### #BlessedBetheFruit Imagine if the wives of Gilead had access to the internet—there’s no doubt they would become remarkable influencers! Their talents in gardening, needlepoint, and knitting would transform their social media feeds into vibrant showcases of creativity and skill. From stunning arrangements of flowers cultivated in their greenhouses to exquisitely embroidered samplers, their pages would reflect the beauty they create within their constrained lives. And for the elite among them, posts of joyful children would add a charming touch. However, behind the polished facade, the hard work of the Marthas—who tirelessly maintain the household and prepare meals—would remain in the shadows, as would the sacrifices of the Handmaids that bear children for them. The reality of power dynamics and oppression would likely be filtered out, as sharing such truths wouldn’t resonate well beyond Gilead’s boundaries. ### Design & Details Crafted by our talented in-house design team, this Wife of Gilead costume from *The Handmaid’s Tale* captures the eerie and unsettling essence of the series perfectly. The costume features a modest tea-length dress designed with a zip closure at the back, complemented by three-quarter length sleeves and an elegant bow at the high neckline. A rich blue cape layers gracefully over the dress, fastening at the neck with a hook and eye closure and incorporating side slits that allow for free movement of your arms. To complete this iconic look, pair it with tall boots and adopt a stern expression—your portrayal will surely leave an impression! ### Feeling Blue Colors play a crucial role in the uniforms of Gilead, each speaking to the identity and societal roles of the women portrayed. The Handmaids don deep red gowns, symbolizing the fertility of the fallen women, while the Marthas wear muted greens to reflect their healing and supportive roles. Though the show features the wives in teal, author Margaret Atwood originally described them in a pristine Virgin Mary blue, epitomizing the purity associated with their social standing. Are you ready to embody the chilling character of a Wife of Gilead this Halloween? Dive into the complex nuances of this role and experience the haunting tales of power and conformity!
