15 Iconic Costumes That Appeared in More Than One Movie or TV Series

3 years ago

Creating the wardrobe for a production can be very expensive, so some film creators and designers decide to recycle some garments that have already been used in the past to lower costs in the project’s budget. This is how we might sometimes see dresses or accessories that have already appeared in other films or series.

Bright Side picked out some repeats of the clothing or props of characters from different productions that might have been noticed by only a few eagle-eyed viewers.
