Why we're all buying Downton clothes!

Why am I not surprised that Downton-inspired fashion is flying off the shelves? From Flapper style dresses to vintage underwear, we all want a piece of it! Southampton and Luton are the top two towns in the UK for sales of 1920s inspired garments, and
The Daily Mail writes that most women want to emulate the dresses worn by Lady Mary Crawley.
Who do you want to look like? I'm torn between the elegance of her mother and the smooth lines of the 1920's, but in truth I'd settle for ANY of the sister's frocks...!
The Daily Mail writes;
"Figures from Littlewoods show that since the third series started sales of flapper style dresses have increased by 40%, traditional ruffle blouses shot up by 109% and even men are buying in to the trend with tweed and cord blazer sales rising a massive 146%.

And over half of those polled by the fashion brand said they would love to go back to the 1920s to sample life during this fashionable period."
