Designing The Gilded Age | The Gilded Age | HBO

[@tannerstubbe]

Kaisa, the costume designer for this show, deserves every possible award and praise. The care put into even the extras is unmatched. The subtleties in the costume designed between the main characters give each a true identity and personality. She's just incredible.

[@dorenah]

The show is like visual eye candy - the costumes, the scenery, the hair - every detail is recognized and appreciated!

[@TheRealSubourbonMermaid]

I knew from the very beginning that I would love this show, but I had no idea I'd become enamored with the characters so quickly. George and Bertha are the epitome of the term "relationship goals", and I hope in the next season we get a glimpse of what their courtship was like.

[@aiai-j7i]

Whoa...those are your relationship goals?? That is a little disturbing...

[@TheRealSubourbonMermaid]

@@aiai-j7i I don’t remember asking your opinion.

You di realize George is seriously contemplating having a affair with a the woman he fired right?

This series is MAGNIFICENT!!! Brilliant!!! So very well produced, written, directed and pleasing to the human eye. I love it!!! I’m literally OBSESSED and have been doing research on the period. Great job, HBO!!!

[@YodaPagoda]

I subscribed to HBO Max for this show, and my money was well spent, as seen with this production. I was unfamiliar with this time period, and it has been marvelous to get acquainted with this time in the United States. I am so grateful that we're getting a second season, so these sumptuous sets won't have to be dismantled, and am curious about taking a trip to Newport to view the marvelous "cottages" we've gotten to see!

[@SProdLLC]

Incredible series. Brilliant writing filled with metaphors, wit, humor and creativity. The creative minds behind the show put some much efforts in respecting the viewer’s intelligence and mostly deliver solid and complex performances with ease. Chapeau bas!!!

[@NegritaBrujita]

I can’t hardly wait for season 2!

[@10ksubscribechallenge65]

Please Sir, Do the Hindi Dubbed Of Game of Thrones ❤️. It's my humble request

[@RockAddicted7]

The attention to detail is impeccable, from costumes to set design. Love this show.

[@lalagonegaga]

Peggy and Mrs Chamberlain are BRINGING IT fashion-wise.

[@amberjohnsonlogan]

This show is wonderful- watched it with my 85 year old mother and we had the best time drinking it in. Thank you for showing us what it means to create dramatic art- the skill and work shine with every second.

[@chuckandmax7313]

I just love this show, it’s so perfectly well done. I’ll be so sad to have to wait for season 2, my Monday nights have been such a thrill. As a theater design and costume designer, this production has everything that it could have to make me drool. I wish I was working on this production, in any capacity. The costumes are so beautiful and the colors are so rich, Bertha does have some magnificent gowns , but everyone is dressed to the nines and only the servants are ever seen wearing the same outfit. I love how the women make wearing a bustle look so graceful and they flow in a light aired fashion which is not how I imagined them from looking at period designs. The scenery is out of this world and I just am amazed at every shot. The most significant part of this series has to be the storyline, it tells a story of a time in American history that has basically been lost. There’s a rich and vivid story of Black Americans that really needed to be seen, and I appreciate the way the storyline melds together fact and fiction and characters that cross in and out of each other’s storyline so flawlessly. These characters are well thought out fully developed and you really get to know their feelings and emotions. I can’t wait for more of the Gilded Age as it is truly a delight and has taken my mind off of current issues.

[@YourGraceMyLady]

It’s cool. I’m a Native American and I still appreciate the show. My ancestors were fighting against railroads and our land was being invaded by gold diggers illegally coming onto our land and killing us and stealing our gold in the Black Hills. The gold taken from our land saved the American economy at the time. The show is light and fun , so I don’t care about the political climate and racism towards my ppl at the time. They really don’t show that part and only mention the battle of the little big horn once in a joke.

