Mildred Pierce is the recent HBO five-part television adaptation of the book by James M. Cain (also made into a film in 1945 starring Joan Crawford). Kate Winslet and Evan Rachel Wood's costumes have been designed by Ann Roth. In this interview with Haper's Bazzar Roth says that she is not a "fashion person" and that she doesn't dress movie stars, rather "actors playing characters".
Winslet wears a total of 66 outfits during the miniseries which sees a time span of nearly a decade from 1931 to 1940. This 'time span' adds to the creativity of Roth's costumes as she had to take many things into account, such as available materials of the time, the character's budget and changing trends.
This amusing and informative article by Grazia has lots more information about the Mildred Pierce costumes (and offers an apology for initially dismissing the costumes as not being glamorous enough!)
