One of the reasons many of us like watching historical dramas such as Downton Abbey, Pride & Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and more recently, Parade's End, is for the clothing.
Because, let's face it, the Crawleys wouldn't be nearly as interesting if they didn't have such fantastic clothes to wear.
So if you were to pick a period of time to live in purely by the type and style of clothing you'd get to wear—what would it be?
Regency, with its Empire waistlines? Georgian, with the huge skirts and more enormous hair styles? Edwardian, with the long, slim lines? Or another period?
