With grandeur and a plot that remains unmatched, Bridgerton is undeniably one of the best shows on Netflix. The Regency period drama boasts visuals competing with the likes of Downton Abbey but in a much more fun and engaging manner. Where else would you hear 19th-century renditions of songs from Maroon 5, Taylor Swift, and Ariana Grande? Making the splendid sets of Bridgerton even more majestic are the costumes we see throughout the series.
<h2>Are the Bridgerton costumes historically accurate?</h2>
<a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-bridgerton-season-2-vs-the-viscount-who-loved-me-all-the-major-differences-between-the-book-and-the-show/bridgerton-sisters/" rel="attachment wp-att-22747"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22747 lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-sisters.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="764" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-sisters.jpg 1280w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-sisters-300x179.jpg 300w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-sisters-1024x611.jpg 1024w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-sisters-768x458.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></a>
Short answer: no, they aren&#8217;t. 
But, does this matter? Again, no, it doesn&#8217;t.
In terms of historical accuracy, the costumes we see in Bridgerton are not quite right. They have a touch of modernity that takes away from the essence of the Regency period. The low necklines that have become a signature of the show would have been quite controversial during the 1800s. The aim of the costume designers was to give fans a great viewership experience but also provide content they could relate to and enjoy.

<h2>Who is the designer behind the making of these iconic Bridgerton costumes?</h2>
<a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=23016" rel="attachment wp-att-23016"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23016 lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ellen-mirojnick-bridgerton.webp" alt="" width="1400" height="933" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ellen-mirojnick-bridgerton.webp 1400w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ellen-mirojnick-bridgerton-300x200.webp 300w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ellen-mirojnick-bridgerton-1024x682.webp 1024w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ellen-mirojnick-bridgerton-768x512.webp 768w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ellen-mirojnick-bridgerton-1200x800.webp 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px" /></a>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb0CR4xcKZQ&amp;feature=youtu.be">Ellen Mirojnick</a> is the name of the genius behind these iconic costumes. None of the costumes we see in Bridgerton are picked from shops or designers. Each one of them is carefully handmade with the <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/">Netflix Original</a> in mind. Along with a brilliant team of 200, Mirojnick has designed and made 7500 original pieces of clothing for the show alone.
Actress Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington, mentions the great deal of care the actors take to ensure that the costumes remain unharmed. They put on coats that make it extra inconvenient for them, but this protected the details of the dresses. Each flower or piece of jewelry we see the cast of the <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/">Netflix</a> series wear is made from scratch entirely by hand. The Bridgerton costumes alone took up 5 months of planning, preparation, and hard work.

<h2>The hidden meaning behind Bridgerton costume colors</h2>
<a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-uk-news-more-british-stories-to-decorate-netflixs-library-as-the-platform-expands-its-footprint-in-the-uk/bridgerton/" rel="attachment wp-att-7943"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7943 lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Bridgerton.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Bridgerton.jpg 1200w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Bridgerton-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Bridgerton-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Bridgerton-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></a>
Not only is the costume design unbelievably alluring, but they also help set the tone of the show. In the beginning, we see the lovely Bridgerton household dressed in beautiful pastels. The colors show viewers the domestic bliss the Bridgertons lived in. They exude class and elegance without being too overpowering.
As the series progresses, we watch Daphne shift to darker, more somber pieces of clothing. Her character goes from that of a naïve young child to a woman who learns some dark truths about life. When her marriage again reverts back to being a happy one, she finds her way back to the pastels she so seemed to love.
<a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-questions-we-have-after-bridgerton-season-2-trailer/penelope-bridgerton/" rel="attachment wp-att-22753"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22753 lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/penelope-bridgerton.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="898" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/penelope-bridgerton.jpg 1600w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/penelope-bridgerton-300x168.jpg 300w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/penelope-bridgerton-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/penelope-bridgerton-768x431.jpg 768w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/penelope-bridgerton-1536x862.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></a>
Another example of the sheer genius behind the Bridgerton costumes is that of the Featherington family. Mrs. Featherington, as viewers know all too well, is not the ideal parent. Her regard for a rich match matters more to her than her daughter&#8217;s happiness. We see this being made apparent in the scene where Prudence’s corset is tightened until she faints. The colors the Featheringtons wear are also grotesque and awfully bright, showing their “new money” lifestyle that they soon lose.

