Behind-the-scenes magic: A Discovery of Witches season 2 Costume Design

One of the most enchanting elements of the new series are the costumes, which were created by costume designer Sarah Arthur and her team.

“Once I had the script, I started doing research into Elizabethan London, specifically Elizabeth I and the year 1590,” said Arthur.

“It was a very specific time for fashion, very black and white. I researched Nicholas Hilliard as he did a lot of portrait painting at the time. I spoke at length to author Deborah Harkness, who is a historian and quite knowledgeable of the period. There are not a lot of pictorial references other than the portrait paintings, which is specific to the noble people of the time, so it was difficult to get a feel of the everyday people.

“The British costume historian Janet Arnold’s books were a huge help and pictures of original pieces that included corsets. As you can imagine, I gathered a huge amount of reference material, and bit by bit I pieced it together.”

Arthur added: “Everything has been made for the main cast. With Matthew, a jacket he wears is similar to an original jacket but slightly earlier than 1590. I actually sourced everything, even down to the buttons and travelled far and wide to find all components.

“We’ve made all our shirts, everything is hand stitched. We’ve had the hats made, collected lots of feathers from here and there. Not to mention, hand-made shoes, head gear, hand embroidered slippers.

“For Teresa, her costumes have lots of embroidery. We’ve had three pairs of boots made for Diana based on a pair of riding boots of Elizabeth I. As you can imagine, it’s a very long process before you even start filming.”
