George Washington He doesn’t appear in the books, but producers thought it would be fun to introduce his character as a chance meeting for Jamie and Claire in the show. For Claire Fraser, it is like meeting a movie star and she is scripted to be a little goofy in her questions for him.

A fun set for texture this season was the design of the theatre in Wilmington. This allowed production to make something much more opulent in design that many other sets this season. They used an old church in Glasgow and, in 48 hours, gave it a total overhaul in terms of the dressing, building a huge proscenium arch with lots of rich red velvets and … Continue reading Outlander Set Design: The Wilmington Theatre Scene

I ‘luvbs’ me some Jon Gary Steele set designs! ~ Vida The interior of Stephen Bonnet’s ship, the Gloriana, is the same boat that was the hero ship of Season 3, the Artemis.

Brianna Time Travels Her costumes leading up to her time travel were deeply personal for me. Her ‘through the stones’ dress was quite the dilemma. We had previously decided that Claire knew too much of life in the eighteenth century to think that a “Jessica Gutenberg” (Gunne Sax) dress would pass muster, but I knew how much it meant to the fans and made the … Continue reading Bree and Roger’s Time Travel Wardrobes

Dresbach talks Season 1 Easter eggs, sending Brianna through the stones, and why this is her last season with the show. Over six years and four seasons, costume designer Terry Dresbach has turned Outlander, one of the hardest-to-define shows on television (a romance-epic that spans two centuries, multiple continents, and dozens of history book-altering events, for starters) into one of the most beautifully-costumed, as well. … Continue reading 24 ‘Outlander’ Costume Secrets You Definitely Never Noticed

When was the last time anyone really heard what you were saying? There are great reasons to watch Starz’s period romance drama “Outlander,” starting with the sex and sometimes ending with the sex. But for now, I’d like to praise what happens between the show’s main characters when they are clothed. Okay, that’s only a small lie. Even the most serious-minded “Outlander” fan is at … Continue reading ‘Outlander’ is TV’s sexiest show, but it’s also a great lesson in how to listen
I wanted William to look as much ‘The Little Lord’ as possible and therefore used the finest materials to create his costumes. The cream linen ‘playsuit’ which he wears was designed to link to Jamie’s black linen suit, although purposely ‘impractical’ with the color choice. His silk ‘dinner suit’ is reminiscent of Lord John Grey’s suits, with the contrasting turn back collar. I wanted to … Continue reading Outlander Wardrobe: William

I’ve never viewed a television series where the costumes change every season. Though there weren’t that many changes for our main characters, there were additional ones we’d not seen before – slaves, Maroons, children etc., and this season went between centuries. Here are some of our favorites from S3. Every season has Redcoats. This season we saw a more rugged Jamie depicting his life in … Continue reading Costumes (S3)
