How 'Bridgerton' Costumes Were Designed | Behind the Seams | InStyle

[@tiffanyi5645]

I love how self aware they are with the costumes. They’re not trying to recreate the period, they’re being inspired by it. Using Bernadette Banner’s term: “It’s a Style Choice” and it’s beautiful!!!

[@CG-lf8st]

I was thinking of Bernadette banner's costume reviews the entire time I was watching this!

[@tiffanyi5645]

@CG-lf8st I literally love her! Lol

[@tiffanyi5645]

@lsusanna3 I thought I would feel that way also, I finally have it try last month and it’s really well done! Modern day elements are incorporated throughout the show, the music played at the balls are modern pop songs, the makeup is wildly modern, the women have very modern outlooks on life, and so on….I find it interesting and entertaining

[@Angel-ts8rc]

That’s fine except the part that they wear corsets, ridiculous. The historically accurate silhouette would look better and actually sexier

[@vb7794]

@@Angel-ts8rc This ! I can't understand how they can have such beautiful costumes but use such terrible corsets

[@haileybischoff5943]

I want a Bridgeton costume museum after this show is over. The work and creativity amazes me. I’m serious when I say 50% of why I watch this show is because I love the clothes!

[@RedHeadAgent]

Excellent idea!!! I couldn’t agree more! It would be glorious- 7,500 costumes to choose from

[@amytemple9204]

Me toooooooo!!!!!!

[@nataliekearns]

They should definitely do one of those tours like Downton Abbey did where they take the clothes and some of the props around to different cities.

[@missvaniglia1659]

Anch'io lo guardo anche per questo. Avranno creato dall'inizio centinaia di costumi.

[@krishnacollins8001]

I love that idea!!!

[@R.T_W]

the costumes are definitely a factor in the success of the show. They're one of the first things that captivates the viewers. The artistry and beauty of each person gives the show a premium quality. Kudos to all the artists involved.

[@MegaFluffyBunny]

Honestly, it's one of the only reasons I'm still watching. I find myself rolling my eyes constantly at some of the scenes and dialogue. But I have to hand it to them that everyone looks stunning!

[@byejesper]

colin's clothes were STUNNING

[@pmclaughlin4111]

For all the gorgeousness of the dresses-It's the men's clothes that really get me. They are so much closer to historical than the historically inspired womens clothing which makes them feel even more genius. I am in love with waistcoats and watch fobs! (BTW hands down best outfit for the first 4 was Colin's hero balloon scene blue shirt and vest)

[@natatatt]

@@pmclaughlin4111 I feel like the men's clothes being a bit more historically accurate works great at grounding the costumes a bit in history, so that they can then have a bit more fun with the women's costuming.

[@14suryashi]

I think it’s also the fact that men dressing this way in today’s time would be so cool, like girls still wear dresses but men haven’t worn these kind of clothes in song, bring this fashion back!

[@nanciyahn4343]

El look salvador chaleco con las rayas encontradas pantalón ajustado y botas , súper sexy

[@ASMRColoringTheresa]

@@pmclaughlin4111Colin looked SO good in the balloon scene, I had to rewatch it a few times just because of his outfit because he really pulls it off!

[@kay__93]

All dresses are breathtaking but that dark green dress that Penelope wears? It's iconic. One of the most beautiful movie dresses that I've ever seen. 👏👏

[@SaiiiiiiSaiiiii]

Honestly? It reminded me so much of Rose's jumping dress from Titanic. I was in awe.

[@carriepickett2687]

Totally agree, that reveal is going to be in my top 10 reveal moments now! The reluctant reveal.

[@AK-jt9gx]

Absolutely. When a show is going to ham it up with the “wallflower gets a makeover” trope, it has to DELIVER with that new look being breathtaking. And they absolutely did. Nicola is beautiful, and all the departments in charge of making that shine through did their absolute finest work.

[@Zelda00Gamer]

It’s my least favorite dress 😂 but I do love her pastel blue one with the dark appliqué

[@Craighnadun1743]

Sissi avec romy Schneider. Autant en emporte le vent et j en passe

[@txurbanbunny]

I love how they added the modern touches to the regency era costumes. They are just breathtaking. Male and female.

[@I_am_Lauren]

Everyone in the costume department deserves a raise!

[@floa6033]

Yep they do instead they cut the pay for the third season

[@DariaElGrellPozina]

I would pay so much money for a giant book on the costumes and even more for a costume department excursion, I'm in awe of what they're doing, every season it gets better and better. The lace, ombre organza/tulles, sparkling and painted fabrics this season? Gorgeous, I can't stop oogling every single person in the frame. And I'm so glad these clearly creative people are given the resources and the space to create all of these, especially as the show evolves and we see more cultural elements on a more diverse cast (there was a particularly beautiful eastern-looking floral fabric on an asian debutant in ep 2 that I've started noticing).

