  1. I would so wear the dress that Hazel Court wore to marry Satan in The Masque of the Red Death. Freakin’ fabulous!

  2. For me it would be: The amazing black/white striped number from ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’, the insanely gothic red dress in ‘Crimson Peak’, Julie Andrews’ wedding dress in ‘Sound of Music’, Michelle Pfeiffer’s black and white Edwardian number in ‘Cheri’ and anything at all worn by Glenn Close in ‘Dangerous Liaisons’

  3. I loved that dress from The Queen’s Gambit. Beth’s whole wardrobe on that show was super enviable. And I think Gabriele Binder is a name to watch in costume design.

    1. The most enviable, desirable item from Queen’s Gambit is the large checkerboard print, soft pink and white top coat she wears when she is shopping in Paris. I never wanted a piece of clothing from a movie more.

  4. There were several dresses/gowns in The Golden Bowl I’d love to wear, as well as the robe that the woman that Ryan Gosling’s character was sleeping with wore in The Notebook.

    1. I just remembered some more. Also, the dresses and suits worn by Bridget Fonda in The Road to Wellville. It’s an awful movie (that I can’t stop watching), but has lovely women’s costumes from the early 1900s.

  5. No particular outfit is coming to mind, but I’d be happy with stiffened bodices and other non-bra support garments. My bras annoy me more with every passing day, and replacements are expensive.

  6. Anything in “Wings of the Dove.” And anything on Gina McKee in “The Forsyte Saga.”

  7. Clare’s wedding dress in Outlander. I could have spent the episode’s hour just looking at it.

  8. First thing that popped into my mind was Lady Sybils harem pants outfit in Downtown Abbey. So shocking 😎

  9. I don’t know if this is your wheelhouse, but pretty much anything Polly Walker wears as Atia of the Julii – Ms. Walker is not sylph of a girl, but her clothing was so wonderfully drapey and flattering and lovely that she exploded with beauty (and sex appeal!) each time she was on the screen.

  10. Oooh…so many good responses here! The 13-year old version of me absolutely loved the huge wedding dress Julia Ormond wore in the TV mini-series Young Catherine. I’m pretty sure that was her wedding dress; it’s the one that was about five feet wide! As a woman, I’m still fascinated by it. Practically ANY female costume from the Starz version of Camelot, Rome, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula–especially Mina’s green dress when she meets young Dracula on the streets of London and her red dress when they have dinner together. Also, all of Amy Adams’s costumes in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day were gorgeous too!

  11. Scarlet’s red dress in GWTW – she looks awesome when she appears in the doorway.

  12. The Queen’s Gambit dresses, anything out of Dangerous Liaisons, the archery dress in the Gwyneth version of Emma, the Races dress and the ballgown from My Fair Lady…the two epic Ginger Rogers dresses from Top Hat and Follow The Fleet (not historical then, but historical now!), and the red riding outfit in Barbra Streisand’s On A Clear Day You Can See Forever (the one with the top hat, not the one with the hearts down the front).

  13. i think i’ll have to be the noisy one but it’s not the first time you refer to that first picture from L’innocente (1976) as from that film when actually i’m pretty sure that’s Romy Schneider in Ludwig (1972)

  14. Maybe because it’s so hot here right now, but I’d love to wear the cool dresses Naomi Watts wears in The Painted Veil.

  15. Also, I want everything Ana, Cristina and Clara wear in the Spanish drama series Velvet.
