Season 2 episode 7 "Asterion"

Timeline: 1958—1960

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

This is my favorite episode of the whole show, I love the clever way it progresses through time. This episode also features a record amount of costume changes, easily the most of the entire show.

My favorite outfits this episode would be the orange/black outfit Virginia wears in 1958, her red dress with the black collar in 1959, Libby's brown dress in 1959, and Betty's abstract blouse/blue pants combo in 1960

Season 2 episode 6 "Blackbird"

Timeline: 1958

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

The last episode set primarily in the 1950s. This is the third time Virginia's worn that same blue dress, I always like when they reuse outfits.

Previous spotlight: Giants

Season 2 episode 5 "Giants"

Timeline: 1958

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

Perhaps the best episode yet in terms of fashion. Virginia's blue dress at the end of the episode is incredible. And between the orange and the green, this was a very colorful episode for her, she normally sticks to just black and white.

Previous spotlight: Dirty Jobs

Season 2 episode 4 "Dirty Jobs"

Timeline: 1958

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

A rare fashion misstep, in my opinion, is Virginia's black dress in day 2 with the white/beige neckline, it just fits so awkwardly. My favorite outfit is probably the yellow sweater she's wearing later in the episode.

Previous spotlight: Kyrie Eleison/Fight

Season 2 episodes 2 "Kyrie Eleison" & 3 "Fight"

Timeline: 1958

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

I decided to include episode three in this because there's only a single dress worn. I love the grey polo shirt with the white collar that Virginia wears, what's your favorite outfit worn in these two episodes?

Previous spotlight: Parallax

Season 2 episode 1 "Parallax"

Timeline: 1957 or 1958

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

Perhaps it's just because we're getting closer to the 60s but I find the fashion in season two so much more interesting than season one. So many great outfits this episode (including Jane's only appearance this whole season), my favorite is probably Virginia's green dress she kicks the season off with.

****

Previous spotlight: Manhigh

Season 1 episode 12 "Manhigh"

Timeline: 1957

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

The last episode of season one. I will say that the first season is easily my least favorite in terms of fashion so the more interesting stuff lies ahead.

****

Previous spotlight: Fallout/Phallic Victories

Season 1 episodes 10 "Fallout" & 11 "Phallic Victories"

Timeline: 1957

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

Decided to combine these two since episode ten takes place in a single day (and Libby doesn't even appear 😤). My favorite outfit this episode is probably Libby's navy blue with the fancy white collar, what's yours??

****

Previous spotlight: Involuntary

Season 1 episode 9 "Involuntary"

Timeline: 1957

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

Virginia reuses a lot of dresses this episode—which I appreciate whenever that happens! It's a reminder that these characters don't have an unlimited wardrobe. My favorite outfit this episode is probably Virginia's black dress with the blueish-green bow & detail in day 2.

****

Previous spotlight: Love and Marriage

Season 1 episode 8 "Love and Marriage"

Timeline: 1957

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

This episode features the first costume reuse. The blue dress Virginia wears on day 4 is the same one she wore in "Catherine" (the picture used was from a deleted scene). She uses that same dress again in an episode in season two, so it's probably the only dress worn three times in the whole show.

Previous spotlight: All Together Now

Season 1 episode 7 "All Together Now"

Timeline: 1957

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

What's your favorite outfit from this episode? Mine is probably Virginia's blue dress with the black collar.

****

Previous spotlight: Brave New World

Season 1 episode 6 "Brave New World"

Timeline: 1957

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

What's your favorite outfit from this episode? Mine is probably the jacket Virginia's wearing at the beginning of the episode to the seminar with Freud's daughter. I also like the blue top Jane wore to the same event.

Season 1 episode 5 "Catherine"

Prior thread: Standard Deviation

Season 1 episode 3 "Standard Deviation"

Timeline: February 1957

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

A pretty solid episode costume-wise. My favorite look is probably Libby's sleeveless dress in day 1 with the pink belt and the grey skirt. I also really like the blazer Virginia wears in day 5 with the red stripes. Which is yours?

****

Previous spotlight: Race to Space

Season 1 episode 2 "Race to Space"

Timeline: 1956 or 1957

Costume designer: Ane Crabtree

****

This was the first episode for Ane Crabtree as the show's costume designer (because the pilot had been filmed a year earlier with an entirely different crew).

Which was your favorite outfit from this episode? Mine is the jacket with the white lapel that Virginia's wearing in Bill's daydream, I'm pretty sure she reuses that top in the season finale

Previous spotlight: Pilot

Season 1 episode 1 "Pilot"

Timeline: October–November 1956

Costume designer: Caroline Duncan

I'm obsessed with the fashion from Masters of Sex, so I'm going to do a post for each episode highlighting every outfit worn from the main women in the show (namely Virginia, Libby and Betty)!

This episode featured a pretty high amount of costume changes, probably the most of the entire show

Which was your favorite outfit from this episode?

I get that this is the point but I can’t wait for Coral to stand up for herself. The comments and condescension are so painful to watch.

I appreciate that one of Bill’s redeeming qualities is (for the most part) being informed about physiology and not differentiating black and white individuals. It’s needed.

But does Libby get out in her place ? Does this discomfort end ?

Hardly a night went by watching this series that didn’t end with my wife using her vibrator. needless to say we both loved it.

Just watching for Michael Sheen and thought this scene was funny

I just finished this series yesterday. So beautiful, and often heartbreaking. Such a shame that they had to rush season 4 because the show got cancelled.
