This Instagram page called APOA focuses on art and costumes in European, Scandinavian and American period dramas. So it has you covered whether you’re in the mood for the glitz of the Gatsby era, or Queen Elizabeth II and her corseted gowns. The page also mentions the name of the costume designer in the captions, thus giving credit where it’s very much due. Although it’s primarily women-centric, you can also find posts on fashionable men in period films, like James McAvoy in The Conspirator and Becoming Jane.
