Maggie Smith's Dress/hat
We had reservations for 9:30 am for our grand Dressing Downton tour at the Biltmore House.  I think 1000 other people had the same reservations!  There were soooo many people there.  It was the last day to use the "free tickets", so I guess that is why.  I mean, when it costs $73 per person to get in and use the audio thingy that tells about the house, you don't pass up "free tickets".  Plus, there were 45 Downton Abbey costumes through out the house that they used in the TV series.  The clothes were much prettier and you could see all the detail to them better in person.  The actors who wore them were way skinnier than what they looked on TV.  It was so fun to get to see the costumes in person.  It made us want to go back and watch Downton Abbey all over again.
