The cast and crew of The Crown, including Costume Designer Amy Roberts, on the sartorial making of Season 3. As Queen Elizabeth II (Olivia Colman) faces a rapidly changing Britain, her family continues to struggle against the needs of the monarchy and the wants of their fracturing personal lives. Season 3 is now streaming. Ab

Here is a detailed breakdown of the video "The Costumes Of The Crown" from Still Watching Netflix:

Transition to the 1960s and Color: The video highlights how the series transitions into the 1960s, moving away from the more subdued tones of the first two seasons and embracing vibrant colors [00:07].

he Scale of Wardrobe Production: Wardrobe designer Amy and her massive team handmake nearly every outfit [00:13]. By the end of the production cycle, they create around 70 to 80 costumes for the Queen and over 40 distinct outfits—including blouses, skirts, coats, and jackets—for Princess Margaret [00:

25], [00:31].

Fast-Paced Turnarounds: The team often faces tight deadlines, having a week or less to take a costume from initial concept to completion, managing up to ten fittings simultaneously [00:40].

Scene-by-Scene Planning: Every scene is meticulously analyzed to determine the appropriate attire

for the Queen, whether she is attending a state ball or holding an audience with her prime minister [00:51].

Distinct Character Color Palettes: The design team maintains separate fabric collections specifically designated for the Queen and Princess Margaret:

The Queen: Reflets her more settled state o

f mind, featuring a palette of "sugared almond" colors [00:27].

Princess Margaret: Utilizes darker, "bruised" tones that mirror her complex personality and inner turmoil [01:32].

Individualism vs. Uniformity: While Princess Margaret's wardrobe functions as a uniform, she continually seeks ways to expr

ess her individualism within the rigid constructs of royal life [01:39].

Attention to Detail: Cast members praise the extraordinary level of detail, noting standout pieces like a clever Prince of Wales check suit designed for Prince Charles [02:01].

Collaborative Environment: Despite the massive scale

of production, the cast emphasizes that the crew maintains a close, family-like atmosphere where hundreds of artisans work together to bring the royal family's story to life [02:18], [02:25].

@AgathaVienny

They need to publish a book about this clothes they're making for this series

@JoanneLG1960

The Queen actually did wear some of those horrendous hats the worst being at Charles's Prince of Wales ceremony

@connie6545

I just love every episode of "The Crown". The attention to detail is remarkable, and very well done. That hat that the Queen wore with the pink ensemble unfortunately reminded me of the pink spongy hair rollers! ;o)

@matteopullicino

I see they're using the old soundtrack for this clip. I must say, whilst Phipps's work is good, I miss the dramatic soundtracks of seasons 1 & 2

@SeddieWeddie

Has anyone noticed that the “war of the pearls” between the women of the crown seasons 1-2 are all but gone in season 3?

@GloriousClio

I know you'll never see this, but.... do you also make the foundational garments to achieve the correct silhouettes?

@rahulvinalnarayan9743

Really one of the greatest tv shows ever created

@lorenaarias1952

Extraordinary!

@ItsMe-ve7dk

Please hire back Michele Clapton. Season 1 costumes are the best..

@nomdeplume2213

2:07 what was the stroke of genius? Someone help haha I dont understand what hes saying is so unique or what makes the jacket special. "Prince Royal check" is that the pattern?

@matthewdavidson372

So it’s the Crown vs reality vs Apple TV’s series of the new look, I have to say that it’s the prettiest unique

@starlinguk

She didn't mention whether any of the costumes were based on clothes HRH actually wore.

@iwilitu6591

The budget seemed lower for S3

@nancywhitehead6397

I know they had to copy some of the Original designs for both the Queen and Margaret but on many others i think they failed miserably and spent all that money doing it.,,,, Poor Margaret she actually dressed beautifully. I rememeber her well She was quite beautiful and dressed beautifully but the Queen always looked dowdy In real life the Queen has really looked far better since this new woman took over her wardrobe, Now she always looks well dressed and the fabrics are stunning Too bad she did not have the current dresser years ago,,

@HisameArtwork

"This ain't like any TV show or movie".... Go ask Charles Dance if he's as impressed. Don't get me wrong, I love corgis but they are no dragons...and those corgis don't have enough screen time! Drogon showed up way more times. :'(
