One Oscar-winning nominee for this category put out an ad for WWII clothing for Schindler's List. Name that category.

Costume designers of period pieces often have their work cut out for them. The costume designer of Schindler's List, Anna Biedrzycka-Sheppard, had to collect 20,000 costumes for extras. Seems an impossible task. To complete it, she put out an ad in Poland seeking clothes from the 1930s and '40s, and no doubt, the ad was answered in kind, and it won her a nomination.
