I love historical clothing, researching and general accuracy, and this show makes me have a physical, "Oh god no stop" reaction.

Sure, make a Gossip-Girl-esque historical AU, but don't pretend you care a damn about Mary Stuart or history. They don't even try and aim for 1500's inspired fashion, there's dresses from the 1700's and 1800's in there and it just looks ridiculous.

I can't find a source atm, but the costume designer said something along the lines of "Girls aren't interested in history". Well fuck you too.

I hate this show.

Ugh, I hate that attitude from people who create shows like this, it's so narrow minded. I loved history as long as I've been able to read, and I would've loved historically accurate programs.

Yeah, let's see a source, because I have read a ton of interviews with the costume designers for Reign and they have never fucking ever said anything even close to this.

As for "pretending to give a damn", they have been up front about the clothing from the beginning, and never expected anyone to think they were trying for historically accurate.

I think AYRT got them confused with Adelaide Kane. She's been saying something similar (It’s entertainment – it’s not the History Channel. How many teenage girls do you know who are obsessed with history?):

And that would not be the first time Adelaide Kane has proven herself to be a dumbass. But she isn't writing, running, or dressing the show, she's not speaking for everyone behind it.
