I love Sven Brides for Seven Brothers!
ReplyDeleteI just love the gowns and dresses in "White Christmas." Classic and stylish.
ReplyDeleteFollowed several of your pinterest pages - fun! Young Victoria, because I'd just begun learning about actual authentic historical fashion (beyond "oh, that's pretty"), and they got it spot on, down to the odd hairstyles. Can't watch Bonanza or Gunsmoke or any of those without commenting on where they got it right and wrong, which drives my husband crazy (they show old western shows on the wall at our favorite Mexican restaurant, which is in a former movie theater). Mad Men, too - I don't like the show itself (not my style), but the one episode I watched I kept nearly bursting with excitement ("not only is the style right, but that fabric! you can't get that fabric now! that's obviously polyester brocade, it's amazing, either that's a vintage dress in perfect condition or they've got REALLY dedicated costumers!").
ReplyDeletePick me! I have a couple vintage button cards and love them. Btw Foziewisp is a great word!
ReplyDeleteHouse of Eliot - BBC production about women clothing designers in early 1900's.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
Great giveaway! I think coppola's Marie Antoinette is my favorite costume movie!

hmm... I really notice the clothes on Downton Abbey. (not a movie though) I guess I need to start watching for clothes :)
ReplyDeleteThe King and I and any period drama on TV or movie sometimes I to busy looking at the costumes and miss whats going on
ReplyDeleteI love 300, I love how beautiful the Greeks dresses are.
ReplyDeleteI love the clothing in Mad Men which isn't a movie but still cool clothes.
ReplyDeleteLittle Women, Jane Eyre. Love vintage items, thank you for the chance to win!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely 'Some Like it Hot'! I had a custom prom dress in the style of Marilyn's fringed v hem!
ReplyDeleteI love the detail in the costumes of 47 Ronin (although it does have a sad ending).
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest-- I don't usually watch movies and pay tons of attention to costumes. Funny since I like to sew so much... anyhow, I do love the costumes in Mirror, Mirror. I also think the ones in maleficent look amazing.
ReplyDeleteglazefamily3 AT gmail.com
Wow, I've never really paid attention to the costumes! And I love old movies so if I were to pick it probably would be dresses from the 30s and 40s. I'll be paying more attention next time I sit down to watch one of my oldies!
ReplyDeleteI love the costumes in any of the Jane Austin movies, especially Emma.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats those dresses on Gone with The Wind... but the North and South sage was a very close, vERY close second!
ReplyDeleteFound you on the Sew Mama Sew blog giveaway!

ReplyDeleteGone with the Wind.
ReplyDeleteThe dress made from velvet curtains...unleashed up-purpose sewing years before the current trend! :)
I worked in the costume department at my daughters' school - for all 8 years that they were in high school. That's what got me sewing again after not touching it for 40 years. I didn't used to notice costumes in movies but do now!
ReplyDeleteI love the costumes in Amelie-the colors and the mix of vintage and modern styles. I want to copy all of her outfits!
ReplyDeleteThe Great Gatsby
ReplyDeleteI like the clothes in Downton Abbey
ReplyDeleteI really love the costumes in all the Jane Austen movies - Sense & Sensibility in particular.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a movie, but I love the period clothing in Downton Abbey!
ReplyDeleteSherri, you've named some of my favorite movies. Let me add Sabrina, Edith Head was the official designer but as many of us know it was Givenchy that actually designed those fabulous clothes.
ReplyDeleteLove, D
I love the costuming in Anne of Green Gables. sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteI love the movie Pride and Prejudice, it's one of my all time favorites. And the clothes are so amazing.

ReplyDeleteI never have paid that much attention to the clothes

ReplyDeleteThe Sound of Music! I made Leisl's dancing dress last year!
ReplyDeleteI love clueless's costuming choies. The hats Dion wears are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I am loving the costumes on Game of Thrones.

ReplyDeletethank you!
ReplyDeletegreat stash prizes!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great question! Gee, I don't even know! I love the SHOES in the notebook.. And I can't really think of any movie, but I love the flowy southern summer dresses of the 70's..
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I guess I don't pay enough attention to costumes in movies!! I do love Anne of Green Gables though! :)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't really thought about it, but I would say Gone With the Wind.
ReplyDeleteI loved the costuming in Shakespeare in Love.
ReplyDeleteNo specific movie comes to mind (it's late, sorry) but I'm loving 40's vintage looks and Victorian is always amazing too (how did they manage all those layers and all that fabric!). Thanks! Sarah: crjandsbj(at)netzero(dot)com
ReplyDeletehmm, i haven't really watched many movies recently (the joy of 2 young kiddos!). I did love all the different clothes on The Devil Wears Prada though!
ReplyDeleteI think the costuming in all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies is amazing.

I don't know if I've ever looked at the costuming in a movie.
ReplyDeleteSemi-related: the last thing I watched was an old re-run of Scrubs (season one, episode 3?). It's cathartic for me. :)
jhunsberger (at) gmail (dot) com
The original Alfred Hitchcock Rear Window is a fave. I love the setting and have always loved the costuming of that period. All time favorite show is Carol Burnett show with its comedy & costumes! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
ReplyDeletelove the pride and prejudice gowns! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeletePride and Prejudice! I was born in the wrong era!
ReplyDeleteThe Great Gatsby and Game of Thrones have amazing costumes.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree that Funny Face is amazing, also Sabrina. Audrey Hepburn looks beautiful in anything.
ReplyDeleteI love the costumes in Downton Abbey! Which is tv ok so movie I love the outfits in Emma and Jane Eyre! thank you!
ReplyDeleteHello there and thank you for doing the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance! I love the costumes in Downton Abbey!
ReplyDeleteThe Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteNot a movie, but I love the costuming in the tv show Once Upon A Time. Those dresses, and the cloaks the women wear in fairy land, oh my goodness! aprilgilbertson(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteThe Secret of Moonacre has just the most beautiful and original costumes. I'd agree with DangAndBlast and say Young Victoria and it's also a charming movie.
ReplyDeleteThe clothing style in the curious case of benjamin button is pretty neat.
ReplyDeleteI am such a lover of the 1800's. So you know, Persuasion or Pride and Prejudice are favorites of mine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

I cannot think of one. sorry! I liked Dorothy's dress in the wizard of oz! and the other costumes! ksmith8@emich.edu. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI really love the costuming in the various professional productions of Cats that I have seen (and the filmed production). The actors move in those costumes so like cats that you forget they aren't!
ReplyDeleteI've become a follower via Google Friend Connect, if that is worth a separate entry. I'd have followed you anyway, as I could probably keep you in stock with vintage goodies for a long time.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are Gilda and the Notebook
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the giveaway! I really love the Victorian Age clothing, so any movie or show in that time period is a win for me. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory now. Lots of fun clothing!
ReplyDeleteI think I will go with Little Women
ReplyDeleteI really like what they did in Pleasantville. I love that era and think the contrast from black, white & gray to color was fascinating.
