In the second "Downton Abbey" film, Lady Mary takes on a more modest wardrobe as she prepares to become the dowager. We see her in looks that are less skin-baring and sensual, and softer in tone and silhouette. Costume designer Anna Robbins told Hello!, "I looked at reintroducing a waistline to her outfits. During the 1920s, dresses became more linear, then it became a dropped waistline, then as we get to the end of the '20s, we find form in the waist again."