[@ayandsf]

Yes!!! I want to see all the beautiful costumes in a book. Seriously, these are works of art! And with commentary on what how they created th looks.

[@Waggers789]

Costumes are fascinating!! Or an exhibition of the costumes.

[@queenwere1]

Me too ❤

[@jenniferhawkins9020]

Yep, take my money, now! I hope the gowns and men's costumes are made into an art show or museum!

[@Only1sticks]

I agree

[@i12koo]

cressida's dresses were so different and eye catching. they didn't look the most flattering but i enjoyed that she really wanted to express herself like that

[@carriepickett2687]

The shoulders just kept expanding!!!

[@meckie9266]

And her hair! I enjoy that it is very elaborate everytime

[@kumquatfruit7331]

There is some explanations !! People are saying that it is to show her distance with the others and you can see in the scene in the park when she only talks with Eloise that she doesn't have the big shoulders cause she opens herself to her It his also to symbolise a bird cage, she is trapped in it in the same way she is trapped in her house with her abusive parents Some historian also say that it was a la mode a decade after and it show the way she is in advance on her time

[@janeenharrison1953]

I love the exaggeration of her clothes!! Entertaining...indeed.

[@danibee]

I interpret Cressida's growing eccentricity as desperation to be noticed and to find a husband, as it's her third year "out". Also to be free of her oppressive family home.

[@jellyboo-js3bb]

in s3 costumes are on another level especially dresses

[@heatherwarner865]

Kate's dress in the first episode of S3 is EPIC. The Bridgerton Blue with the brown and copper was jaw dropping. It really set her up as the Vicountess.

[@krystellegibson9614]

Yesssss her outfits are not given nearly enough attention!

[@sebelleT]

I like how this team is not limited by historical accuracy making it clear that everything in this story is about fantasy and they gave us more fashion in the clothes and hairstyles and Dougie excelled making the men look so good, masculine but without submitting to boring or very serious tones 😎🔥

[@queenwere1]

Someone should do a show on how the hairstyles were done

[@Shelbzz]

Penelope’s new look reveal was DIVINE. Her hair, the dress color. She looked like fire burning in the middle of the deepest ocean. ❤

[@TrishaEvansLutterodt]

As a Ghanaian, seeing Adinkra symbols woven into Lady Danbury's outfits made me swell with pride!!

[@MaeveHoward]

I could watch an hour of these artists discussing their work. The costumes this season were on another level and contributed so much to the story!!

[@TheBeautifulDisaster]

Loved every one of Eloise's outfits in season three so far!

[@happydaze7976]

Eloise is stunning this season. The coat she wore was so beautiful, I want one for myself. ❤❤❤

[@wwaxwork]

@@happydaze7976 Oh lord yes that coat is amazing. Almost deco in feel.

[@kumquatfruit7331]

And they had to improvise for her cast I think it's so fun

[@mona-mo3sd]

i actually preferred season 2s, i don’t like the way the puff sleeves look this season😭

[@ranga1cat]

This is the best of artistry. Learn all the rules and then decide which ones can be broken to create the desired effect.

[@karouakiva1714]

Lady Danbury is such a badass. I hadn't noticed the West-African inspired jewelry, but I'll be paying more attention in the next rewatch.

[@hollum1648]

That dark green dress is effing gorgeous

[@tg7598]

"Except for God, fear nothing." I SCREAMED that is SO Danbury

[@ella7509]

These departments are doing an excellent job. I am in awe in every single episode an scene of how much work and creativity had gone into this. It's not just the romantic Stories, but the art that mesmerizes me. It brings me so much joy.

[@CG-lf8st]

I would LOVE to see a Bridgeton costume exhibition so I could get up close and really study all the intricate detail

[@wabbitwabbit98]

I’m pretty sure they do have one, I’ve seen influencers go to them

[@delia.m28]

I could easily watch a 4h documentary on this. Stunning!

[@barbb1672]

So could I !!!!! I think really should create a “Making of Bridgerton documentary series.

[@exlline]

I love the evolution of the costumes. It really elevates the show and the characters. It fits with the setting of AU regency London which allows the costumes to be not 100% historically accurate.

[@CharlotteLyfe]

Loved every single dress of Penelope so far in her new glow up.

[@rw835]

1000% agree - I seriously can’t pick a favorite, they’re all STUNNING

[@cazia9]

I love the paisley Jaguar analogy - you recognize the dress lines of the times but they use whatever colours they like to make a point of storytelling

[@charliespinoza1966]

This is the main reason I watch Bridgerton, fabrics and seams. I want a five hour documentary please and thank you ❤

[@channonmock]

8:17 'and then draws it to the - the exciting place' CRAZY DOUGIE, CRAZY 😂😂

[@LiseMartel-m4u]

An absolute WORK OF ART!!! I am a sewer myself, therefore I understand the commitment and intricate work that goes into each and every costume. I sincerely hope and would love to see this group win an ACADEMY AWARD for Best Costume Design! That would be the cherry on top for me.

