clothesonfilm.com: If you’re not watching BBC 2’s gangster western Peaky Blinders, stop reading now and seek it out on iPlayer – there’s still one episode left so you have time to join the party. Peaky Blinders is the slow burning tale of a volatile, family led criminal gang, headed by calculating brother Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), and their rise to power in post-World War I Birmingham. It does not sound glamorous and it isn’t, yet is all the more compelling for embracing the filthy side of what many considered to be the cusp of the ‘Roaring Twenties’. Not in Birmingham it wasn’t.

Not a lot of people really care about the historical details of time periods when they are costuming, but my mother always made sure she was exactly to the style of the time AND place. It was good that Stephanie did the research before hand. It is surprising that she even dulled the colors a little because they would not have had such vibrant dyes in that century. For our community theatre, we always spiced up the colors because audiences like bright, colorful, and cheerful costumes during musical numbers.
