The 2016 Emmy Nominations will be announced July 14th, 2016. We're kicking off a new series: For Your Consideration. We'll take a look at some of the fashion and costuming in some of the shows we think will be considered for the 2016 Emmys. Today, we're looking at the costumes from Outlander, and telling you 5 things you didn't know.
1. Embroidered Buttons - It's All In The Details
Did you know that Terry Dresbach is the Costume designer on Outlander? Through our research, we learned that. She, and a team of others created the costumes on the show. It may not be as apparent just watching the show on televeision but if you look at some of the photos, you can see beautiful embroidery. Details, down to the embroidered buttons were made by her and the team, according to this Harpars Bazaar article.
2. Dior Inspired - Down To The Wire
Some of the costumes were inspired by Dior. The character Claire Randall, played by actress Caitriona Balfe, wore a black and white dress that was inspired by Christian Dior.
3. Redcoats - The British Are Coming, The British Are Coming
As Ellie Goulding sings..."And we gonna let it burn burn burn burn." Did you know the costumes for the Redcoats (British sholdiers), were actually burned with a blow torch to give the look of being in a real battle.
4. Claire's Floral Dress - Where Did They Get It?
Want to know where they got the brown floral fabric for Claire's dress? It was purchased from Britex Fabrics.
Does this look familiar? You may have seen this on their Instagram account . It's the same type of fabric that Claire's floral dress is made from.
