Making this huge wardrobe change possible is set designer Terry Dresbach. In a latest interview, Dresback revealed to Entertainment Weekly how they unknowingly have made over 10,000 new items and acquired 5,000 shoes just for Season 2 alone.
"Knowing that was in front of us … it was a monumental task," the artist said, adding that they had to prepare everything long before Season 1 had ended.
What is even more challenging is the fact that France, where the new season will take place largely, has "one of the most well-documented periods of fashion in the world." So there's the pressure to get everything right even into the smallest detail.
"There is no wiggle room. Everything has to be sumptuous and lavish and every inch is beaded and embroidered," Dresbach shared to the media outlet.
The experience, however, is dream come true for Dresbach.
"This is why I came back into the business to do this show. Getting to do 18th century French court is a designer's dream. It's fabulous," he told EW.
The time-travel drama will find Jamie and Claire in an attempt to stop the Jacobite Rebellion in France.
As of its production status, earlier reports indicated that filming for season two is close to wrapping up. Fans should expect "Outlander" returning to the small screen in spring 2016.
