I love when historical research and inspiration for period pieces isn’t directly from a historical example of what you’re trying to create. The designer in this article mentions that he was inspired by Wedgwood ceramics, and included that aesthetic into the Bridgerton’s dresses. He could’ve just looked at regency era dresses themselves, but instead decided to take something else thats iconic from the regency era and transfer that into the costuming. I had definitely been aware of the Bridgerton blue in the costumes throughout watching the show, but I hadn’t noticed it as much in the set design, so it was very interesting to see that the costume designer doesn’t think that the convention of Bridgerton blue is very true while the set designer does. Its also very interesting how despite the fact that the costume designer didn’t intend for the blue to become a big thing, the audience has really latched onto it.
I really enjoy Bridgerton, the TV show. I think it plays around with a lot of themes in friendship that we see betweenThe girls, and also a strong sense of family, which I really enjoy, and I've absolutely loved learning about costume design and seeing it so clearly in the show. Throughout the show we see the difference in families very much by the colors and the textures they wearAs the Bridgerton's are always dressed in a shade of blue that to me reminds me of a pretty flower or like a spring which is very much the vibe of the showWell the feather teens who are moreAggressive in their ways to survive in the ton That is shown through their costumes being bright andIn a way aggressive colors. I think this is most shows the transition in Penelope Featherton's character, how she starts off in these aggressively bright colors, and as she finds herself sheFalls more into this beautiful green that then, once she finds her loveIn the Bridgerton family, it merges into that light blue that we know as the “Bridgerton blue”.
