The 1979 BBC miniseries "Lillie", starring Francesca Annis as Lillie Langtry, is a superbly lush evocation of the fashions of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. As the show progresses from the 1860's to the 1920's, the viewer can see the evolution of fashion - including, needless to say, the prominence of opera-length gloves. This gallery is drawn from Episode 3 of the miniseries.
