Caroline Harris was Costume Designer on the movie and this suit of armour was photographed on display at the London Film Museum on May 15, 2012. The film featured lots of jousting, so many stunt doubles (and suits) were obviously required.

In addition to the costume they also had a large selection of oversized props, like this Toby Jug, from the film on display used to creative the giant-sized world of The Borrowers.

Original costumes worn by Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady on display...

Meryl Streep seems to have developed quite a knack for playing iconic women from history, be it america's culinary legend Julia Child in Julie & Julia, or Britain's first and only female Prime Minister 'Margaret Thatcher' in 2011's The Iron Lady.

The London Film Museum recently had a special 'Best of British' homage exhibit to the biopic and showcased a fantastic array of costumes designed by Consolata Boyle and original props featured in the movie. I had a chance to photograph these costumes on May 15, 2012.

You can't help but feel these fabulous recreations of the iconic Prime Minister's wardrobe, along with amazing aging special effects make-up, helped Meryl Streep transform herself into this legendary world leader and deliver an Oscar-winning performance in the film.

Blue is the colour of the Conservatives in Britain so it's no surprise that Margaret Thatcher wore a symbolic navy wool suit to the Conservative Party Conference in 1984.
