Look Like A Modern-Day Lady Mary

From the ethereal gowns to the impeccably dressed staff, the costume design in Downton Abbey makes me yearn for a lady’s maid to help me slip on my silk gloves and pin up my hair before dinner. But for something a little more practical (and tons more comfortable), local designer Denise Allen Robinson of Neesh by D.A.R. created a collection of knits, dresses, and jackets inspired by the British estate. Robinson could see a modern-day Anna wearing this prim and proper long-sleeved dress, while Branson served as inspiration for the trim fit of this boiled wool blazer. It’s all on sale.
