@@xr6lad Much of the women's basic uniform was provided for them. Men had to pay for their own personal clothing/anything they wore on their days off, but their uniform was rarely, if ever, new. It was necessary for maids to be skilled at sewing so they often made their clothes themselves to their tastes out of the clothing gifted by their mistress. The working classes couldn't afford to pay for clothing to be made up, rarely was it a thing back then to have pre-made clothing like we have now with high street shops and online too. People chose the fabric they wanted and either made the clothing themselves (lower classes) or chose the designs with a dressmaker (upper classes). Service was a hard life but a path which was respected, and the rewards they got like gifts at Christmas were extras, which was an improvement on the treatment of other lower class people back then.

What about a Downton Abbey: Matthew and Sybil Miniseries There should be a new miniseries, filling in the various huge years and months long gaps in the original series. With primarily Matthew and Sybil focused stories. It could be done the same way as Cobra Kai. And draw on the many unused camera angles and alternate takes from the original series. Which would delight the fans, because it would bring out things from the original series they'd never seen before from certain physical angles. And some of the multitude of unfinished storylines, could be brought out. For example, off the top of my head. The story of Sybils cake for her Ladyship, could finally be told. I'm sure there's a lot of good possibilities for stories to be told around that. And more stories about Sybils exotic frock. I'm a guy and an American, but even I would like to see more stories about how she defied her mother about the "fancy pajamas" frock, lol. She was the mischievous "Rose" characte of the show, before there was a Rose. And there could be more stories, lots and lots of them, about Matthew and his job. And how it got worked around his obligations to Downton. And what was the story of his new "fast and jaunty car"? The one that eventually killed him. That car was just landed in the show with no story at all about how the decision was made to get it. And how he and Mary got it. A good writer like Julian could come up with all kinds of charming conversations about it, and work it around other more known things in the original story. I think Julian should do a whole series, while the actors are still young, about Matthew and Sybil, before their untimely deaths. At least he could write it now. Or outline it at least. Because it has been proven that only Julian can write Downton believably. And then later, as technology progresses, the older actors could act in it. Then their faces could be "de-aged" digitally to the proper younger age. The technology for that is just about here right now. I wish SOMEONE would get this idea to Julian! Please.

@@l.a.3479 That is actually a solid retort, about "the nonexistent poll" on the matter. So I will not contest it. But yes, I think most everyone, probably yourself included, would swallow their pride and at least give it a chance. It's sort of like the fan scepticism regarding Karate Kid, and before that, I remember hostility regarding the revival of the Star Trek franchise in the late 80s with the "apostasy" of them using other characters and actors, when what most of the fans really wanted was the original crew back. And the idea of making an internet series out of Karate Kid, using the original characters of a teen movie franchise, in late middle age.... Egad! And furthermore, inserting unused clips from the movies as "memories" of the characters and such like? It was barmy! But just as with anything, it proved that the success or failure of it really depended on the writing skills and the acting. And against all common sense and expectations, by most people's account, they pulled it off. And Star Trek: The Next Generation went on to be a legend in its own right. Followed by three additional very successful series. The point is, if the writing is there, which it is with Julien Fellowes, it is, then almost anything is possible. And Matthew and Sybil are, aside from Violet, among the most popular characters in DA. They should never have been written out. Let alone, because of the selfishness and short-sightedness of the actors. Of course, if those two individuals haven't in the meantime, come to their senses, and realized what horrendous and selfish mistakes they made in forcing their characters to be written out, then the idea is all for naught. But although I hate to reward them for their wrong decisions years ago, by wrapping a series around them, my love for their characters, although not for them as actors, and my love of DA, is such that I could overlook it. And I think, the very prospect of bringing back Sybil and Matthew to fill in the gaping gaps in the years, before their untimely deaths, would be an immensely popular one with most fans.
