The pleated skirt ended above her knee and the garment had large buttons down the front in the same color as the rest of the garment.

Two white embroidered flowers could be seen on either side of the collar as Florence stepped onto the stage to take her seat.

“Thank you to everyone who helped us while we were there. Fans waiting and cheering.

“The locals who let us turn their quiet village into our 1860s movie set. We really appreciated your support. It really was a dreamy way to spend our summer – Ireland, we loved you.

“If you can, try to watch these movies on the big screen. The sound, the colors, the cinematography.. it’s all meant to be appreciated for the most part! Likewise, if it’s not playing near you, it’ll be on Netflix later in the month. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for all the love so far.’
