whole year's wardrobe budget?

So far I've found blouses and could probably make a skirt.

Responses:

bolero jacket, lacey turtle/mockneck top, a mortisha type dress, but I'm thinking an extra long pakistani/indian linen type dress -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 27, 22:20 1
- look up used wedding dress/prom dress stores, in fact the whole 70's gunne sax line was basically modeled after a countried gibson style -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 27, 22:22
i think some of the thrift stores up here get leftover prop costumes from the studios - moles Mar 27, 22:14 3
- I wouild guess most of those places would price them up especially if they can point to the movie it was used in - zeitgeist Mar 27, 22:26 1
  - no these are just generic extra stuff that was taking up space -- nm - moles Mar 27, 22:30
- Guess I'm not sure I want it badly enough to venture into L.A. :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 27, 22:22
does Ebay have retro or vintage clothing listings? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 27, 22:00 2
- That's where I found the blouse. Complete outfits would seem to run $200-$300. -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 27, 22:10 1
  - LA is full of Studio used/warn Clothes shops. I believe Western even has their own. -- nm - peglegpete Mar 27, 22:15
