Places to find Costume Pictures
 | Look for
 | the official site for the movie |
 | the fan site for the movie |
|
 | Sites that normally have good sized pics of the latest movies
 | Rotten Tomatoes
 | Very good resolution on pics |
 | Besides having the PR pics, they also print all of the studio's
release notes so check out their "about" tab for more costume
information |
 | They've been around a while so they have some of the older movies
too |
 | Only downside, costume and fantasy movies don't get any special
treatment so they're not likely to have any "extra" pictures. |
|
 | Coming Soon.net
 | Sometimes have extra pictures |
 | Good resolution |
|
 | Monsters and Critics
 | A bit hard to navigate sometimes, but start searches in
their database. |
 | Won't always have pictures, but when they're doing special
coverage, can find some nice hard to find pics |
 | Sometimes have extra articles |
 | Also cover theater so may have pics of the latest plays |
|
 | Out Now
 | Swiss site that has high rez images of some of the latest movies.
They won't have everything, but on movies covered, do sometimes have
more pictures. |
|
 | Also check out the next section. Pictures of original
costumes displayed for sale make great reference. |
|

Original Movie Costumes for Sale
Want the original costume? Want to own a piece of cinema history?
Have a big budget? There are web sits out there that sell the original
garments.
Keep in mind, they are pre-worn and some may be distressed... and to wear
them you must fit the actor's size. Items listed are changing
constantly.
These are great pictures of movie costumes. Also consider saving
pics for your personal research. The costumers are shown under better
light and in different ways than in the movies. You can see great
detals.
