Are you guys die hard fans of Downtown Abbey? Then you were sure delighted by a vintage wedding as delicate and elegant as Lady Mary’s. The gown she wore was the most expensive costume they made for the series till date. ‘Lady Mary’s wedding dress was the most expensive costume we’ve made. It cost around £4,000 to make,’ Downton Abbey costume designer Caroline McCall tells ‘It’s a silver lace tabard fabric that goes into a train at the back, and underneath is a silk dress with silk sleeves. The detail at the back wasn’t really seen on camera but the lace goes into a V at the back with tiny buttons and it’s completely edged with tiny rice pearls and Swarovski crystal.’

Lady Mary, played by Michelle Dockery and Matthew Crawley, played by Dan Stevens tied the knot in the first episode of the new series.  I love a good vintage wedding and this wasn’t a disappointment. Stunning costumes!
