Jessas Velvet Gown, Crimped Hair on Last Nights Girls

Beyoncé's Super Bowl halftime show could not have been more perfectly timed last night! What better way to follow tear-away skirts and iguana leather than by watching Jessa swill red wine in a die-cut velvet dress? The fourth episode followed two separate but equally awkward dinners: Jessa met Thomas-John's parents, and Hannah made pad Thai for Shoshanna and Ray, Charlie and Audrey, and Marnie at her apartment. Outfit-wise, it was a rather tame episode — no mesh shirts or shorteralls, alas — but Jessa's ensembles really shined. We caught up with costume designer Jenn Rogien to dissect the characters' clothing choices, as well as Marnie's weight loss.

How did you pick Jessa’s outfit for when she meets Thomas-John’s parents?
Jenn Rogien: Well in the first scene, when she’s in the house arranging flowers and doing her Jessa thing, she’s wearing this incredible white crocheted dress. That was something that we found vintage, and it’s handmade. It was a nod to a line in the script about her having a Mrs. Dalloway moment, with the flowers. We also had a hat standing by, but it just wasn’t quite the right thing in the moment. I had e-mailed our brilliant hair-and-makeup team with a picture of the dress, and they came up with this incredible crimped hairdo.
