Everything that you’ll find in the show in season three, from buttons, types of laces, types of hooks, color, shape, and textures, have all been thoroughly thought through and actually do have a symbolic meaning. I have a few new projects in the works and I’ll be happy to share them with everyone soon. Thank you so much. Spencer: Ugh, yes Serena is such a great example. The Handmaid’s Tale is a masterclass example when it comes to the use of color. There is so much symbolism and the costume design plays a vital role there… Can you tell me about the use of color in this show and why it’s important to you? The Handmaid’s Tale is a popular TV series based on a novel by Margaret Atwood. It is set in a dystopian future where a totalitarian regime has taken over the United States and forced fertile women to become handmaids, or concubines, for powerful men. Atwood, who was an executive producer of the adaptation, was not phased. In fact, she didn’t get involved in the costumes at all. As a tribute to her hero, Crabtree sent her a visual storyboard for each scene, something she does with all her projects. Because there's method to finding inspiration in all those mops and insects.

The fundamentals of the Gilead color coding has remained the same for the TV series, but there are some notable differences too. In the books, the wives are assigned blue clothing at all times, but in the series it's more of a teal or a bluish-green color. We offer a variety of products to help you create your own Handmaid’s Tale Costume. We have clothing and accessories for both handmaids and commanders, such as the long red dress, the white bonnet, the tote bag, the commander’s suit, and more. You can also mix and match our products to create your own unique look.

Within the handmaids’ uniform, Miller tasked Crabtree with creating individuality. “Uniformed prisoners often use their hair to show personality, but the handmaids’ hair is covered by the white “wings” that shield their faces. Moss worked with Crabtree to develop a storyline, which is not showed in the series, to aid individual costume development. Spencer: I hear you there! I am glad you and your family are doing okay. Well, better than okay as just yesterday we learned of some incredible news, you were nominated for your third Emmy in theOutstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes category! Congratulations! What does this nomination mean to you?! Natalie: Actually, in the first two seasons, I served as supervisor AND assistant designer. We didn’t have a formal assistant designer because the show was small enough — in terms of number of costumes — that I could handle it and do both jobs.

Outside of the color spectrum, Crabtree applied her design expertise to small subtleties that may go unnoticed by most viewers. “I gave the Handmaids lace-up boots that were modeled after a pair I have, but then I took away their laces so that they can’t even consider killing themselves,” she says; that move is also a reference to Atwood’s original novel, in which many Handmaids attempted self-harm to escape their warped reality. “We sewed the grommets down, and then on top of that we did a boot cover, so they can’t even be reminded that they used to have laces. It’s just a sleek cover. That was a way of oppressing them mentally.” Making your own Handmaid's Tale Costume can be a fun and creative DIY project. You need a red dress, a white bonnet, and a tote bag. Cut off the collar and sleeves of the dress, find or make a white bonnet with ribbons, find or make a white tote bag, and wear brown boots or shoes. Sunday nights have taken a rather chilling turn since Bruce Miller’s adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale has filled the primetime TV slot. Helping realise Margaret Atwood’s dystopian future is costume designer Ane Crabtree, whose CV includes Westworld and The Sopranos. Vogue caught up with Crabtree to find out how she imagined the handmaids’ conservative dress, the role colour played in characterisation and why a pair of old boots became the surprising hit on set in Toronto.

Spencer: Wow, so I think it’s safe to say that when it comes to The Handmaid’s Tale, you have done it all! I’m interested to know what your initial reaction was when you received The Handmaid’s Tale script? Spencer: Natalie it has been such a pleasure speaking with you. I truly appreciate you and your work. Such exemplary dedication to detail and I really feel like I learned so much just from speaking with you during this short time. I am so excited to see what you do next! Spencer: It’s such an incredible achievement, we are so happy for you! My first question I always love to ask my guests is how you came into your life as a costume designer, and how did you end up taking on a role on The Handmaid’s Tale?