[@reginarobertkrystyn]

Emmy at best….unless the make a Bridgerton film!!!!!

[@JC-yy8iv]

Maybe this year 🤞 they’ve been nominated both years they’ve been eligible so perhaps this year will be the one

[@gabiferrazoli2253]

violets ombre sparkling gown was one of the prettiest ive ever seen, they really elevated the costumes this season and you can notice how much work and thought was put into it

[@AphroditeD]

Penelope's / Nicola's looks are PHENOMENAL this season!

[@annemariestrehl]

They are always outdoing themselves with the costumes. The details and artistry is amazing. But the way they plant Easter eggs and reflect where the characters are in the story and how they are relating to others through colour and texture is phenomenal

[@justanniemusing]

I am OBSESSED that they are incorporating 3D printing in their costuming. I've been waiting to see this used!!!

[@aranza256]

We need a spinoff with all the details about how bridgerton is made... everything is so smart and well done, its a shame we didn't know more about it. I just love it

[@barbb1672]

That’s so true. I recently listened to a podcast with the choreographer, he has a lot to tell as well, fascinating!

[@sophiaguzman4757]

​@@barbb1672 What's the podcast and episode called? I'd love to listen too

[@aranza256]

@@sophiaguzman4757 there is an official shondaland podcast about Bridgerton... I think is that

[@ourabouras]

I love that this show has empowered the creative staff to flaunt their technical skills and encouraged the various departments to work collaboratively, the final products are simply stunning. I found myself just as amazed by Cressida’s wigs and gowns as I was with the Queen’s. And it’s wonderful seeing all of the different ethnic inspired gowns, not only Kate’s Regency inspired sari but I also saw hanboks and kimonos flitting through the crowds. Top notch work😁

[@LottaCoffee]

The costumes are real works of art and absolutely stunning in every episode. What an amazing team of designers!

[@abbyhogan5129]

I need a whole docu-series on everything going into the costuming process

[@vantoosh]

Yes! And with slow lingering pans for maximum drool and ogle opportunities!

[@DariaElGrellPozina]

Also I've only noticed Colin's horse vest on a second watch and ITS SO PRETTY

[@gpbandchick2010]

I couldn't stop admiring lady danbury's outfit in the 4th episode during the ball. she was stunning!!

[@AruNur-h5y]

11:23 oh😍🙌🏻 the way West African people’s culture is similar to ours ❤️‍🔥. The the symbol on her ring is also similar to “Qusqanat Oyu”, Kazakh’s common significant symbol which also related to bird. And the quote that she said, “except God fear nothing” it is also our people’s life concept❤ So, big hug for all African people from Kazakh girl🇰🇿💗.

[@dancerfruit2]

Really and truly this is why it takes 2 years

[@izzybeth]

For real. A bunch of those crazy delicate fabrics (not to mention the 3D printed stuff) probably can't be machine sewn, they most likely have to be hand sewn which takes so much time!

[@the_piano_nerd4960]

I’d consider the 2 years well worth it. I’m glad they didn’t rush and made costumes worth revisiting for forever. Truly stunningb

[@jajac7888]

Truly! The intricacy of all the handmade details!

[@MononokeLynn]

All the costumes this season were breathtaking! The soft pastels, Pen’s costumes, etc just so perfect!

[@victoriakatchan2170]

costumes this season is on another level, thank you

[@purplerobin92]

I'm usually all for historical accuracy in period drama costume BUT Brigerton's costume are just a work of art on their own. I envy those people that get to work on them and make them so much. I would love to create such gowns

[@AnnamariaAhlin]

Regency clothes are quite easy to sew together, but the details take time! Ribbons, maybe embroidery (not a must), appliqués... There are societies all over Europe and the USA that teach dances and organize balls in the style. I have been to several countries and met people who like Regency while dancing in beautiful mansions. It has become a fun and really nice hobby. I recommend it.

[@Anfani]

They deserve everything as wardrobe. Everyone that plays a part in how these people look are PHENOMENAL

[@ek05jl]

And there’s just soooo many dresses and outfits. Each one stuns.

[@WildWyatts]

I seriously drool over the costuming. I want to learn to sew on that level. I wish I had gone to school for costuming the way I wanted to in high school. It’s fantastic.

[@monikanikolova1099]

Absolutely mind-blowing. These pieces deserve to be in a museum. This is what happens when creators and artists are given freedom. It's breathtaking.

[@patriciagreen5662]

As a former costume designer I appreciate all the hours of work it takes to make such amazing costumes. Well done everyone involved.

[@nehasarna2137]

[@miketz6082]

You should do this an entire mini documental for Netflix or something like that cause its amazing, interesting and sooo important for the success of the show and the characters personality and also evolution through the 3 seasons!!!
