Monday: Fashion Game - Period Drama Fashion Week


For Period Drama Fashion Week, let's have a little fashion game. In this game, there will be a screenshot of different fashion articles or segments of the fashion articles from different period dramas. The object is to guess where that article of fashion belongs to. The top five winners will receive a winner's blog button (300 x 150) for their blog that they will receive within a week after Period Drama Fashion Week. Here are a couple of rules:
  • Each question is worth two points. For each question, the answer should contain the character that is wearing the article of clothing and the period drama where it comes from.
  • Submit your answers in the comments in this post. I will not publish your answers.
  • When you submit your answers, at the bottom list the character from what period drama you would like to appear on your button (please include a year if there is more than one version), whether you would want your name/username or blog name on the button, and if you would like your button to be portrait (height is longer than width) or landscape (width is longer than height).
  • You can only submit one set of answers. If you would like to break up the questions (such as work on 10 now, 10 later, etc.), you may do that. Any questions with no answer I will list out in the comments box for you to answer later.
  • I know different costumes have been used in multiple period dramas, but the answer I'm looking for is the costume in the pictured period drama. Try looking at clues in the picture to figure out the period drama (lighting, hair color, accessories, etc.)
  • Multiple pictures can belong to the same period drama.
  • Have fun!

      This was so much fun! Can't wait to see how I did. Thanks for hosting this game! :)

      For a button...I'd choose something with Molly Gibson on it, a button that is portrait - longer than it is wide. It should have my name "Miss Laurie" on it and maybe "of Old-Fashioned Charm" or "of OFC" if it fit better.

  5. #2 Is Dorcas from Lark rise to candleford




    As for the character that I would like to appear on...do you count "the lord of the rings" as a period drama?? If you do than I would like it to be Arwen...and if not then Anne (from anne of green gables) And I would like my name on it..(Naomi) and probably portrait..(:
    Fun!!
    Blessings~Naomi

    BTW did you get my last comment???

  6. Miss Laurie,
    You got 20 1/2 correct and 4 wrong. You have 41 points. Good Job!

    Naomi,
    I didn't get your first comment (maybe a Blogger glitch?). If you re-enter your answers, I'll tally them up. But from your second comment, you got the question you answered correct. You may re-enter 1 and 3 - 25 for points. Lord of the Rings I would count as a period drama (though people may classify it as a fantasy story), but since it is Medieval-esque, I count it.

  14. Oopsie! Forgot to include what I would like for the button in case I'm one of the winners. Um... let's see. Well, I like most of Emma's dresses on Emma 2009, so I'll go with her, although I don't particularly like this one. And I'd prefer portrait. :) Thanks!
