the meaning behind penelope's yellow dresses  

Yes! I bet that’s what will happen too! Since it occurs in the books. More specifically, she starts wearing green a lot. Which I think will look lovely on her.

Blue is the colour the bridgerton family wears the most 💙

@@thecalmingwitch I really really hope they use the green dress

tbh the whole “she gets skinny so Colin likes her” trope doesn’t rlly sit well with me so I hope she stays exactly the same because we all love her just as she is and Colin should too

@@hipeople1265 yes I agree! It’ll be controversial of course, 🙄 because of boomers and the sex scenes(on a sidenote now that I think of it, the 70s were just as gutsy if not more so!) Anyways she deserves to be loved just as she is and I think that’s exactly what they’re going to do. Except change her wardrobe and maybe hair styles.

Wait it is??? Huh... All of a sudden the yellow tulips my dad bought for my mom's wedding bouquet means something else...

@@EsiNotEssie I mean, not necessarily... most guys don't know flower language anymore, they'll often just get something that looks pretty

@@EsiNotEssie to be fair, a lot of modern men post 1940’s aren’t aware of flower language.

Thank you both for the explanation

This could also make sense too as she always wore yellow as a friend to El. As she wrongs her best friend, her outfits transitions from friendly yellow to other colors.

i think especially since bridgerton is a more guilty pleasure/fluffy type show, i love that they were still so thoughtful about the costumes 💛

Yes @artatmidnight

@@artatmidnight also I saw on the green dress it had pink accents which supports green representing the love between her and colin! (Also quick question, what show is this? It seems interesting!)

Thanks for Bandera

Ooo

Yes this is the reason why pen always wear yellow clothes

Yellow can also mean greed. You can see in S2 Ep8, she wears yellow during her fight with Eloise. She said she gave up Lady Whistledown for her, but when Eloise left, she got her paper and pen and started writing all over again. She’s greedy now, she’s started her lies and conflict. Yellow represents so much of Penelope’s personality, it also represents betrayal which really fit when she started writing her last of first Lady Whistledown paper.

@@plmdea no, but in the book, she never confessed to Eloise. Lady Danbury was the one knows she's the lady whistledown, next Benedict and lastly she tells Eloise when she was planning to quit. Penelope in the book and Penelope in the tv series aren't much very like. Pen in series is becoming greedy as hell because her pen name as lady whistle down becoming a boom. But pen in the book she wants to quit as a lady whistledown because the people surrounding her are fighting. After all, I remember at the party lady Danbury challenges the people to find the real lady whistledown (but she knows it's Penelope) and the people become suspicious of everyone to the point they become hated each other. That's the reason why pen quit as lady whistle down she doesn't want everyone to be mad because of finding the real lady whistledown. She's down to earth in the book but in the series, they change her into a greedy woman.

@@uoebsjs3059 oh…i never read the book, my family are kinda saving money rn too but i heard it was better than watching Bridgerton so i’m pretty excited to read it in the future. Huh, i never knew any of that, thanks!

Yeah…it’s from the books. When she is finally able to dress herself she looks better because yellow never suited her.

That’s really cool! She seems like a down to earth nice person! I want to meet her one day, she’s really a great character in Bridgerton, plus she’s making a comeback.

💛💛💛

LUCKYYYYY im such a fan of her T_T

I loved her in Derry Girls.

@@zahraansari3710 Same! I'm really going to miss that show

yes ! if she wears more green, i’m hoping it will go from pale to vibrant as her character develops more ! 💚

@@artatmidnight Yeeeesss I'm also kinda hoping they try emerald green for some reason I just want to see her in it 😀

oh my gosh… yes! I know for certain green will be her color once she’s married, kinda combining the Featherington yellow and Bridgerton blue. But I can’t help to wonder what her color will be now that she isn’t influenced by her mother or love

I spent most of the day reading the first book and I accidentally read almost all of it in one day It's so good so far!

Yees, in the books her mom always makes she use yellow by saying it's a happy color, but she often is criticized by the color for making her look sick and unattractive, and I think that she says that using yellow is actually sad for her, but I may be confusing

Thanks for this explanation because when I watched the video at first I thought “did the costume designer not read the books?!!” Lol

@@tdp8212 same! I thought why all the meanings? Just follow the book. 😂

Thank you! Literally came here to say this and you did it for me! Cheers!

thank you! bridgerton does a great job with using colour to express all the different characters & families, especially when there are so many ! 💛

Exactly what I thought in season 1 when it was revealed she’s Lady Whistledown.

FR 😂

Cowardice, but yes.

Me who's favourite colour is yellow :'(

Its covertness

omg thank you 🥹 maybe after S3 comes out ! 💛

Their

Was coming here to say this

Yes! The books!

Was looking for this comment

yes, and after she married Colin, she starts using other colors more suited for her complexion.

nice

I'm relieved to see you protecting our realm so it doesn't falls into the hands of the wicked

@allbluberries You missed the one above you. Bold print. I'm on leave this week.

Same lmao

What color does she choose ?

@@a.g.demada5263 I'm pretty sure it's blue, but it's been a while since i read the book, so i'm not positive about that

@@MickyDVeteran ah ok. Thank you

i believe benedict is next in the books (although i haven’t read them) but it was confirmed recently that penelope & colin will be S3 for the show

@@artatmidnight i’m fairly sure - just from what i’ve heard - that they may be running alongside each other. in any case, pushing back colin and penelope for longer would likely only make them more unlikeable/annoying as this season really took their characters downhill

maybe

They can’t do An Offer From a Gentleman yet because they haven’t laid the groundwork for it. I predict that the party where Penelope has her glow up moment might also be the party Sophia sneaks into and she meets Benedict.

The show probably wants to be come across as “realistic” in terms of the fact that siblings don’t get married in chronological order. At least not normally. So instead, they’ve probably decided to fallout of the order of the books and create their own timeline of when each couple falls in love. Which, aside from the shows historical inaccuracies, makes for a more realistic story.
