We all know that historical costume movies and TV series often reuse costumes between shows and films. A gown made for one 18th-century frock flick goes into the stock at Angels or Western Costume and will get rented out for another 18th-century frock flick a few years later. Sometimes, the outfit will get a little re-trimming or a new collar or such. It just makes sense to recycle movie costumes when you have dozens or hundreds of main characters and extras to dress for a production.
Can you identify where some of these frocks have previously been flicked? Test your memory!
Thanks to Recycled Movie Costumes as a reference for this quiz! (Now don’t go using it to cheat, OK?)
Got 12/13 missed only one. But it was difficult and fun.
Congrats!
3/13. I failed with flying colors ^_~
Heh, had to throw out a challenge.
Me too. I just haven’t watched “The Tudors.”
Oh, you know I love this. And….I missed one, which is certainly embarrassing considering I documented them…whoops!
LOL, I did a lot of mixing around tho!
Five right. I am so ashamed.
Oh, it’s not loading for me! :( Just a big blank space… Duh. I’m looking forward to it, though, as reused costumes in period dramas are one of my fave topics.
Found it on the phone, 9/13.
8/13….good one :-) now, im looking for bustle in The Tudors, because o simply need it 😂
Wow, I totally sucked at that, but it was fun just to see the costumes!
2 out of 13: “Your recycling trivia is garbage!” Indeed, but it was fun. It would help if I watched a few movies. :-)
