American president John Adams was a snappy dresser


Abigale and John Adams


Or so the TV series would have me believe! I've just started to get into this show and the main reason to begin with was the costumes!

The costume department has done an amazing job and the series is a visual feast.
I thought that while I was working on some personal style posts and reviews I would put up these stunning scenes from the show.

Don't forget to click on the images for a better view!


John Adams and Thomas Jefferson


Mr and Mrs Adams again


love her parisole




Mrs Adams






Of course the best part costume wise was the diplomatic visit to France!
I wish I could find more shots of this but check out episode 3 for all the fashion action!

I watched that in October with my hubby and adored the fashion as well. I'd totally wear all Abigail Adams' clothes!!

Wow! You have just introduced me to another series I am now adding to my dvd to buy list.

I LOVE period dramas and you're right, these costumes look amazing - and I've recognised some of my fave actors in the pics :)

Thank you - I love discovering new shows.
I'm not a regular tv gal at all but I do love my dvd tv series marathons! ;)

Hope you've been having the best time enjoying our silly season! Merry Christmas gorgeous girl :)
