“Brianna had quite a few new looks this season… she’s working domestically and looking after the children but also doing engineering works around the Ridge… so she has some practical clothing but she is also young and, in her past life, liked clothes. I think she has become somebody who has her things made or she makes some things herself.” -Costume Designer Trisha Biggar
“Trisha Biggar does an incredible job and I, for one, am incredibly grateful to her, especially this season. The costumes we have for Claire at the Ridge when she’s more relaxed… it’s a slightly modern twist on what women were wearing at the time, which I always feel is so important… that Claire would always find a way of retaining some of that comfort, some of that ease, some of the practicality from the future while also being able to kind of blend in.
As Jamie became more established on the Ridge, his Season 6 look reflected that. “The Frasers are leaving the Ridge slightly more often than they did in Season 5 so we developed slightly different looks for them. They’re not always at the Ridge working and doing domestic things. They are meeting society and having to do business with people nearby.” -Trisha Biggar, Costume Designer
See the priest hole in the main foyer of the house was amazing. It seems totally something Jamie would think of considering he grew up in a house with a priest hole. I hope we see it used in the future.
So Arch Bug is criticizing Roger’s skill and yet clearly he has some as he’s added onto their cabin. On his own? Likely no but I challenge most anyone out there to have that skill. Arch…. don’t disrespect Roger Mac.
I wish we’d seen more about Jamie’s reaction to Claire’s hair. Cait says shallow but I’ve always loved that Jamie loves her hair especially because in the books it is clear Claire doesn’t love her own hair.
Caitriona wore three different wigs over the course of filming this episode, which conveyed the passage of time before and after her hair was chopped off by Mrs. Bug and Malva.
I’m a little disappointed we haven’t gotten to see Mrs. Bug more especially since, I believe, she’s going to come up (or is supposed to) later.
I love when we learned how they reuse props even if they are from a different time and place in the Outlander world. I’d love to see how Jamie and Claire repurpose things because you know back then it was a must.
500 matches were made by the Prop department for Brianna to light. And with these homemade matches they almost set the set on fire!
The cast and crew didn’t want to wait even longer to begin shooting season six so they worked through the winter in the cold.
