Just discovered this fabulous programme on BBC iplayer. It's only 15minutes long and is presented by Doris Langley Moore (who set up what was the Museum of Costume in Bath). It was done in the 50s and she uses real historical dress on real models, including members of the British aristocracy, to illustrate her points. It's a conservators nightmare, but is wonderful to see these garments move, how we never can in a museum display today. There are 2 more left in the series, so keep a look out. Pure brilliance!
