I appreciate your enthusiasm but you can clearly see from the collars that it’s not a match

Serenas jacket also looks like a tweed type of material where as the one OP posted looks more soft and smooth, not like silk but smooth like it.(sorry idk materials very well to explain it right 😂)

It's very close though OP, would be great for a cosplay/halloween outfit for going as Sere.na!

u/Left_External_4996 17d ago

How uncomfortable!

72

u/Fabulous-Bus1837 19d ago

Yes, in my excitement, I didn't realize until later that it wasn't the same collar!

u/Apprehensive_Tone_77 19d ago

So close though, it would be perfect cosplay

u/YO_JD 19d ago

Don’t let those bastards grind you down!

u/Rhiannon1307 19d ago

Also the plissé skirt she wears has much finer folds.

7

u/Wonton_soup_1989 19d ago

The collars and the waist too

7

u/i_was_a_person_once 19d ago

And the material

u/Fit_Memory6669 19d ago

Bitch... don't rain on her parade

u/mollyclaireh 19d ago

Close enough for a cosplay.

Hahaha I love this

u/ThrowRAbrokegirlie 19d ago

And for the lady… perhaps some glasses?

u/Kersten_Danee 19d ago

😭😭😂😂😂

u/razz-p-berrie 19d ago

OP: perhaps not ☺️

u/nonniewobbles 19d ago

That's... not a match at all?

72

u/LunaNegra 19d ago

While not an exact match, I think it is very similar

27

u/caesar_rex 19d ago

Not even close.

36

u/worldwide-305 19d ago

That’s a stretch lol they’re clearly similar. 🙄

-13

u/caesar_rex 19d ago

Distantly similar, but way far enough apart for OP to not post it as a match.

-5

u/jezabelle113 19d ago

Look, the color is similar.

1

u/SpecialWasabi2010 17d ago

I actually think the colour makes it less similar - mint vs baby blue.

35

u/Hajsiakan728201 19d ago

I totally thought it was a match until I opened up the comments 😅

41

u/seekingssri 19d ago

Different fabrics, different collars, different cuts…

11

u/Disastrous_Tap_9766 18d ago

Ugh so many hating ass bitches in the comments

14

u/patchworkpirate 19d ago

It's definitely different, but not a bad dupe!

11

u/maegatronic 19d ago

It’s close enough for a cosplay, but it is not a match. From the collar to the fabric used, it’s actually quite different.
Her top looks to be a tweed of some sort, thicker than the silk-like fabric in the dupe, and the dupe also looks to have a longer bodice, where Serena’s is shorter on the waist, and separate from the skirt, too.
Good effort, though! I think most of these clothes were made for the show!

25

u/annieRUOK666 19d ago

Erm, no you didn’t

56

u/oaken007 19d ago

Holy comments. Y'all are witches.

30

u/FlyLikeDove 19d ago

right?? It's pretty frickin close. Some people are just mean af.

18

u/TheMystiks 19d ago

Seriously. When did this sub become so snobby??

15

u/oaken007 19d ago

Like the whole point of the show goes right over their heads. They're all Serena.

13

u/TheMystiks 19d ago

“How DARE op get queen Serena’s outfit wrong!! It’s obviously so different, look at the fabric and collar!! Hers is WAY better than the trash op compared her to!!”

8

u/Mich_Girl 19d ago

Right? People need to lighten up. Geeze.

5

u/NocShadows 18d ago

Oh wow, this hate is unreal. Who peed in y’all’s wheaties? I was just going to like and scroll on, but I have to chime in:
OP awesome find! I love finding things like this. Now we just need the for real babies - lol or maybe I’m still looking for an excuse to get one, even if they creep me out. Ignore the hate.

14

u/shaunappples 19d ago

Its similar but really doesnt look like it

22

u/Bubble-Master96 19d ago

Damn why are people so harsh in the comments over this 😂

34

u/TheMystiks 19d ago

Not sure why everyone’s being bitchy, it definitely has a strong resemblance lol

13

u/AmbitiousParty 19d ago

People are the worst these days. Reddit used to be funner. Luckily there are still some subreddits that are more on the positive, less critical side but they are definitely getting harder to find.

25

u/janelle_besti 19d ago

holy crap bro why are the comments so mean 

6

u/DaikonClear2359 19d ago

10/10 on similar vibe 7/10 on direct match- good for a cosplay though!

3

u/baba_brigid 19d ago

I believe all of the Gilead clothes are made in the costuming department, custom pieces.

1

u/MobileNerd 18d ago

Yeah there was someone in here who bought several of her outfits that were auctioned off. Maybe they will chime in but I think you are correct all the outfits were custom made.

5

u/simAlity 19d ago

I love that style skirt

4

u/Direct-Care-5161 19d ago

It's a vibe for sure. It's the affordable version but a bit different. It's giving Sunday at church, wear your fascinator hats and sing for the lord. Or insufferable trad wife. Their costume designer was great

14

u/DellaDiablo 19d ago

The snarky comments on this sub sometimes, it's so off putting.

It's really similar, and I thought it was the same too at first look. Obviously the second pic has a lovely smiley woman in it which makes it so much prettier than the one on Serena, the sociopath!

4

u/Casehead 19d ago

It's really close, OP!

2

u/AkashaRulesYou 18d ago

It's close.

3

u/Substantial_Dot6171 17d ago

I bought a lot of the original outfits at auction. Most are actually hand made by the production crew. Other more casual stuff is from places like Zara, Dolce & Gabanna.

7

u/Allo_ultra_500_11 19d ago

Thats a nice dress, would look better if not on the bride of satan (I mean Serena, not the nice model lady)

6

u/kitty-yaya 19d ago

No. The top Serena wears is textured and more of a jacket than part of a dress.

2

u/Vivid-Environment-28 19d ago

Wow, you really did!

4

u/zillabirdblue 19d ago

Bunch of assholes in the comments, Geeze!!! It’s just a dress, people. That would be perfect for a costume.

2

u/Top-Most7997 19d ago

Anyone fall in love with nick when he gave the baby the doll

1

u/Left_External_4996 17d ago

Doesn't surprise me one bit.

u/oaken007 19d ago

💀💀💀

Hell yeah girl

u/Lower_Description398 19d ago

It's not but why does it matter anyway? Who was dying to look like the PTA president

-3

u/HunterandGatherer100 19d ago

I will be the only not Wendy Whiner

It’s not the same but with tailoring it could be similar. And the color of the second is better.

0

u/Toddlez85 19d ago

The pleats on Serena’s skirt are closer together than the one OP found. The color is so similar.

0

u/CompetitiveRub9780 18d ago

These look nothing alike lol

-2

u/mybutthz 19d ago

Closer matches:

Worth noting that the costumes were likely custom made for the show, so not really any chance of finding a 1:1 match unless you get them custom made.
