What Different Dresses Mean In Bridgerton

[@boppingyt]

Any more topics you would like to know more about in Bridgerton? Comment below💖

[@vasudhasharma5532]

You forget to discuss the Indian fabrics, colours and motifs in Kate’s dresses. And the ball gown looks like a dupatta that’s taken with a lehenga choli in Indian dress. Even her Jewellery had a lot of gold and stones like Indian jewellery does.

[@boppingyt]

Wow really! That’s amazing, we didn’t know that. Thanks for mentioning this🙏

[@renuka394]

Yes, I saw Banarasi brocades in some dresses ❤

[@devilskinn]

That was my favourite part about the teaser trailer when Kate and Anthony dance together. She is lovely and stands out for sure.

[@marissawilson4644]

Exactly! The Indian fabrics were so regal!!

[@billyjean7169]

So

[@saraangel6696]

Bridgerton is not meant to be an accurate show anyways, so who cares if the costumes are 100% historical or not? It’s a nice little fantasy, and we love it like that

[@boppingyt]

Agreed, they’re a dream 💖

[@marietaylor5174]

I could not have stated it better!

[@angelinashankle75]

It's only working because we are STARVED for Bridgerton content! This is where we find ourselves lol 😂

[@amandasnider2644]

It's an homage

[@nebula541]

a lot of people had a problem with the first season because they were trying to be historically accurate. when they fully embraced the unreal, fantasial aesthetic, everyone including historical accuracy enjoyers approved!

[@dustymomentpatio1883]

the reason for penelope wearing yellow in the books was that the featherington's mom thought yellow would make penelope look happier because yellow is a happy color

[@ah5721]

I thought it was orange .

[@pashminagal]

Yellow is associated with the sun, it stands for optimism, joy, enlightenment, but also for duplicity, cowardice, betrayal. Indicating that Penelope has secrets!

[@tinyceasarsalad]

it also shows that people tend to look at the bright yellow and notice the person wearing them, but people dont even notice penelope as she walks amongst them. its supposed to show how overlooked she is, despite wearing such bright colours

[@tankhuncarps]

"She was forced to wear yellow and red and orange, all of which made her look perfectly wretched. Yellow, Mrs. Featherington declared, was a happy color and a happy girl would snare a husband." Just started to read the book today.

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

I am glad this shows she tried doing something nice for Penelope. She should have listened to Penelope about how much she hated the color, but choosing a happy color for her daughter shows she cares a little. I really do not like how she treats Penelope, but I don’t want to think she doesn’t love any of them either.

[@kanishaarora5012]

Did anyone notice that Kate’s hairstyle changed according to her feelings towards Antony? When she arrived, she had perfect buns and no loose ends as she was on alert and clear with what she wanted. Slowly as she falls for Antony, her hair loosens and her look becomes more and more softer… especially when she feels vulnerable, when her hair is left open. In Season 3, all the looks till now show her softer, romantic and more feminine side; including her hairstyle!

[@mitsycat2803]

True. When she first meets him, her hair is down. That is before she begins to dislike him. She is open to him. Her hair when they are in the library.... down. And so on. Every single moment she seems to actually acknowledge her feelings towards him in any way, her hair is down even after her fall. She might be rejecting him in that moment, but not because she doesn't love him. She does at that point and she knows it. Good point.

[@gaiamorgosi7181]

The fact that they did ALL the costumes, no rentals or anything is amazing!

[@lilachodan4941]

Yes. Wow. It is so awesome.

[@ElizaArika]

I heard they repurpose the costumes of featured characters if that character won't use it anymore by making background characters wear them. Saw pic of background characters wearing Violet's coats and dresses. Probably part of the reason why they don't allow the actors to keep their costumes because they still have, potentially, a few more seasons to work on and need to reuse those

[@jennaolbermann7663]

They are beautiful and well planned.

[@lethellsing]

In the books her mother chooses yellow, orange and red gowns because they are happy colours to make Pen look happier and not sad and miserable, though they do nothing for her peaches and cream complexion, they make her look dull. Green and Blue are colours that suit her best making her shine.

[@lilachodan4941]

Especially pastel blue and green

[@saraschreier]

"beautiful and elaborate features" is about the most graceful way you could have made that point, and I appreciate that

[@MeredithHagan]

Hah yes that was beautifully done! 😂

[@happydaze7976]

All the costumes in Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte are amazing.

[@thaisgesterling]

Ughhh YESS I love how extra Queen Charlottes dresses are✨

[@sarahthomas8670]

I abree

[@suzyla3883]

its not greek or roman culture it's indian culture whcih inspired kate's lehenga or dress. u have to remember her origins and identity.

