MTV asked "Water for Elephants" costume designer Jacqueline West.

From
MTVHave you ever wondered what becomes of all the amazing (and no doubt, costly) costumes after a movie finishes filming?
(Kate: Not when Robert Pattinson around :-P)Because that's ALL we could think about during "Water for Elephants." Seriously. The stunning gowns, the beaded circus wear,
(Kate: They'd be safe enough, I don't think Rob would be interested in those) the boots worn by Robert Pattinson—what would happen to those things? Were they just going to be thrown in a trash can somewhere (and if so, WHERE IS THAT TRASH CAN)?
Luckily for us, "WFE" costume designer Jacqueline West stepped in before we descended into Dumpster-diving madness and provided some answers. The clothes, at least for "WFE," were not discarded (phew!). In fact, Jacqueline said that Reese and Rob actually kept some of the items.
"Reese, because we had multiples in most of hers, she kept the dresses, and I think one of each of her performance costumes," Jacqueline said, prompting us to wonder where Reese could possibly wear some of the circus outfits (Oscars red carpet?).
Of course, Rob didn't go home empty-handed either.
(Kate: Does he ever?)
