Idk, I just love this medieval hat (shown here on Colin firth in the Advocate) which learned today is called a chaperon!

Mr. Collins in Pride and Prejudice Zombies is perhaps the best

Not strictly a period drama, but I watched this movie last night with my husband because why not. As a joke more than anything. But I actually think that the chemistry between the characters in this version was pretty good. I adore Lily James and she was good in this one as well. But Mr. Collins was great. I highly enjoyed the scenes he was in.

The costumes in war and peace (2016) are so bad

I still sort of like this adaptation mainly for James Norton as Andrei but the costumes look so cheap and over the place my god. There's some hit or misses with them for example the dress Natasha wears at the opera but overall I feel like they're completely unhistorical and bad.

I know the PotC movies are more fantasy adventures than period dramas, but I just can't get over how fine James Norrington is.

The way I would swoon if he proposed to me, and it would have nothing to do with my corsets being too tight.

I'm about to start watching The Forsytes, because I desperately need more Jack Davenport in my life.