[@WilliamsPinch]

1. We need Peggy in a ball gown.🗣 2. The costumes here blows Bridgerton out of the water!

[@magesalmanac6424]

Yes and yes 🙌

[@chloevroman4876]

Well, Bridgerton is set in the beginning of the 1800s, in the regency era that takes place between 1813 and 1827, and The Gilded Age takes place between 1865 and 1901, so it's two very different periods and I think both of the shows (to have seen both of them) have their own charms and both the costumes of these shows are incredible, wether it's with the colors, the fabrics or the stories they tell, I think they're both terrifically gorgeous ahah !

[@serebii666]

In Season 2 episode 7 we get to see her in an evening gown, at the Brooklyn Bridge reception.

[@bernadettebailey5370]

I love the scene when Marian first arrives! Her hair was disheveled! Then Peggy climbs out of the carriage with her hair and hat too disheveled! The look on Bannister’s and Jack’s faces are priceless! Marian lied about the ferry ride being so rough! And she didn’t even know Peggy’s name! They both still looked beautiful!

[@Zapp33311]

Some of the outfits are incredible and to think many of them are shown on screen for just a few seconds when it probably took days or weeks to create.

[@finestkindmedicinal5967]

There isn't a single small role in this series...I love it all

[@tiagoalcobia3288]

The dresses are one of the best things of this show!!

[@beautyallaroundme724]

The costumes & sets were a feast for the eyes!

[@mindfulskills]

This is a GORGEOUS drama that has the potential to be everything that Downton Abbey was. It could definitely go through many seasons as the decades pass and children grow up. Fellowes and his team have produced another smash hit!

[@Neddoest]

Congrats HBO- a show where it’s actually worth me watching on a television and not just iPad. Gorgeous 😍 🤩

[@ГульнораКасимходжаева]

Marian's all dresses were so graceful, stylish and beautiful!

[@Elmerphant]

Stunning visuals. But even more impressively done are the amazing plot points and characters. You become hooked instantly and tune in every week to join the ride. Season one is over now and I can't wait for Season 2!!!!!

[@MrAlen6e]

The hold asterisk of this series is brilliant , chefs kiss worthy. Everything is just amazing , the costumes the buildings , the food it really takes you to that period of time . I just want to see what comes next. I haven't been this excited about a show since downtown and velvet great job HBO

[@AsabiG]

I would love to see an episode solely devoted to the Scott family and their world.

[@mr.rightnow.7300]

I'm thinking they probably will. It's been brought up that they'll explore wealthy blacks who hit success in such a racially divided time. Good thought tho. I was wondering the same.

[@cynthiachengmintz672]

An episode? I want a spin-off!

[@AsabiG]

@@cynthiachengmintz672 I would LOVE that!!!

[@dholycross6628]

@@cynthiachengmintz672 Yes, that would be amazing!!! ♥️♥️

[@ndumi5124]

There is a series segment that HBO did on Black People during the Gilded Age. Really outstanding.

[@gailwebb9619]

I just finished watching the last episode and loved the whole season! The costumes are gorgeous and the homes, streets, exteriors are all fabulous!

[@oiat]

God I want to see Peggy in a ball dress SOOO BADLY 😭

[@bernadettebailey5370]

Pink, please!!

[@marloncervantes2512]

A TRIUMPH!! Perfect bookend to Downton. Both are rich well developed series. There is not one character, stitch of clothing or set design one does not like. I’m a HUGE FAN!

[@YourGraceMyLady]

The fashion from this is one of the reasons I watch this

[@fosterfuchs]

It's not just that the clothes made people stand up straight. What we are also missing in the present age is when people left upset, they forcefully said "Good Day, Sir!" 😂

[@veronicadebell4739]

Everything in this show is beautiful, I really love this show 👏👏👏👏👏

[@brionsarachan4500]

Many of the street scenes shown in the last 1.5 minutes of the video (and in the show itself) are downtown Troy, NY.

[@MeMyselfAndUs903]

6:00 Learning how the production designers create the visual effects is the most fascinating for me, as in this example of the street facades.

