It is an alternate universe but that doesn't mean the costume design is beyond criticism. Karolina makes some very good points here. Specially because the whole vibe of the show is that it looks like a Jane Austen's fanfic, like regency era from a modern pov, so if you're whole aesthetic is going to be a fantasy, romanticized version of a particular historical period, it is to be at least expected that you're familiar with it enough at least

I'm kinda waiting for the time when Karolina finally snaps and makes her own historically accurate movie LOL.

Netflix caters to a teenage audiences in terms of storytelling and romance, costumes and drama (which is not necessarily bad but I do find the dumbing down disingenuous to the teenage audience). Enola Holmes and now Bridgeton it seems a direct reflection of the influencers and tik tokers of today. Elite rich children living their lives unperturbed by the cares and worries of the world outside their class bubble and in Enolas case talking directly to us as KZread influencers do in videos etc. Its actually smart marketing choice as a direct /familiar connection to today, back in the day these were the 'influencers' and kardashians of their times. Because I came to watch this show with this view in mind and I was not expecting masterful storytelling or accurate costumes, I was able to watch it all the way through like a soap opera with many a cringe moments 😬😅 I'm watching it for Nicola Coughlan who is in the amazing shoe Derry Girls!

I believe from the story line and where they are taking her character at least Penelope's exclusively "overboob" bodices are made that way on purpose so that in the next series she will look older and more confident. I think it is most probably a set up to give her a cinderella moment later in the story. The designer clearly knows how to dress a curvier figure, look at her mother's dresses, she always looks amazing even through she does not have a slim, almost flat silhouette. Because we know they are using the colors to make a point why wouldn't they use the dress fit and shape also?

In the books, Penelope's mother has zero understanding of Fashion and dresses her in yellow because it's a happy color, even though it is decidedly NOT a good color for her. She also pushed Penelope into society early in hopes that she'd make a good match quickly. So I think that's what the designer was going for with Mrs Featherington's weird too-slim gowns and Penelope's technicolor overboob dresses. Still doesn't explain Daphne's problem, though.

Now we understand why the time travel seamstress was so stressed out-

I don’t see why sooo many costume designers feel that period costumes need a ‘modern, contemporary twist’. It implies that modern audiences lack the insight to relate to and enjoy historical aesthetics as they were without them being made more ‘cool’ and ‘sexy’. Also if I wanted to see modern clothing I would just watch a modern movie. The reason many people watch historical dramas is to be transported to a different time/place.

Yeah I’m pretty sure you can figure that out within five minutes given the costuming, casting, dialogue... it was fun anyway though

@Charisma Girl She knows that it's a real time period, she just doesn't care. All she wants to do is to create a fantasist show.

@Charisma Girl Yeah, exactly, she's open that it's a fantasist show. She doesn't lie, she's honest.

@Charisma Girl Bridgerton is set in an alternate reality. It's not trying to be real history, it is a fantasy story. And no, it is not cultural appropriation. Anyone can wear dresses from different time periods in history.

I would love to see a review of the fashion in The Knick or in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel!

My first Karolina vid and I’m loving this look. Curls, glasses and lip color. Nice!

My husband feels very cultured now that he can criticize the killer corset trope thanks to your videos and he promptly did so in the loudest most bro way when he saw the trailer on Netflix.

Ohh wow thank you for sharing your knowledge and also including reference images!! Bridgerton fashion really did look weird since the beginning of the series... But you summed it up pretty well: historical fantasy 🙌🏻

OMG! Thank you!!!! Seriously EVERYTHING you said went through my mind while I watched Bridgerton (…and Reign, lol). Thank you for putting it so eloquently!

We need a petition to make Karolina at least an advisor for costume designers in period dramas. Period

God, I'd love to see what meme mom, bernadette banner, Cathy hays, and Micarah Tewers could create for a historical drama. (Micarah is there to help keep it in budget)

I loved the fact they made an actual 4C coily textured hair huge powdered wig for the queen! The fact that they put thought into what kind of wigs would have been made in this alternate history for a Black queen and included a wig reflective of natural coily hair!

The wigs didn't bother me, as they wanted to have more variety of hairstyles to reflect the earlier acceptance of other races in society.

Omg please do a whole video on Reign costumes!! I used to love it and seeing that picture just opened my eyes
