House of Elliot

[Katie Brookes]

I've been getting this on Netflix, it is such a great show, and seems like just the thing to recommend here; two sisters who are designing clothes in England at the start of the 20s, trying to create their own business and dealing with adversity because of gender and social issues... as well as the issues of changes in style and culture. and the costuming is fantastic.

read about it on the BBC website.

or on IMDB:



anyone else watched this series? thoughts?

 

[Smithy]

I saw some of them when it was shown in NZ in the early 90s. Costuming was fantastic and the series was popular back home.

I can't but help think of French and Saunders when I see House of Elliott.

Good grief I'd forgotten about the F & S skit, hadn't seen that in ages, brilliant!

 

[Miss Sis]

Yes, it is a really interesting show. Great costumes and an intersting storyline.

It ran to quite a few series too.