<h2>The most iconic Bridgerton costumes</h2>
<h3>Eloise’s frills</h3>
<a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=23017" rel="attachment wp-att-23017"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23017 lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-eloise-frills.jpg" alt="" width="963" height="481" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-eloise-frills.jpg 963w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-eloise-frills-300x150.jpg 300w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-eloise-frills-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px" /></a>
If Eloise and her frills felt comical to you at the beginning of the show, you aren’t alone. The ribbons and childish additions signify just how badly she wishes to stay a child.
<h3>Daphne’s debut ball</h3>
<a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=23021" rel="attachment wp-att-23021"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23021 lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-daphne-debut-1.jpg" alt="" width="1284" height="856" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-daphne-debut-1.jpg 1284w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-daphne-debut-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-daphne-debut-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-daphne-debut-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-daphne-debut-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1284px) 100vw, 1284px" /></a>
This is the first time we see the protagonist of the season. And her outfit at the time was the perfect one. It was the most Daphne piece of clothing she could’ve worn.
<h3>The Queen being, well, a queen</h3>
<a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=23019" rel="attachment wp-att-23019"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23019 lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-queen.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="655" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-queen.jpg 980w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-queen-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-queen-768x513.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px" /></a>
The award for perhaps the most extra outfit and looks goes to the Queen. Not only does this Bridgerton character go all out with her costumes ‌each and every time, she always does so magnificently.
<h3>Eloise gradually growing up</h3>
<a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=23022" rel="attachment wp-att-23022"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23022 lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-eloise-growing-up-1.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="744" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-eloise-growing-up-1.jpg 1600w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-eloise-growing-up-1-300x140.jpg 300w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-eloise-growing-up-1-1024x476.jpg 1024w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-eloise-growing-up-1-768x357.jpg 768w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-eloise-growing-up-1-1536x714.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></a>
Eloise might have allowed herself another year before her social debut, but Lady Bridgerton wanted her daughter dressed up and ready to catch people’s eyes. However, a tiny detail that makes this look endearing is the ribbon she manages to slip in her otherwise rather elegant look.
<h3>Daphne’s dark turn</h3>
<a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=23023" rel="attachment wp-att-23023"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23023 lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-daphne-blue.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="749" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-daphne-blue.jpg 1080w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-daphne-blue-300x208.jpg 300w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-daphne-blue-1024x710.jpg 1024w, https://www.staging.netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-daphne-blue-768x533.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></a>
This look was perhaps the most iconic one of the series. We watch Daphne turn from an innocent young child who loves her signature powder blue dresses to this one dramatic one. The unadorned dark blue dress she wears in this scene perfectly suits the conversation she has with Anthony here.

<h2>What does the Bridgerton cast think of their costumes?</h2>
Bringing to viewers the best experience isn’t an easy task. Considering the scale of costumes in <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/bridgerton/">Bridgerton </a>, this task was harder still. The infamous corsets are just as painful as they look, if not more. As a result, the cast had difficulty shooting in it.
<a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-miu-mius-spring-collection-is-as-fresh-as-it-gets-with-these-bridgerton-riverdale-and-sex-education-stars-in-the-front-seat/bridgerton-fashion/" rel="attachment wp-att-22406"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-22406 size-full lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-src="https://netflixjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/bridgerton-fashion-e1647280787475.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" /></a>
Nicola Coughlan spoke in an interview about how she had to sit in a chair for 2 hours every single day to get dressed. She would get up at 4 am and would then be ready by 8 a.m. when the shooting began.
While no one has fainted due to the corsets on the set like Prudence did in the show, they aren’t comfortable either. While Mirojnick has tried her best to make it as least painful as possible, they still were quite a pain. In the beginning, we see Phoebe Dynevor had scabs on her back that Daphne just proceeded to ignore and go about her day.
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="‘Bridgerton’ stars dish about Shonda Rhimes’ new hit series l GMA" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/txGvmNYsbd4?start=113&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
Coughlan, who is 5’1 and comparatively extremely petite, had to spend her first day on the sets in extremely high heels. This resulted in a rather dangerous injury involving Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton) as the actress slipped.
