Alison Brie Loved Playing 80s Dress-Up in GLOW

Alison Brie may wear a number of leotards for her lead role as a wrestler on Netflix's GLOW, but that's not all she rocked on the 1980s-set series.

Costume designer Beth Morgan tells The Hollywood Reporter that a lot of the show's clothes (including a mint Escada suit) were from "vintage stores, costume houses and vintage dealers that would send me things to look through." Morgan, who says she researched old JCPenney catalogs and looked at awkward family photos from the '80s, shopped at Recess, The Kit Vintage, The Way We Wore and Catwalk in L.A., as well as Meow in Long Beach.

"I love Ruth's jeans," the actress tells THR, adding that her favorite outfit was in the eighth episode. "I love that little blue top that I wear throughout the episode. We kept trying to get it in episodes before that and I like that in that episode, she throws on her jeans and the purple Members Only jacket. That whole ensemble is my favorite."
