What is a costume drama?

A costume drama is a genre of film, television, or theatre that is set in a historical period and in which the characters wear clothing and accessories that are typical of that era. Costume dramas often focus on the lives and relationships of the upper classes, and they may include elements of romance, adventure, and intrigue.

Some of the most famous costume dramas include:

* Gone with the Wind (1939)

* The Sound of Music (1965)

* Downton Abbey (2010-2015)

* The Crown (2016-present)

Costume dramas can be a great way to learn about history and to experience the fashions and customs of different eras. They can also be a lot of fun to watch, as they often offer a glimpse into the lives of people who are very different from us.
