#meanwhile the costume designer on bridgerton was hired because she mostly worked on films with a contemporary setting

Costumers pls let actresses wear shifts under corsets, it's not supposed to go on bare skin.

Or even better, showrunners, producers, writers, directors who tell costumers to do this, please stop.

#the nevers #dickinson #and many more #i'm sure most people well versed in historical clothing and costuming are well aware of this #which would be most people who work on historical shows and films #but it's sexy or whatever so in most things people wear corsets on bare skin and i want to scream #and they're not properly fitted either too many times #or idk what is the reason but it bothers me #and let's not even get into things like thightlacing portrayed as the norm when it never was #especially in eras when there was no tightlacing period #like in the 18th century #looking at you pirates of the Caribbean #or in regency england when what your waist looks like doesn't matter because the gowns had straight lines so you CAN'T SEE THE WAISTLINE #looking at you bridgerton #honestly the costuming on that show #people gave so much shit to reign for what the costumes looked like #but they hired someone with no prior experience with historical shows and have her a cw budget and said don't make it look accurate #she tried her best and while they're ahistocial so many of them were gorgeous esp in later seasons #meanwhile the costume designer on bridgerton was hired because she mostly worked on films with a contemporary setting #which is fine #but based on the things she said it seems like she thinks historical fashion is boring and she's here to make it fun #which is also fine but the end result is an eyesore sorry #also when she said the colors are super vibrant on the show bc she looked at regency era illustrations and they were boring & not colourful #they are 200 years old OF COURSE they are faded ma'am #anyway #i went off on the costume designer oops #i don't even like regency fashion that much but you can make it look beautiful #like emma 2020 #the designer used actual existing gowns from the period as inspiration #and they're not colourless or boring
