From the stars' dressing rooms to the showroom floor, a London auction house is set to put hundreds of ionic costumes from film and television under the hammer.
Stephanie Connell, Ent. auction specialist, said, "With it being the largest auction of costumes in Europe and also with it being the star pieces from Angels, the costumer who are Europe's largest costumer -- it means that you've got a range of costumes from across the last 50 years in film and television history."

It was identified in an inventory of 1.5 million items of clothing on the six miles of rails at Angels' headquarters in Hendon, north London.
Angels, founded in 1840, is the world's longest-established supplier of costumes to the film,theatre and television industry.

Its shop became a favorite with theatre actors who, at one time, had to purchase their own clothes and costumes for auditions and performances.
Connell also said, "Some of the items are quite reasonably priced and the items you can have for fancy dress are really interesting.So, there's a range of people that would buy the items."
Other costumes in this, the ultimate dressing-up box, include items from the 007 Bond movies, Supergirl, Four Weddings and a Funeral. Interested customers who want the items for professional, or personal use, will have the opportunity to try on selected costumes.
