Talking of care, recommend the Dovecot's Cosprop exhibition. Even if you're not a fashion or costume drama fan it's heartening to see the exquisite crafts dedicated to making fictional worlds as real as possible. Plus I was *this* close to Colin Firth's Mr Darcy costume and have a new film wishlist

I saw this with my own eyes at the Cosprop exhibit in London last autumn. This post showed up in my TL and I went, "Wait a second..." (I *cried* at that exhibit. So many astounding works of costume skill and beauty.)
Award-winning English costume designer Anthony Powell was born #OnThisDay in 1935. He designed this peignoir consisting of a lace and peach silk underdress and an embroidered green silk overdress with marabou trim worn by Natassja Kinksi in Tess (1979). Cosprop #film #costume

When I was in London last fall, I chose one day to criss-cross the Thames from Tower Bridge to Westminster, diverting as whims took me. This included a thorough inspection of Borough Market (*sigh* the Ginger Pig Sausage Roll) & a pit stop for the Cosprop Exhibit. Much better than a tourist trap
