Don’t know what the blunt cut she had in the last series
was about…did nothing for her! But…the most interesting sister by far is lady Edith! I would argue that in this last series Edith has become the most stylish (love her bobbed hair!) and likely to be the most successful sister in the long run..!

I also think that Michelle Dockery is the better actress out of the two, although Jessica is good also.

I would consider Lady Mary an irresistible challenge. Although the language is a little out of kilter with the era, and most of the mens’ hair is too long, I have been very impressed by the details of the series and, along with my wife, enjoyed it immensely. Some of the events are telegraphed rather obviously in advance, but I am genuinely curious to see how far they get into the 1920s, and how the family (and house) fare.

The series is well researched and well performed, convincing us that the charecter really is who she protrays.

Is it possible to get patterns for the clothes the ladies wear, I should like to make something special for Chistmas.

Lady Sybil is in my humble opinion the true “beauty”of the three. Lady Mary doesn’t have the exquisite facial bone structure that Lady Sybil enjoys. Lady Sybil will definitely age better.
