You never get too old for dress up. I'm sure that's one reason Halloween is such a popular holiday. Here is a Downton Inspired Nurse Sybil Crawley costume. Everything is handmade. The dress was originally sewn for a Wynna movie that didn't happen, and the apron was part of a Halloween maidservant costume.
Call it escapism or whatever you like, but that desire to try being someone else is what I think is at the root of fiction. We invent characters and make things happen to them because it allows us to experience the exciting, the novel, the out-of-the-ordinary, all from a safe distance.

Is that my maid apron in action? Your costume looks so grand!
