Bridgerton, admitted that she “cried so much” when she went for her dress fitting for the hit Netflix show.Speaking to Tatler, the actress remembered trying on her costumes when she was first selected to join one of TV’s most famous families.Bridgerton is returning to Netflix later this month on March 25 and the new series has already set tongues wagging.

Claudia, who plays the bright, rebellious Eloise Bridgerton is set to re-appear alongside her co-star Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington.Following the exciting reveal of Lady Whistledown last season and the exit of fan favourite the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page) fans are eager to see what will happen next.One element of the show that fans have loved so far is the stunning costume design, which boasts a number of decadent dresses made of expensive-looking fabrics.In an interview with Tatler, Jessie was asked what it was like to wear some of the most luxuriant dresses known to mankind - and her response was surprisingly emotional.“I cried a lot when I’d wear them," she admitted.“When I tried them on in fittings, I remember one particular dress I was like, ‘I feel so lucky to be wearing this.’ “And they said, ‘Do you want to go around and meet all the people who made this?’ “And I did, sobbing.

Unbelievable,” the actress reflected.The interview also revealed that Jessie grew up in London with her mother working diligently to support the family through various cleaning jobs.Ruminating on how similar she might be to her character, Claudia added: “My mum thinks I’m a lot like Eloise, and you know, she raised me, so probably dealt with me when I was Eloising about, being a terror.” On the show, Eloise [removed surname] is the fifth eldest Bridgerton sibling.