[@cadaver6665]

Ah how I wish these behind the scene featurettes were more like 2-hour documentaries. I'd absolutely watch an in-depth look at the historical research, design and production behind the costumes. I want to know all on how they decided on the different styles for each character, especially in this production the costumes are a story of their own - they tell so much while still remaining mostly period-appropriate. Bertha's costumes are a hit or miss and I think that was deliberate. Agnes always looks pretty similar, even her ballgown was like a bejeweled version of what she regularly wears, and it works as she's opposed to new things. Ada looks both weird and classy. Peggy looks elegant, stylish but more understated, her looks were consistently good. Loved Mrs. Chamberlain's and Aurora's clothes... everything reflects their personalities so well. I think it's interesting they say that the men look 'classic' when you have Oscar randomly dressed like a steampunk Elton John every other scene and it absolutely works. He is in desperate need of a better hairstyle though, it's so unnatural looking.

[@mihaelafilipescu5818]

Is not easy working on film set hard job for the people working on the wardrobe department. I did work on film set period drama I love it even the end of the day I was exosted after 14 hours a day working.

[@bernadettebailey5370]

I’ve watched this over and over again just to absorb the beauty of detail of the costumes! The unexpectedly eye-popping textures of lace and colors are just jaw dropping! Even the extra characters’ costumes were perfectly sewn in detail 👍🏻. I’ve been a seamstress since childhood and have sewn every pleat, bodice, puff, palpum, drape, suit, collar, etc. Marian’s favorite blue and gold dress was among one of my favorites! All of them were - Not only were Bertha’s and Gladys’ dresses stars, but Marian’s Tiffany blue and brown outfit were eye catching, as well as Agnes’ and Ada’s, outfits! Peggy’s pretty in pink took my breath away!

[@shizumaakiyama3129]

I started watching because a lot of the outside shots are filmed in Troy NY. But this show is amazing i love it.

[@willcox4561]

Outstanding series!

[@nehawasnik9623]

Absolutely loved the costomes and the production design. Julian Fellowes and Gareth Naeme are definitely duo to reckon with as far as historically accurate period dramas are concerned.

[@dianastella]

This series is an eye candy, a delight to watch and be transported to that world. Fellowes never disappoints with his story writing and the cast is perfection. ❤❤❤

[@Cassander_von_Quitzow]

We loved the Series in Germany! I hope there will be more and more! Can’t get enough! ❤

[@LarisaBayaMomo]

Loved it so much. It was absolutely perfect in every way possible. Can't wait for season 2.

[@yvonneplant9434]

Consider that all these clothes were seen only in black and white photographs. So for a lot of viewers this is probably the first time that they became aware of how much color these women wore!

[@serahloeffelroberts9901]

In the 19th century German scientists produced the first synthetic aniline dyes which resulted in fabric in brilliant often startling colors.

[@Concepcion30]

Well done, I just finished binging this and it was fantastic. Like the actress said, every episode I wanted to see what Mrs. Russel was wearing. She also repeated outfits far fewer times than the rest of the cast which makes sense, she had a lot of screen time and she's one of those divas who wouldn't believe in repeating outfits if the show were real life as well.

[@pg1367]

What a BEAUTIFUL show😍 I’ve honestly never been into period pieces but this show got me🙌🏾

[@pinkbomb4307]

ugh obsessed.....soooo good

[@spankybee]

they filmed quite a few bits down the street and around the corner from my house and that was really cool. a lot of the architecture in my city is from that era so there was no need for much building or visual effects aside from the dirt road, they buried our roads and the big building they lit up in the lighting ceremony and Lady Libertys hand were CGI. I took lots of pics of the sets when we were allowed to walk around them.

I have not seen this series yet but I will! I have heard so much from fellow historical costume/clothing enthusiast as well as the design & sewing of them. Some reviews are most excellent some are a bit more nit picky. I just love seeing them as they are but I will balk at a pair of zip up boots!
