What does that mean?

A character telling you that they're in distress or telling you that they're anxious or telling you that they're worried.

On shits...

Costume was everything because it allowed us to constantly remind an audience that this family came from money without having to write too much of the snobbiness or elitism

it was, we were just able to show it.

And any time in storytelling, film and television, that you can show something and not tell it, you are winning.

And so it became very clear from an early, the early days of putting the show together, that the clothes were going to be almost just as valuable as the words coming out of these people's mouths.

And I really value authenticity of world building.

So I wanted the clothes to be real.

I didn't want to string some pearls around Moira's neck and say, well, this woman is wealthy.

I wanted her to...

dress like she, you know, had the money.

And in order to do that, you need to make sure that the clothes are real.

Yeah.

I wanted pieces that somebody at home who paid attention to fashion could see and think, ah, wow, okay.

That's the kind of woman this person is.

And we had no money.

So the big challenge with shits was how do we find the clothes?

And it forced me to shop all year round on sale, on consignment, on vintage, anything I could find, vestiaire, reel-reel,

because we couldn't afford to buy them off the rack, nor did I want to because this family had lost their money.
