A Stickler for Details

I sure have enjoyed watching "Downton Abbey" and feel sad about it being over. The storytelling was wonderful, the cast was terrific, and of course the clothing, which evolved along with the times, caused me to me swoon.

Reading about the show's historical advisor, Alistair Bruce, in a Los Angeles Times article made me appreciate the care that went in to making "Downton Abbey" so special and precise. And I sympathize with him getting riled up about "slouchy, modern-day posture." Bruce elaborates: "If only we could take one lesson out of this otherwise terrifyingly starched era and just stand up straight. . . All men would be more handsome and all women more beautiful."
