I just woke up from a nap in which I dreamt about Bridgerton again, of course, and I swear I had another revelation about the meaning of colors and dresses, but when I woke up, I lost it. ☹️ I felt so sure of it while I was dreaming. It had to do with Pen and/or Eloise. I was so disappointed when I lost it. I can only hope it wasn’t an actual revelation. OR maybe it’ll come back to me. 🤷🤞
Good lord, I’m so entrenched in this.
Anyway, I did have another thought about dresses, specifically having to do with Cressida. I really like what we’ve seen so far because, for one thing, her new looks are so intriguing, but also I think they really speak to where she’s at.
Normally I would never imply that a woman should not take up more space, but on Cressida, considering she’s the popular mean girl, her gigantic embellishments read as inner turmoil. She is not someone who ever needed the encouragement to take up more space. She’s peacocking. She’s desperate. She’s kinda of giving Cruella de Vil. I can 100% see her trying to take credit for being Lady Whistledown, or at least just doing something really reckless.
Also, I read that Vogue interview with John Glaser, the costume designer, and, when asked what look of the season was the most challenging to make, he said this:
And since I’m now on this Cruella train, I’m just imagining Cressida in some big black and white fur ensemble. lol
