A magical way to enjoy a beautiful spring day in Western North Carolina is to tour the Biltmore House and Gardens.
My sweet friends Dottie, Patricia, Mary Jane, and I spent part of the day viewing more than 45 costumes from the popular PBS Masterpiece series Downton Abbey® showcased in America's largest home. The Dressing Downton exhibition displays costumes in groupings throughout the house inspired by the fictional show and real-life at Biltmore. Ranging from servants' uniforms to lavish evening gowns, the award-winning costumes reflect how world events—the sinking of the Titanic, World War I, the Jazz Age, and women's evolving roles—influenced fashions.
The Conservatory left us in awe! We were not allowed to take pictures inside the house, so I made up for it in the gardens.
I wore an asymmetric hem black knit top from Chico's with white jeans by Kut from the Kloth via Dillard's. The necklace is from Belk. The shoes are by Rockport.
