Reasons Yaz’ Period Costumes Are Fantastic And Ray Holman Deserves All The Applause:
-She looks stunning, duh
-They! Put! Her! Hair! Up!!! None of these silly half-up half down vaguely historical whatevers, her hair is UP. A++!!
-Hats! They remembered to give her little hats!! Flat straw boaters in the two turn-of-the-century costumes and that fantastically ridiculous bonnet for Villa Diodati, love it, no notes, nobody ever remembers hats these days.
-In Flux they even remembered to give her GLOVES!!
-In Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror and Flux, not only are BOTH of these split skirts (only just noticed the Tesla one was today, am extremely delighted) they both do this fantastic thing with the bodices where it points the front of the bodice down and flares out the hips so it looks like she’s wearing a corset even though I don’t think she actually is (I could be wrong!) but this is 1000% in line with the Victorian and Edwardian wizardry of padding out silhouettes, which they did *all the time* because it was the proportions that mattered rather than the size, love it, also, SPLIT SKIRTS
-All the garments make sense as something a modern-day person would choose and feel comfortable in even while blending in with the era. Her hair in Flux definitely feels more modern, but it’s still up! Her spencer jacket in Villa Diodati looks, in that lighting, kind of like a denim jacket! Split skirts!!!!!!
Anyway I love it, Ray Holman and the whole costume department, thank you for my life. This has been the random midnight ramblings of your local costume nerd, thanks and good night.

i made a gifset of yaz in 1900s outfits because a lot of people have been commenting how she looks pretty in period clothing
so let me share one thing that my brain has been making me picture for months now:
a tv adaptation of the priory of the orange tree where mandip gill plays ead, a certified badass/lady in waiting.
imagine that.

Notes
Showrunner Chris Chibnall is the writer for this key episode.
Jamie Magnus Stone was a new director for this run of episodes. He earlier directed episodes 1201 and 1206. The first was well received but the second often left you with “what just happened?” feeling! (EG Particularly where a character meet his death and no character, even close friend, seemed bothered!)
Jamie is a film director and animator who graduated from the National Film and Television School. Jamie created and directed the Bafta-nominated short Orbit Ever After and other recent work includes Tripped and The Last Dragon Slayer.
