Downton Tiara

Just a quick one today and yet another one for the Downton Fans ( I promise I do actually have other interests and am NOT as obsessed as I appear...)

Fascinating article here about the costume designers search for the perfect tiara for the Downton sisters weddings... real insight into the designers process and all the thinking that goes into these things that we don't even know about!

Really fascinating stuff...

Now known as the Myrtle Tiara after its leaf motif, it was a gift from the Sassoon family to HRH Princess Louise, the Princess Royal, eldest daughter of King Edward VII, on her marriage to the 6th Earl Fife in 1889