[@erineclair3446]

although it didn't aim for accuracy to the historic timeline of garments- i am amazed at the huge amount of thought and detail put on the costume design of Bridgerton. Its not just the fabrics or how its shaped but also the subtle shifts on wardrobe color of a character to show character growth amazes me!

[@mirna.prasaja]

totally agree with you!

[@Stephanie.Hudson]

I always liked Portia’s wardrobe. Her neckline and quarter length sleeves fit the actress. Plus some of the patterns are really pretty.

[@Nienna_Surion]

Really? Those are the only ones I never grew to like. They felt to contradict her character …. Her desire to fit in, to be love and praised… 🤔

[@Stephanie.Hudson]

@@Nienna_Surion I see what you’re saying but it’s almost like she wants to fit in but also stand out. Her daughters wear the typical empire and scooped neckline but she doesn’t. Her patterns are bright like her daughters, but bolder. I like them and her.

[@Nienna_Surion]

@@Stephanie.Hudson indeed….to me, I feel it would have feel more fit to her character to have have the empire style but with a lil “crasy twist” that make her stand out. With this shape of dress… she just feel so… willingly outcast… “I don’t care what other think” … when it s deffinitly not her … she cares a lot. It realy separate her for everyone else… but I guess we just recognize her at first sight … maybe they thought we would forgot who she was… 🤔

[@saraierace1643]

Me too, it's a bit "out there", but Portia pulls it off.

[@tarawalker7193]

Hers are always my favorites.

[@pomb4946]

Lady Danbury has the most delicious wardrobe. Always stunning.

[@sarahthomas8670]

I agree

[@MindiB]

Me, too. And I love her slightly masculine hats! Adjoa Andoh wears the costumes so well, too. They suit her as well as her character.

[@sheliahingson8746]

She is so elegant and powerful.Her character is one tough cookie !!

[@maximumvio1et677]

That's reading a bit too much into why Penelope's dress is green and is kind of wrong. It's actually foreshadowing that the new season will be about Penelope becoming her own person finally--while Penelope is initially associated with yellow, she becomes associated with green in her and Colin's book as she begins choosing her own dresses, particularly green being flattering on her. So saying the color is bc she's marrying a Bridgerton is a bit undermining to her arc--green represents Pen coming into herself. The fact that blue + yellow = green is coincidence (a nice one but still coincidence).

[@joanarebecacruz411]

but the same thing happened with kate in season 2. The Sharma‘s family color is light pink, while the Bridgerton is mainly blue. Kate then starts wearing dark and light purple dresses, while Edina stays wearing pink. so I don’t think the color theory for Penelope is that far off/a coincidence.

[@natashamoran8408]

I actually agree with the video. It’s happened with other characters too

[@relayniedarcy]

Wait a minute. Does that mean we might see Colin in a wet shirt too?!

[@midnightsunflower3473]

Maybe, there’s a scene in the books that he falls into a lake 🤞🏽

[@symoneayanna3570]

Crossing my fingers!

[@sarahthomas8670]

LMAOAAOA

[@temmybanana]

I think they did a perfect job merging more modern elements (materials, designs/cuts, music, casting people of colour etc) into the regency era. It never feels cringe or out of line but as a viewer i can tell they put a lot of thought and effort into every little detail without trying too hard. This sets it apart from other series imo. Can’t wait for the new season & great video as always!

[@aliceeve6421]

Simon's Red and Daphne's Blue = Daphne's Lavender dress in the finally Kate's pink dress and Anthony's teal = Kate's violet dress Penelope's yellow and Collin's blue = Green dress.

[@explodingmangos3416]

7:58 purple is also the opposite color to yellow (gold) so she was putting herself as far away from her marriage (on the color wheel) as possible

[@lousielouise8716]

The yellow dresses are instrumental to Pen’s “glow up.” The yellow clashes with her hair and complexion to make her look tacky and undesirable. In the new season she’s out of the yellow- thank Heavens!

[@zamieca.]

I never thought of the color mixing concept, that's wow.

[@rabbitlovesraven]

I absolutely LOVED Penelope's season 3 dresses, especially the dark green one she wears to the one ball, it was so pretty

[@jojomakes]

I feel so dumb for just now realizing that all of the Bridgerton kids are named in alphabetical order lol

[@pinkdunkin]

Coming back here after watching the season 3 trailer, I was so excited to see the sparkly dark green dress that Penelope wears and her non yellow dresses. So much detail in the costume and colour palette. Great analysis

[@rainysummer2146]

One day, i will be one of those talented designers making such dresses.

