Clothing worn in movies

March 9, 2005 3:23 PM

How do I find out what clothing was worn by a character in a movie?

For example, if I wanted to know the designer, style, colour etc of a top worn by Julia Roberts in a specific movie, what resources are available that I can use to find out? (Other than Google.) Are there websites that cover this stuff?

As far as i've seen, this is the most publicized one.

I'd dig into the production notes about the film on IMDB. You might learn something by looking at the costume and fashion related credits. For example, if a particular designer was contracted to do all of Julia Robert's merkins for her latest movie, that designer might very well get a special credit in the film notes. IMDB has a boatload of info that you have to sign up for a "pro" account to see. Might be some goodies in there for you.

Try asseenonscreen.com, which used to be a lot better than it is these days.

There's also reel-style.com and tvwear.com for television appearances.
