you're my ticket

Lady Rose would have had her wedding dress made especially for her big day, so I was anticipating having to make something from scratch. As it happened, we had the biggest stroke of luck, costume designer Anna Mary Scott Robbins says. The dress she wears is a completely original piece that we unearthed in a vintage shop in immaculate condition. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up when we found it and when Lily James put it on, it was one of those perfect moments you don’t get that often in your career. Rose’s wedding dress is markedly different from the dresses worn by her cousins Lady Mary and Lady Edith on their ill-fated wedding days. Her beaded gown and headdress reflects the change in time, as well as Rose’s “feminine, pretty and frivolous” style. (x)
