For the Sake of Appearance: 4: Where all that is not Greek is Roman

on BBC Two England

A series of six programmes
Introduced by Joan Bakewell

Fashion of the Neo-Classical age, when Madame Recamier reclined, waistlines rose and necklines fell. The transition from the classic simplicity of the late 18th-century fashion to the beginning of the Romantic era is seen by comparing actual clothes of the period with costumes from the television production of War and Peace.
