This is a m a z i n g 🤩 I love getting to see all her inspo and process. Seeing it all put together on the actors, and in the scenes, must have been so exciting for her and her team. It makes such a difference that they devoted so much time, energy, and budget to this level of detail. The whole thing truly is a masterpiece 💫 Much appreciation to everyone who contributed to this series 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

The costumes were spot on. Because I was in jr high 86 to 87 and high school 88 to 92. Hair missed the puffy bangs that had to get early to tense. I absolutely love stranger things

Looking at yearbooks for the specific year and the specific location that the season is based on is so amazingly cleaver.

This whole show is amazing. So much thought and detail in every aspect of the production. I’m 75 and have loved every episode. Well done everyone

I've always wondered how much time and effort was put into what the characters are wearing. Crazy attention to detail, and it's also super interesting they'll sketch concept art to get and idea for what people at any given scene location would be wearing

See, the amount of detail that goes into just the clothing is a prime example of why it takes so long for this show to come out. This is one of the best and most detailed shows I have ever seen and I cannot complain because the quality is superb.

Did they leak a season 5 scene 10:06 because recording wrapped in late 23 so it’s possible

El's clothes throughout seasons 1-3 was nice and cute but what happened to her fashion sense in season 4 and 5, ESPECIALLY 5! I mean I understand that she doesn't have a developed sense of fashion but it's not that she's living under a rock or something

It hurt so bad to see Eleven being bullied and never getting any kind of revenge or being able to show off her powers to the bullies 🙁

So surprised to hear that they regretted max's outfit! I genuinely can't picture her in any other outfit during the running up the hill scene, I think it enhanced the lighting and emotions even more! It's very iconic I think 🙂

I understand the thinking behind Eleven's clothing choices by the costume designer.. but shouldn't the clothing styles of the school kids and the influence of the popular girls have had some small influence on her choice of clothing? Other than the milkshake dress, they really did such a stellar job <3
