I know the reason they didn’t make it as accurate was because it would take Simon 5 hours to take off Daphne’s clothes.
-
I thought it was absolutely ridiculous to show them “tight” lacing corsets only to throw on an empire waist gown that COVERED EVERYTHING UP! Whyyyyyy? 😭. It felt so stupid.
-
If you think of the show as fantasy, rather than historical fiction, the costumes are rather fun, but they have about as much historical accuracy as a Party City Halloween costume.
-
Can I just say that I love when she points out a part thats more fantastical than historically accurate (like the trimmings) she does so in an incredibly positive way. It's less: "This isn't right!" And more "What an amusing take on this, that would otherwise be this." We need more neutral humans in the world. Ugh you go girl! 👏
-
That's the most gentle way you could possibly describe the costuming catastrophe that is Penelope's dresses.
-
Raissa is an extraordinary fashion historian. Her fluency in fashion history is astounding! Well done, Raissa!
-
As ususal, side characters are much more historically accurate than the principal characters, that have to appeal to modern audiences.
-
Corsets: Dishonor on you! Dishonor on your family! Stays: Sighs in relief.
-
I love so much that the guys would wear padding for their musculature. If your thighs are a lie, don't come at me when I stuff my bra.😂
-
I appreciate how you point out the inaccuracies so well, and explain why they could have been chosen by the costumer. Also your refined but occasionally cheeky tone is lovely.
-
Gotta rewatch Emma before this to relax my eyes
-
I wish they had gone all-out with accurate English Regency court clothes. Those dresses were something else. And please, let them wear shifts.
-
I'm a costume historian too and I had to get over how wrong the Bridgerton costumes were. Once I let that go and said, "Well, it is a romantic fantasy," then I could enjoy the costumes as stand-alones and enjoy the show more. Great video BTW
-
Honestly while I don’t mind the historical inaccuracies because I see the tv series as more of a fantasy than an exact historical romance like the book. The only thing that really tickled me was the use of corsets. I’m so tired of seeing historical dramas demonize corsets especially when it’s so overdone and unnecessary.
-
I can't wait to see Penelope's glow up in her season. The costume designer chose colours that deliberately clashed with her skin tone to allow her to emerge as a true beautiful butterfly when it's her love story with Colin. Yes, it's very Cinder to Cinderella but I can't wait.
-
I watch so many of these videos that when I watched Bridgerton I kept telling my husband that they would never wear a corset without something under it. I’m not sure he cared.
-
THANK YOU for mentioning Penelope’s too high bustline. I will never understand why they went with this approach?? It bothered me the whole series.
-
I could watch Emma for hours! Emma's outfits were straight out of a Regency Fashion plate, and gorgeous!
-
Honestly, the historically accurate costumes look better than the fictionalized ones
-
Once again, Raissa’s brooch game is on point!
