LADY EDITH: Do I look okay?
LADY MARY: You look very much like you just posed for a John Singer Sargent portrait.
LADY EDITH: …and?
LADY MARY: It’s a compliment, you dolt.
LADY EDITH: God, there’s no need to be so Method.
LADY MARY: Sorry. I’m just tired of people asking me where Matthew is. HE ISN’T REAL, PEOPLE. I mean, he IS real. But HE’S not real.
LADY EDITH: The more you talk, the more perplexed my face gets.
LADY MARY: Speaking of, your face in real life is so much nicer than the face they give you on Downton Abbey.
LADY EDITH: Um, thanks? I like your dress quite a lot.
LADY MARY: AND…?
LADY EDITH: And the gloves have got to go. WE’RE NOT ON SET.
LADY MARY: AREN’T WE? HAVE YOU SEEN YOU?
LADY EDITH: THIS ISN’T PERIOD APPROPRIATE!
LADY MARY: Oh, whatever. You look nice. I hope this season you get to marry some nice handsome young man instead of a creepy old dude with enormous teeth who can barely muster up any enthusiasm for you.
LADY EDITH: You look nice, too. I hope this season Matthew’s penis works correctly.
LADY MARY: The whole WORLD hopes that.

Not gonna lie…from a quick glance, I thought it was M Streep
Evening gloves would have been awesome.
YES! Here, they just look like her hands are cold. It looks weird.
It must be so hard to be on a costume drama and resist the temptation to wear clothes inspired by that era, especially if it’s in style now. It’ll look silly and costume-y on them.
I have a major crush on Michelle Dockery. I think she looks great!
They both look sensational. The plunging decolletage on Lady Edith is a perfect balance to the voluminous remainder of her dress. And I love Lady Mary’s bodice.
Yeah, the gloves are definitely a weird length, but I don’t care–everything else is Just Right.
The gloves gotta go! Otherwise, the sisters look great!
LOVE them. I even like the gloves, although a tad longer would have been nice. I love L. Edith’s hair like that. It must be frustrating for her to have to look worse on tv than in real life.
Heather and I were just talking about that. She’s so pretty in real life. Dockery, obviously, is also a dish.
Also, O’Brien. Hotness. http://jezebel.com/5883808/downton-abbeys-obrien-is-a-total-babe
I don’t get it. I think she looks good on Downton.
I just choked on an M&M when reading the dialogue about the penis. You ladies rock!
Totally! I laughed SO LOUD at that part my son turned around and looked at me like I was insane!
Me too, completely giggled at the awesome-ness of it!
Oh I can’t wait for Downton Abbey to return to my tv screen….
I think they both look lovely, well played!
Lady Edith, I don’t know how old you are but I completely agree with Liz. This looks like something Meryl or Oprah would wear.
Lady Edith looks very, very pretty here.
I thought the deal with gloves was, if you had on a strapless dress short gloves were a no-no? Elbow or opera length gloves would have been much, much better, and I believe correct, sartorically speaking.
I have never watched this show, but based on this imaginary exchange alone, I think I need to start.
They look wonderful.
Ha, did you watch Modern Family when they were at Disneyland? “It’s ToonTown, Cam, not ToonTon, you’ve been watching too much PBS.” hahahaaaa
P.S. I love that I can just click the photo now to zoom, thank you!
I think my namesake is one of the best of the night. Amazing and beautiful and not an explosion of tulle. All good things.
I love that they’re very good friends in real life. Dockery commented that’s it’s been really hard for her to be mean to Carmichael in the series because she loves her so much in RL.
WHEN IS THIS SERIES COMING BACK?
Fritanga, I read an interview with them in British Marie Claire where they said all 3 “sisters” hung out and had sleepovers while shooting. I thought that was adorable.
Sadly, it’s not back on U.S. screens until January 2013.
Oh, and great Sargent namecheck. Both of them look like his portraits of pale, gorgeous women in fabulous gowns.
L. Edith does look like she’s wearing something from the Streep Collection…but I think it works nicely on her. I love that sapphire blue color.
As for the gloves…I wish they bothered me, but they don’t. I don’t know what’s happening to me!
Long evening gloves would’ve been lovely with Michelle Dockery’s dress, but the short ones just look goofy.
That deep navy is gorgeous on L.Edith, but from here you can see that she would have been better served with a dress that allowed her to wear a bra. Still, Sargent is dead on, (but Dockery doesn’t quite make it because of the short wrist length gloves, which do not work). Both look so good and the flaws are not so glaring.
I actually love the gloves. I think elbow-length would be a little too demure, a little too expected. She looks like a sexy cat burglar who’s planning to lift the jewels off some drunken socialite at a Met Ball afterparty.
