Dressing Downton Exhibit With Downton Abbey Costumes at Biltmore
Biltmore has a special exhibit Dressing Downton starting February 5, 2015 especially if you are a Downton Abbey fan. From Feb. 5 till May 25, 2015 Biltmore will have the Dressing Downton Exhibition. The exhibit will have over 40 costumes from the PBS show Downton Abbey, including servants’ uniforms and elegant evening gowns the factious Crawley women and other characters wear on the show.
