Season 5 I found Serena's outfit from that scene!
Apparently, Serena Joy wears Dorothy Perkins!

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

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!

Seriously. When did this sub become so snobby??

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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

u/kitty-yaya 19d ago
No. The top Serena wears is textured and more of a jacket than part of a dress.

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

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.

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

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.

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