My DD just posted on Facebook asking me to pick a date for us to check out the Downton Abbey clothing collection at the Driehaus Museum in Chicago.

For Downton Abbey fans near the Windy City, this is a must see. Looking forward to this!

I just found out that it is currently in Oshkosh. I'm going in two weeks to see it. So excited.

PBS message said a 2016 Preview is up for all you Abbey fans.

We've been enjoying all the Brit offerings on Acorn, cheaper than Netflix, which is increasingly "alternative" for us old folks who value guess-who-done-its and good drama.

My mom and I were going to go see it this summer in Wisconsin. Then we found out it's coming to Chicago and decided to wait.

I remember one of the pattern companies came out with Downton Abbey fashions recently. Now, I can't find them. Anyone know which company?

I saw the exhibit in the spring at the Biltmore House (Vanderbilt family estate) in Asheville, NC. Absolutely fabulous! The clothes and the house really complemented each other.

I, too, highly recommend it.

Thanks for the info. I see it'll be in South Bend, which is closer for me than Chicago, and without Chicago traffic. I think it would make for a fun day!

I also saw it at the Delaware venue. Do not miss the chance for close up views. Decidedly gorgeous fabrics and interesting closures and sleeves. You can get close enough to zoom in for detailed photos.
