The Lady and the Chauffeur

downton-diary:

Before World War I, this meant that Sybil had just “three or four” evening dresses; during the war, when Sybil volunteers at a hospital for war veterans, Brown-Findlay spent most of her scenes in a nurse’s uniform.

Now that the war’s over, and she’s married progressive one-time chauffeur Tom Branson, Sybil may be allowed to reinvent herself fully - both in how she dresses and how she spends her time.

“Sybil hasn’t been allowed to dress the way she wants to yet,” says Brown-Findlay, who adds that she is enjoying wearing the 1920s costumes of the show’s third season, which is currently filming. “It’s all really quite elegant.”
