wardrobe used and reused

[Buttercup]

I didn’t realize the characters wore the same clothes, in different episodes.

Here is the thread. 

Recycled Costumes


The images of the dress have apparently been deleted in that thread, but I have managed to find them. The dress was worn by  Julie Cobb in The Airmail Man, Mariclaire Costello in The Triangle, and Kathleen Cody in The Ring. I’m pretty sure I saw Patsy Brimmer wearing the same dress.  If I find a picture, I’ll post it here too. 

I knew I’d find it eventually. Season 5, The Wedding, Patsy Brimmer’s dress. I think it is the same dress worn by these other women.

Patsy’s dress has a little bow at the collar that isn’t on the other women’s dresses, but otherwise it looks like the same dress to me.

Interesting.  What I immediately noticed from that picture of Patsy from The Wedding:  late 1930s dress paired with late 1970s feathered hairstyle.

I never paid attention to the reuse of same clothes.  Maybe, I'll look for that in future viewings.  Sometimes, I like to focus on whether the characters' clothes, makeup, and hairstyles fit with the time period.
