The movie Made in Dagenham has great clothes, wonderful characters, and a fascinating plot. It is set in the 60′s in England, and every outfit is just perfect. There’s even a Cinderella magic dress moment near the end. The movie did not get much press here in the US. I got it from Netflix and watched it last night. If you are interested enough in clothes to be reading this blog, you will love it.

Thanks for the recommendation! I pulled up some info about the movie and I see some of the fabulous clothes: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1371155/mediaindex
I have to see it.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I will definitely track this down. Thanks, Claudine!
So amazing that you mention this. I just watched this two days ago. Loved it. I also noticed that the clothes were very accurate. It was amusing to have the main character get familiar with the rich lady and the politician by commenting on their clothing. Not just complimenting but knowing the designer or source.
Ordered the dvd can’t wait to watch it. :O)
