Costuming is so important, but the industry acts like they can cut corners on it and it shows in many of its latest productions in recent years. I saw a TikTok this morning that explained how part of the reason that costuming in recent streaming films looks so cheap is because they look fresh off the rack. They’re not designed or fitted to look like actual worn-in clothes, but look spotlessly clean, like they were just pulled out of a package.

Yes, this reason, to me, is why Bridgerton season 3 looked so different than first 2 seasons.

I just started watching Brigderton last week, but have heard other people make similar remarks about the costuming and makeup lol!

As the artists who make up film & tv are forced out, the product will be reduced simply to product, alienated from the humanity of craftspeople & relying only on the soulless & metaphysical pull of celebrity.
