I love Breakfast at Tiffany's and I LOVE the dress Audrey Hepburn wore. It's such an iconic beautiful piece and I would so love to make it for myself.

My favorite movie is The Thomas Crown Affair, but I can't recall if there are any dresses that strike my fancy!

One of my favorite movies is The Hunger Games. I loved the flame dress. Some didn't like it. They thought it wasn't fantastic enough. But I thought it was perfect.

Hitchcock's less well known film - Rebecca

"I wish I were a woman of 36, dressed in black satin with a string of pearls!"

That dress. Defiantly. Oh and the costume she wore at the ball

My fave is Repo! The Genetic Opera and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to make any of Blind Mag's dresses. They're all so beautiful, but some of them look complicated to recreate.

The Princess Bride has some of the prettiest dresses! Oh, to be Buttercup!

One of my favorite movies is Sherlock Holmes and it has the most excellent costuming! I love the navy dress that Irene wears towards the end of the movie. I also love the costuming in Alice in Wonderland. The red dress that Alice wears in the red queen's castle is fantastic!

My favorite movie doesn't have the greatest dresses of all time, but I find that I can watch it over and over, is Clueless. Man, I just love 90's throwbacks

Well my favorite movie has no dresses in it, but the movie in which I absolutely love the dresses in is the most recent Alice in Wonderland film. I could totally see myself rocking that poofy dress they made from curtains or that little dress the Mad Hatter made when she was small.