[@lilachodan4941]

Same.

[@meighanwalcott1921]

I hope you guys dreams came true ❤❤😊😊

[@mimib1583]

Do it!

[@sheliahingson8746]

Praying you will do just that !!❤

[@asen8976]

Eloise's dress from season 3 looks like Cinderella's dress

[@karenward267]

Old money whispers, new money shouts.

[@tibbyl8350]

This is a good video but also disregards the books that discuss clothing and style choices. It also disregards some of the things said in the series. Lady Danbury wears gold because her husband's favorite color was gold. Penelope dressed like a citrus fruit because her Mother thought those to be happy colors and it would land her a man. When she wears flattering colors it's because her mom gives up on her getting a man and Penelope is a spinster chaperone for her younger sisters now getting pick clothes for herself.

[@Ottolineification]

Personally I am not a fan of orange and yellow colours, but I still like the Featheringtons style. I think that Penelope's sisters look gorgeous. The only issue is the silhouette of the dresses that their mama wears, which is unflattering to anyone with any figure. But their dresses are perfectly fine imo

[@lilachodan4941]

Lady Featherington for me looks like evil stepmother in this extravagant dress and jewellery. The same with the sister, the colors and hair totally stepsister of Cinderella

[@kikidevine694]

I think she looks absolutely stunning. Making the most of her dangerous curves

[@lelelolo-b4b]

how can someone make a video like this and never notice the indian influence in kate’s dresses…

[@lauren1937]

I appreciate Bridgerton even more after viewing this video. The meticulousness and thought that has gone into this series is incredible. I’m so excited for season 3. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched season 1 and 2. 🤣

[@alexlemaire8513]

my issue isnt the inaccuracy, its a fantasy. the issue is how often they dont fit when they should be tailor made. the waistline should not be mid boob! portia also has the weird tight waist empire waist mashup but shes weird so whatever she wants i guess. the corset tight lacing scene in season 1 did piss me off not only cause im tired of that misconception but also theyre wearing gowns that have no defined waist😭

[@Wakanda888]

When you look back at the first two seasons of Bridgerton, Penelope did give warning to the characters that she interacted with whenever they like did something to upset her or was getting too close for comfort. So, her wearing yellow and it also representing warning makes sense for her character. I love how the costumes and color palettes in Bridgerton aren't just about fashion, it's so much more than that.

[@KateEatonn]

I hope they will sell some of the gowns, I desperately need one. I just want a Bridgerton dress and a Bridgerton man🥵and I will be eternally happy🥰

[@kimberlyrobinson3992]

Keep in mind that a “Bridegerton man” won’t expect you to vote or have a job or pursue a degree in higher education. So, if you’re okay being a pampered house pet and not an adult then go ahead, by all means.

[@cristinaestrella]

@@kimberlyrobinson3992 I think they meant bridgerton man purely in looks and personality, not time period influence lol. I think we can all agree that modern times are way better in terms of women's rights but yes I'd definitely kill for a Bridgerton Dress and Makeover

[@samanthaberglund]

@@kimberlyrobinson3992 Well I don't think the Bridgerton brother cares as long they are happy and besides they have a kind heart

[@terrib627]

If you've got the money, Etsy can fit you right up, but it'll cost you.

[@FernandaApontee]

Also the Crane´s family color is yellow as we seen in s2, and Eloise dress with the pressed flower is green, blue + yellow = green, like Pen and Colin

[@Satanna.avemaria]

They are real couture which is probably why the stars are not allowed to take them home. The amount of detail on them is astounding ❤️💖🌸

[@sallyomahony1108]

The costumes are incredible, but I can’t help wondering how anyone managed to walk around with those enormous wigs. Their necks must have been so painful by the end of the day.

[@taylorsleftoe]

So Eloise’s wardrobe in season three might hint that season 4 is going to be her season? Makes sense since Polin is already happening

[@izengolf1]

They better hurry up or she will be 40 playing 20.

[@rups6936]

She was a spinster in her book and was almost 30 so it's alright

[@juliamellamo]

This is what i was thinking of when I watched s3! And then i found this video! Thank you! I could see very clear the colour change on Pens style as i was watching the series! I love these explanations!

[@hannahgrace9215]

The video I needed! But they are old money just trying to maintain status without actually having the old money and then cousin Jack is new money but they’re still an old family which is why Portia married the father

[@idaka3707]

Who’s here after watching the first four episodes of season 3 because they can’t let go of the show for another month?

