Recycled Movie Costumes

I thoroughly recommend having a look at this website i just found-

www.recycledmoviecostumes.com/

Costume designers frequently have to work to a very constrained budget and have to devise cheaper ways to make costumes look just as fabulous. This website shows how designers sometimes recycle old costumes from previous productions and make them their own. I knew this happened in fringe all the time, but it's nice to see that even big Hollywood designers still keep their amazing resourcefulness.
