Are you watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon? It’s the story of a young, upper crust, Jewish woman who gets dumped in 1950s New York and embarks on a career in standup comedy. It sounds like kind of a quirky premise, but that will make more sense when you realize it’s created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, the creator of Gilmore Girls and Bunheads (RIP to both!).
I’ve only made it through the first two episodes and already I am DYING over Midge’s wardrobe. The good news is there’s been a ton of press about the costumes, which were designed by Donna Zakowska (TURN: Washington’s Spies, John Adams, Original Sin) and are catching everyone’s eyes:

While I’m sure there are lots of fab outfits I’ve missed, let’s battle it out for which of Midge’s costumes you’d most like to run off with! Me, I’m gunning for the green dress with the ivory swing coat (LUST), or the Red Dress from dinner with Joel and all the parents.
POLL CLOSED
What are you thinking of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel?
Oops! I voted by accident there- I actually clicked on a pc hoping it would become a bit larger. Ah well lol
There’s a ‘change vote’ link at the bottom of the poll :)
She wears green SO WELL. There are some stunning emerald dresses, coats and tops in this series. I love it. And I adore her casual tops and pedal pushers when she goes out to The Village.
Love them all, it’s so hard to choose but I am a sucker for plaid. So plaid it is.
I wish we could vote on top 3 favourites bc mine are black & pearls, red dress & green suit. I haven’t added Amazon to my tablet, but I’ve been thinking about it. This and if the have Ekaterina Velichkaya with English subtitles might convince me.
This show kinda reminds me of the late Joan Rivers.
I think it was inspired by Joan Rivers in how she came through the clubs, but I could be wrong.
Can I vote off-piste? There’s a green dress she wears when she’s moving house, and a deep pink/red dress worn when having dinner out with her parents and brother – both fabulous.
And her court dress/coat combo! :)
Oh my god yes, that was incredible!
Yes. Jacques Fath, where the coat lining matches the dress. That is obviously my write-in vote.
I vote that as well. The lining that matches the dress!
YAAAAS. The dress and coat she wore to court!!!!
Harking back to my pink phase, I went for the pink and rose.
Lots of good choices going on here… :-)
That black dress was amazing, and I was conflicted between the “You idiot, you left this” red dress and that crisp, wasp-waisted green suit. I thought about it and went with tha black suit. I love the bow-details on the shoulders.
I love this show. FWIW, Rose (her mother) also has a lovely, elegant wardrobe – do a poll with Rose!!!
There’s SO many gorgeous costumes in this show! 😍
Back here to report that s2 looks just as fabulous. Plsu they shot a bunch of stuff in Paris, which is its own brand of gorgeous.
Rose’s grey and wine suit (with a hood!) and matching gloves as they left Paris – to DIE FOR. I would live the rest of my life in that suit, if I could look half as chic as she does.