[@mffmoniz2948]

I'm looking forward to the dresses finally showing Penelope. So far they hid her bust when all the other ladies are almost falling off. Keeps her looking like a kid by comparison.

[@jenniferjohnson3505]

Now I seee why there is such a long time between seasons. Wow that’s amazing!

[@jessicaponticello8937]

I personally prefer Kate and her mom and sisters dress they are such pretty colors and well cut for thier body’s very flattering! I

[@MKLuciouSTV]

Ironically the featheringtons and queen Charlottes wardrobe are my favorites, it's wild that the featheringtons are supposed to stand out in a bad way because of their fashion choices

[@isabelleskiss]

Finally a soul who understands me! I, too, always enjoyed the Featheringtons' vibrant, over-the-top costumes; I found them cheerful and confident.💛🧡♥

[@kyfarm]

Why would the dresses be accurate to the era when the entire show inaccurate? Bridgerton is a Regency Era set in an alternate universe, a Bridgerton "What If," like Star Trek. Nothing has to be the same, it is a whole other world, they can make it as they like. And I'm pretty sure it is this way on purpose.

[@Octobris]

Bridgerton is a fantasy. Let us live that fantasy for a bit, dear critics!

[@shamar4005]

I love yellow on Penelope. She looks radiant.. wait... Wait am I Portia's in real word... Dang....

[@maryanderson4895]

Love love love the dresses, and Queen Charlotte's wigs are absolutely amazing....I always look forward to see what wig she has on!!

[@katherinepage320]

My only question about the dresses is why is Portia Featherington the only woman whose dress is fitted? The rest all widen around the rib cage, even the other adult women.

[@symoneayanna3570]

Awesome video ❤❤I always knew dresses were separated by class but did not know the depth the colors meant!

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

I was going to make a joke about all Penelope needed to do was wear blue to get noticed by colin, but I remember that she did attract his notice from the beginning due to her actions and wit. I know he took forever to see her romantically, but am glad he saw her for her good qualities when they became friends.

[@nez01]

I hope those costumes are reused or given away to the cast and staff cause it’ll be such a waste for beautiful gowns to just sit there and collect dust

[@cindyphipps7507]

I love this show, I don’t care what they wear. It’s the story that I like

[@natg4984]

I never thought the colors looked bad on Penelope. Sometimes even the design isn't THAT bad. It was just sometimes the cut of the dress (and the hairstyle).

[@bethanyhait6880]

Purple is a mourning color in Regency England, so Lady Danbury wearing purple immediately after her husband’s death doesn’t necessarily signify her joy. It could just be pointing out that there’s been a death in the family.

[@Kitkat-qq7oh]

Really enjoyed your video. I just subscribed. 😊😊

[@boppingyt]

Wow! Welcome to the channel💖

[@Starpinklittle]

*Lady Danbury, The Queen, Penelope and Daphne are the best dressed here 🤩. Otherwise there's CRESSIDA, as a Vanity Fair model with your trinkets. 😂*

[@sarahford6609]

Wonderful video Would be amazing for you to do another indeepth one including the queen, Calpers and other familiar of the ton

[@retro.raider]

We need to remember, this is historical fantasy. Not a historical biography.

[@tiarneethorpe8848]

Maybe because Pride and prejudice the BBC series gets repeated so much in the UK that's why the fashion from bridgerton seems so normal or u become desensitised to the beauty. Thank you for reminding me ❤

[@mn4169]

Accurancy gives a stamp of quality.

[@TheEverGrowingRosey-333]

Honestly Kate’s unusual gown for season 3 possibly looks like an attempted hybrid of the regency look & evoke some styles of the Indian sari garment. With lists of touches of modern looks too. Emphasis on possibly though, cause I could be dead wrong.

[@PhyllisHardge]

❤❤❤❤THE DRESSES AND GOWNS WERE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I LOVED THEM ALL 😊😊😊😊

I loved the video, this was an amazing interpretation

[@blossomedits_1]

i’ve never even seen bridgerton (nor do i really want to) but i LOVE the costumes

[@amarachimoses]

I'm begging you. Please go watch it. And come back to tell me that you have. Please! The movie is that good.

