- Hi, I'm Roz Ebbutt

and I'm the costume

designer on Victoria.

This dress I have

here is a state dress

which is for Victoria which we

use for the christening

of the eldest child, Princess Victoria.

And also, then we can use again

for special state occasions.

This dress is made so that it

can accommodate the garter ribbon,

the garter star, and the actual garter.

When the Order of the Garter was instituted

it was obviously, it was around a leg.

But then when Victoria

came to the throne

obviously women's legs

weren't shown and so she evolved a technique

of putting the garter 'round the sleeve of her dress.

Then the garter sash goes 'round

always on the left shoulder to the right hip.

It's the only ribbon that does that.

And from it would hang

what's known as the George,

a little image of St. George slaying the dragon.

And then the Garter Star pins on her dress here.

That is a sort of very formal royal

part of their clothing.

This is our Buckingham Palace

livery that all of

the Buckingham Palace footmen wear.

And in fact today,

the liveries in Buckingham Palace

are not dissimilar to this.

We had a whole lot new ones

made this year so that everything

looks really perfect for the long scenes

in the corridors of Buckingham Palace

and the big reception scenes.

We also have here Buckingham Palace valets.

The chefs, the kitchen porters,

and then here on the stand

we have an example of a Hussar costume

from the 11th Hussars,

very similar to the one that Prince Albert wore

when he was Commander of the 11th Hussars.

And I also had a whole set made

of the troopers so that they could wear

on horseback for a parade scene.

So we've established a whole

new regiment of soldiers.

And here we

have a dress that was made new

for the series for Jenna Coleman, Victoria

and this was for a special fancy dress ball

with a Plantagenet theme.

And also the idea was

that everything was supposed to be made

of Spitalfields silks.

My dressmaker who made this

we used double layers of sort

of see-through embroidered fabric.

And some other embroidered fabric

and then pretend ermine here.

This beading here was actually

a bracelet which we sort of deconstructed

and spread out to look like

real jewels on her stomacher.

And all of the designs of the ball

Victoria was helped

by a man called J.R. Planche who

was actually one of the very first

historians of costume

and he wrote one of the very first books about it.

And it's still in print.

And there's a famous painting of her and Prince Albert

in their costumes.

So here we have some royal coachmen,

we have the clerk of the House of Commons,

the speakers gown.

It's been very interesting in this series that we've had

a multitude of different places,

different stories, different facets of society.

It makes a really fabulous show to be working on.
