Sometimes a film or television production doesnโt need a single costume but an entire set of them. Costume houses stock all kinds of uniforms to dress numerous characters that need to match, from WWII uniforms to outfit an army to period-accurate liveries. In the instance above, a set of old-fashioned diner uniforms has been reused. ย These distinctive blue uniforms and matching caps first appeared on the cult classic television show ๐ป๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐๐, which ran from 1990 to 1991. The costume designer for the show was Sara Markowitz (๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐ โ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐ , ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐). The costumes appear frequently on screen, worn by several characters who play employees at the showโs โDouble Rโ diner. The above photo shows Mรคdchen Amick as Shelly Johnson wearing the uniform. ย After the show ended its short run, the pieces were put into the stock of a costume house to be rented to other productions. Janie Bryant, the costume designer on AMCโs ๐ด๐๐ ๐ด๐๐, seems to have utilized them several times for the series, including the showโs 2009 third season episode entitled ๐บ๐๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐-๐ป๐๐๐๐, where one of the uniforms was worn by Dani Repp as a waitress at Swensonโs Bakery in Ossining, New York. ย One of the costumes was used in the 2014 season of ๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐ , where Cheryl Texiera wore it as Katy Hart. ย Find out where else these costumes were used by visiting our website at Bit.ly/PostEd120
