Costumes

(dramatic music) - We haven't gone too far away from the Poldark that we all love.

He still has his iconic tricorn, his favorite stocking shirt which he loves.

We've got new boots.

This is a new coat that we've had made for Aidan.

The detail with the buttons, a kind of sort of, slightly military feel that reflect his past career, in something that has a little bit more swagger to it.

We've introduced a couple of extra waistcoats, they are mixing more in society, and this is one of his favorites.

Just felt for a girl with such pale skin and red hair, out in the middle of Cornwall, I would've thought she wore a straw hat, we found a fantastic original straw that she just wore.

- I must leave immediately.

- Very much kept her palette to the terracottas, and the sort of emerald greens, and they've got more broken down, more dirty, and I love that.

- You can supply the feast.

- What I have done this year is to try and enhance her shape, a more womanly shape.

You need to believe that she's been pregnant, had these babies.

Because they do have a little bit more money, she does have a couple of dresses, it's still quite a sort of simple design and shape, but it's all about the sort of pleating and the detail.

- May I introduce my wife Camilla?

- This is her smartest gown, but still simple in comparison to Caroline and Elizabeth.

A lot of the fabrics and things that we've chosen for her are very rich and luxurious, they're all the silk moire, and watermarked silk, but we've kept the style very much of the period, early 1790s.

What I've done with her character this year is choose a palette that I felt was slightly bruised, if that makes sense.

We've kept things quite muted and quite sort of melancholic, really.

- Morwenna.

- The color palette for her was very much of the sea, and of the earth, and of the flowers.

It's a very simple, very earth bound, very innocent.

Within the storyline, very much wanted to show where they come from, and the fact that they are on the sort of lowest rung of the ladder.

Sam is a little more complicated because he has the minister feel to him.

We put him in these rather ill-fitting, really faded out clothes, they were like dead people's clothes, nothing that you would have had would have been new.

- Tholly!

- He's the pirate.

He's the loose cannon.

- Is it thee, young Captain?

- I just wanted to show you somebody you believed had been on the high seas and just had a story to tell.

(water splashing) Hook was the challenge, almost like a sort of Swiss army penknife.

He could almost eat his food with it.

- I thought you were dead.

- You imagine him sleeping, eating, breathing, killing, or doing whatever he does, in that costume.

- See ya hit by a whisker?

Or hand?
