Inspired by the recent quiz videos on two of my favourite blogs Old-Fashioned Charm and Yet Another Period Drama Blog, I bring you, for the first time on LiveJournal (as far as I know...) a period drama dresses quiz!








The idea:
I've made a video with 50 period drama dresses, but without the heads of the characters wearing them (that sounds more sinister than it is!) Your job is to guess which character is wearing the dress, by which actress she is played and from which movie or miniseries the dress comes. A vid with all the answers will be posted somewhere next week.

The rules:
- You will receive 1 point for each character, actress and movie/miniseries you guessed correctly. So in total, you could earn 150 points!
- There are a few characters that figure more than once in this quiz
- Please do not look up any of the actors or movies via Google, IMDB or other sources. But I'll just have to trust you in this!

How to play:
- Post your guesses of the characters, actors and movie/miniseries in a comment to this post
- Comments will be screened

And for the winner there is:
Either a banner or 5 icons made by me to your own preferences!

He, thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it. The music is the main theme of 'Little Women', I love that soundtrack!

All your guesses were correct! For #3, it's indeed the last of your guesses which is the right one. You have earned 36 points. How clever of you to guess the Downton Abbey dresses even though you haven't seen the show!!

I didn't know that about #12, but now that you mention it I remember! But your feeling was right!

Hello! Thanks very much for playing!

You've earned 45 points! A few of your guesses were half correct, right movie, but not the right character: 7,19,20,24, 43 and 44.

You're probably right in thinking that this quiz positively biasses Downton Abbey fans....

It was a lot of fun. There were a few more that were almost on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't for the life of me remember them.

May I add you as a friend?

Thanks very much for playing! You did great, you earned 77 points! I gave you one point for #12, even though the answer is not right, but I was pointed by an earlier player to the fact that this dress was worn in multiple adaptations, and you picked the other adaptation!

Thanks for playing! All your guesses were correct but one: #12. You didn't guess the right character and adaptation, but it was pointed to me by a previous player that this dress was worn by your guess as well, so I gave you 1 point for this!

In total you've got 34 points!

Would it be possible to see a break-down of which ones I got correct versus incorrect? :)
