Everything about this series is gorgeous: the costumes, the set, the lovely actors/actresses themselves. This is one of the few shows/movies that manages to make me feel TRULY immersed in the Regency era when I watch it (i.e. it doesn't feel like modern day men/women playing parts on a set). I am so grateful that we got a second season/will be getting a third.

Absolutely loving this season. I confess that I was reticent at first, but oh how I've changed my mind! Everything so beautiful, so vibrant, so fast paced! And the costumes! Oh, really love how the show was upgrade in that aspect!

[@margo3367]

I feel the same! The characters are really starting to evolve.

[@nancyverrocchi8393]

Totally. I love the costumes. I hope that they have a Season 4.

Rose, Crystal, Rosie, Eloise, Charlotte... These girls are not only gorgeous, but also very articulate and clever, talented. I love them !And gosh, every time Ben removes/puts his jacket back on... He's just wow. So attractive !

Can't wait to see how they mature the costumes for season three. I absolutely love the costumes of this show!

Imm loving this season so far this last ep was everything 😭💕 i really wasnt sure in continue watching after Sydney's departure but thank god i did!!!🙏

[@pollytiks3885]

Absolutely gorgeous costumes this season!! Amazing to hear the accents of the actors interviewed compared with the accents of their characters. On a side note, I’m so happy to see Esther’s character development - last season I never would have imagined hoping for her character to have a fulfilling resolution to her story, but here we are!

Look, I am not expecting actors to be experts in historical undergarments, but could we please stop with the whole "corsets were torture devices" trope. Yes, there have always been less comfortable/practical high fashion or formal versions of the garment, but throughout the 18th and 19th century, stays/corsets were worn by almost everyone who presented as female. These garments were the historical equivalent of a bra.
Also, just as a side note, the late Regency stays of the show would probably have been less comfortable than the 1780s and 1790s stays that preceded them (unless you were wearing short stays). In order to get the high and separated bustline of the later Regency, women inserted long wooden busks down the center front of their stays and those have a habit of digging into the body. Tight lacing on the other hand was something that was pretty uncommon until the mid to late 19th century, as the construction style of earlier support garments was not really designed to significantly reduce the waist and most of the materials used would not have been able to stand up to that much tension.

[@Campanula.rapunculus]

Absolutely! 💯
The tight lacing scene made me laugh and eye roll a little bit. It makes me recall Bernadette Banner talking about corset history and the misrepresentation in film/pop culture.

[@carokat1111]

Your comment is rather disingenuous. While the coarser boned corsets had started to be dispensed with for softer alternatives, women in this period were still wearing corsetry which I am sure was uncomfortable. The under garments worn by the actors and shown in series 3 more clearly, look quite authentic. Nothing wrong with the ‘lacing’ scene - totally fit the character and storyline.

[@Catsarefab]

S1&2 have both been set in the summer. Hoping S3 will be set in a different season therefore seeing different designs and colours

[@raven_in_disguise1649]

I def agree!

[@nmtg]

I thought I saw at least one photo that looked like a future scene with winter holiday style decorations

[@ccburro1]
