countess-zaleska: “Vera West created gowns that were worn by leading ladies who were draped across the arms of monsters, zombies, mummies, and invisible men. From a wedding dress made of hospital sheets and bandages to lace trimmed silk negligees and formal evening gowns, she designed some of the most important horror film costumes for queens of scream in an era of extreme Hollywood glamour (…) She is first given credit as a costume designer at Universal in the film, The Man Who Laughs, in 1928, based on the novel by Victor Hugo (…) Vera West’s last film at Universal in the horror genre was She-Wolf of London with June Lockhart and Don Porter in 1946.” ( x ) -- source link
