Costume design inspires from various sources.
The costume design for Bridgerton season 3 draws inspiration from a variety of sources.

1820 dresses resemble modern evening gowns.
The dresses designed for Bridgerton season 3, particularly those worn by Penelope Featherington, are inspired by the fashion of the 1820s. What's remarkable is that these dresses bear a striking resemblance to modern evening gowns. According to John Glaser, the costume designer, the shape of dresses in 1820 more closely resembles that of evening gowns in the 1950s.This similarity is owed to the fact that both eras featured similar silhouettes, with a focus on corsets, bustles, and flowing skirts.

This blending of eras creates a truly unique and captivating visual aesthetic that adds to the show's allure.
