Ever wonder how the characters on The Vampire Diaries always have the perfect thing to wear? Last night’s episode was a visual feast, but where did all those amazing outfits come from?

Fortunately for us, Zap2it interviewed costume designer Leigh Leveret, and she shares some things about dressing for the ball.

“We do so many episodes fairly quickly and everyone has two to four changes an episode, so we have to have enough clothes for 22 episodes,” she says. “We do multiples because people are always getting stabbed or bitten. We buy the initial piece and go online to find multiples all over the country sometimes.”

An exception would be the clothes Elena, Caroline, Stefan and Damon wore to a ball Klaus hosted in an episode that aired Feb. 9. Leverett searched for the perfect Cinderella-like dresses for Elena and Caroline and found two that are truly special.

“We used ‘Beauty and the Beast’ as a reference to mix it up from the slinky evening wear you normally see on the show,” she says.

This is a great little piece that also reveals where Elena and Caroline’s dresses came from, a question we know a lot of fans are asking. READ THE REST AT ZAP2IT.
