary and the biting Dowager Countess who transitioned from the much-loved PBS series “Downton Abbey” to the feature film version in September.
Educated as a lawyer, Robbins says her legal skills help her pull together divergent research important in design, “and, of course, I’d rather be investigating a 1920s costume than a 1920s legal statute, any day.” It’s a Fortuny Delphos gown. I collaborated with Fortuny on it. They’d loaned us some original pieces from their archive for the series and so we’d worked together over the years. The gown’s not an original vintage piece, or a replica, it’s a kind of brand-new original. We dyed the hand-pleated silk — I call it a Prussian blue. It’s stunning in the setting and definitely one of my favorite costumes.
Yes, it was an amazing original vintage dress I’d found with this extraordinary print of little churches and hedgerows. It was an original silk dress but had seen better days. Even so, I just adored it, so we took the dress fabric, used what we could, and I commissioned the print be reprinted on silk; it matched perfectly for that wonderful ruffle and the skirt. I really love that dress.
