I have wanted to do a deep-dive review of Daniel Deronda (2002) because it’s an interesting story that’s well acted and has AMAZE-BALLS early 1870s costumes. But there are so many of those amaze-balls costumes that I’ve been daunted! I finally decided to get off my butt and do this, but the only way I’m going to be able to do it is to split things up into each of the four episodes, because there are Just That Many Costumes and they are almost all That Fabulous (here’s episode 1, episode 2, and episode 4).
Yay, we are back to the shiny!
























Stay tuned next week for the final episode!

Argh on the red gown, too.
Thanks again for the deep dive of an amazing costumed series.
I love your version of the stripes! (You’re right- you can never have too many stripes!)
Yay money
shotstripes!That minor actress was also in Anna & the King, I believe. No idea of her name.
Is the rando with amazing hair the lady in the crinoline on the left of the polonaise line-up? That looks like a big lace bertha, and a similar green under it.
I can just about get the idea that this lady is old enough to have stopped updating her look. That may not have been a thing in the late 19th century as it had been in previous generations, but even if so, I think it’s forgivable.
And yes, the corset-next-the-skin trope – yech! But the fact that these actresses must really suffer in those scenes apparently doesn’t cause anyone to wonder ‘if wearing a corset next the skin is that painful, perhaps they just didn’t do it?’ Instead, the actresses just give interviews telling everyone how uncomfortable period costumes were, but that they were willing to suffer for the sake of giving the public true authenticity!
Your gown is lovely!
I love this miniseries so much, mostly for the costumes!
