Love that whole post! That's fascinating. The costuming on iwtv is so brilliant. And this:

sam reid has the perfect figure for 1930s/40s fashion: a narrow waist and wide shoulders. pleated suit trousers have extra fabric around the hips/ass and are cinched in at the natural waist, which a) is comfortable and b) makes the waist look narrower, creating an almost hourglass shape depending on the cut. to modern eyes it can look more feminine than contemporary men's suits, which plays into lestat's Whole Deal.

Dressing all of those beautiful people must be so fun, but Sam is truly Carol's personal barbie.

It's such a good one! I loooove hearing people talk about costuming like that, especially because whenever I talk to my sister about it who's literally a costume standby/supervisor, all she wants to talk about is the mistakes she can see, haha (not for IWTV, she hasn't seen that yet, but we binged s3 of Bridgerton last time she was staying with me, and she was savage, lmao).

But yes! Carol must have so much fun!

#it's like #layers of fun for the costume department too because carol's the designer right and even by her own statement on insta isn't getting enough #time to fit them because of how busy they are #it's the standbys who are usually dressing the actors on set which is its own chaos haha #my sister actually worked on the new season of the newsreader as a standby but she didn't dress sam </3 #she was on supporting cast #one of my sister's bff costume standbys did the new season of rings of power though which is awesome and i still need to watch #anyway haha #set dressing #iwtv asks #sam asks #lestat asks
