Wow! A behind-the-scenes clip from Netflix phenomenon Bridgerton has revealed the period drama’s extensive costume warehouse which holds 7500 outfits

Bridgerton bosses hired costume designer Ellen Mirojnick to head up the team behind the ‘bold and beautiful’ ensembles seen on screen.

During the video, Ellen said: ‘This interoperation needed to be an overview of how we can add modern elements. 

‘We’ve made it more luxurious and sumptuous. We’ve introduced a modern colour pallet but also tried to stick to the foundations of the 1813 silhouette.’

Bessie Carter, who plays Prudence Featherington, admitted the final design of the costumes was a far cry from what she had originally imagined. 

She said: ‘I walked in thinking beige bonnets and carriages but Ellen showed me the book of ideas which showed the costume, colours and shapes.

‘Ellen showed me and went “real” which was a picture from the period, high fashion, which was a high fashion picture, and then “Shonda” [Rhimes].

Meanwhile, Nicola Coughlan – who plays Penelope Featherington – said the warehouse is ‘full of costumes’ and discussed the elaborate detail on each garment.

Showrunner Chris Van Dusen said: ‘I think there are 7500 pieces in the wardrobe just made for Bridgerton, everything you see is bespoke. Everything is made for the show and nothing comes from a costrume house. 

While Phoebe added: ‘I’m in a different outfit every scene, we counted and I have 104 dresses, which is just madness.’