[@dorrolorro]

I appreciate historical accuracy, but I won't demand it. My issue with the costumes in Bridgerton was how horribly fitted they were. The waist was supposed to be under the bust, but almost every character had their breast smashed across the underboob instead. Some people say it was only Penelope who had ill-fitting dresses, and that it had some underlying meaning. But that is just not true, Daphne, Eloise, Violet, and Kate, neither of them had enough space for their bosom. I blame time issues. The costume team probably had 5 minutes per dress and was obliged to create 5 million dresses. It's such a shame since Daphne's dresses were all identical. They could have sewn a third of the dresses and actually sewn them well as well as unique instead. They had such a massive budget, it's truly saddening

[@RainbowSlime00]

I was hoping u would also talk about Cressida dress, cuz we all know her dress in every season always so... luxurious

[@a.g.demada5263]

We can say it shows her vanity

[@Fhornergal]

"Beautiful and elaborate features", polite way of saying breasts. Those features are on quite the display as they would have been in the Regency Era.

[@mjean6762]

Ellen Mirojnick chose the best words to describe the Bridgerton family's dresses. Powders and whispers...aaahhh. 😊

[@IlariaN94]

I was expecting some explanation about Cressida's dresses, which are always the most extravagant

[@simplieshine]

Amazing breakdown! Thank you 😊😊

[@boppingyt]

Thank you💖

[@adameleliott1777]

Loved your video that was solid work ! But I just realized something that doesn’t sit well with me : women outfits are the only one to evoluate after marriage ! You really get the feeling that they change their identity while men don’t, and given Anthony’s journey throughout s2 it feels kinda disappointing.

[@ladylibertywdc8324]

Sidebar: that lyrical line came from The Beatles....

[@Cantseemuch]

I‘m not quite sure if I get your link to Eliza Doolittle. For me Eliza is a hardworking intelligent woman who takes chances and transforms her life without loosing her heritage as a flower girl, hence the flowers in her dresses. And the story is about emancipation and hypocrisy of men. So using Eliza as a reference for the use of costumes for storytelling and characterization, definitely yes. But I’m not sure about “hating societal standards and pushing for a difference”, as Eliza does try and want to fit in but wants to be recognized and respected as equal. Which kind of fits Eloise to be fair. That’s how I would understand it. But I really do like bridgertons use of costumes to “show and not tell”, it creates a kind of secret language that makes it very interesting to look at.

[@KristinieC]

DO WE GET WET SHIRT COLIN??? *AGGRESSIVELY FANS MYSELF*

[@Megan-b2x]

Should I watch the Queen Charlotte show first before I watch bridgeton

[@ssarahkamal9073]

i think penelope is beautiful in yellow and orange dresses. To be honest she is the most beautiful daughter of Featherington. She can wear anything but still be pretty. I dont have any bias towards her. Just, look at her.

[@karenpetersen6867]

I wound have mentioned that purple/ green outfit Eloise was wearing while hanging out with Carissa. Such a clash of colors and against what she stands for!

[@share.theworld]

Girl what! I love everything I might rewatch the show

[@selenamartinez2493]

No wonder it has taken them so long to make the seasons

[@linethgonzalez5878]

People acting like it's important they use an exact dress, it's a TV SHOW people for ENTERTAINMENT, you want accuracy? Watch a documentary, want to be entertained and see a fantasy, just shut up and enjoy.

[@mmichelle4082]

No way, I'd put it in contract that I get to keep one dress.

[@bmw8913]

I never read the books, but I'm OBSESSED with the show. Based on watching the characters play out and their on-screen chemistries, i REALLY REALLY wish Eloise and Cressida were lesbians & in love with each other. Cressida doesn't seem to get on with anyone but Eloise, and Eloise seems sooooo uninterested in men.

[@sueburkey]

It's gorgeous costuming but it ain't Regency. The dresses remind me of late 1960s prom gowns.

[@highfrequencyseeker7]

What do they do with these costume afterwards than

[@caroleappling2007]

🥰 thank you for this….the dresses are magnificent..so beautiful ❤️

[@gryfinryder]

I just love Bridgerton. But let’s be real… it isn’t known for its historical accuracy. The best part of the show in that regard, is the sets and locations, props and decor. They take a lot of liberties with clothing and accessories. And even more liberties with speech and manners. But it is a well done romantic drama SET in a loose time period and with a cast and events loosely based on historical events.

[@nerdygeekgamer5528]

I can't imagen being a clothing maker back in the 1800's well today we call them Fashion Designer's

[@amyblessing8362]

Penelope always fit better into the Bridgerton family than her own. She was the only Featherington with class.

It seems ironic in today's society, new money flaunts, and old money is quiet. Quiet luxury vs. Louis Vuitton, Channel, etc.
