Lesley Manville - those dresses in Magpie Murders

60 replies

Haroweller · 12/02/2022 20:43

Am wondering if anyone has watched Magpie Murders and can help me find two of the dresses worn by Lesley Manville in the opening episodes.

I loved both and think the lilac one would be fabulous to wear to a Wedding I am going to in May.

Someone, please point me in the right direction. I have spent hours searching for both photos and similar dresses with no luck.

The only photos I can find are attached

🤞🤞🤞

Sorry I can’t help but I love Magpie Murders. Does anyone know if you watch it if you do r have Britbox

QuietFlame · 12/02/2022 21:02

I can’t help with identifying the dresses but had to join this thread to say I adore Lesley Manville in this and her wardrobe /car/ hair !
The whole production is ‘classy’ ...and so clever,especially using the same actors in both timelines and the ‘near misses ‘when their worlds almost collide.

@florentina1 I signed up for the 7 day free trial and binge watched it this afternoon.

I was wondering if there would be a thread about this. Lesley Manville's outfits are just fab. I've watched all 6 episodes- really enjoyed it.

No help for your question, sorry, but can you only watch Britbox online? It isn't an option on our Sky Q box and I hate watching TV on a tablet?

@mum2jakie I watch it on an app on a smart tv.

I don't have Sky and am sorry I dont know what a Q box is. But if you have a smart tv you should be able to locate the app in the apps option if it isn't available on the screen barrier.

Even if you have to watch it on a tablet it is worth it. I struggle to find much I like on Netflix etc but absolutely loved this.

@Haroweller, thanks might need to subscribe for that free trial when I've got some time off. I love Lesley Manville and the Magpie Murders books. It's the only decent thing that I've seen up on Britbox.

RampantIvy · 13/02/2022 08:19

I can't download the app on our TV, so I use the app on my phone and cast it to the TV.

Thank you for the heads up for this series. I shall be watching it.

PriamFarrl · 13/02/2022 08:21

I’m glad someone else asked. I’ve only watched episode one so far and her clothes have really stood out.

Kitkat151 · 13/02/2022 08:43

Lesley Manville is such a versatile,actress...l.loved her in Harlots

RampantIvy · 13/02/2022 08:57

Yes, she was excellent in Harlots.

sluj · 13/02/2022 09:06

I think if you have Sky Q it's available as an option within the Amazon Prime app.

Not sure about those dresses, but Temperley London and Baukjen are guesses for some of the outfits. Might be worth looking at Wolf and Badger and Whistles?
This is Temperley and might be good for a wedding?

Agree, Lesley Manville is excellent.

TheMarzipanDildo · 13/02/2022 09:10

I want the car too.

Here’s a screenshot from a trailer on Twitter. You could check the credits for the costume designer and contact them, via Twitter etc
