CUT! WARDROBE! GRAB A HOLLYWOOD COSTUME OFF THE RACK AT A STORE NEAR YOU.

Got a gala on the calendar?

Honey, you've gotta check out those awesome blue bridesmaid gowns from the sleeper comedy hit ``My Big Fat Greek Wedding.''

Just stop by It's a Wrap in Burbank, where many of the costumes worn in the film are on sale. But hurry, as this is the busiest time of the year in the celebrity castoff business.

As the television season winds up, wardrobes are flooding several niche stores that carry celebrity clothing - worn on or off screen. Sorry, all those frisky little numbers from HBO's ``Sex and the City'' are already gone, reports It's a Wrap owner Tiarra Nappi.

Soap fans who hurry can find this season's wardrobes for ``Days of Our Lives,'' ``The Bold and the Beautiful,'' ``General Hospital'' and ``Port Charles'' at the Burbank store. The clothes aren't labeled, says Nappi, but true fans will know who wore what.

At Reel Clothes and Props in North Hollywood, you can find big-name cast-offs such as petticoats worn by Catherine Zeta-Jones in ``Mask of Zorro,'' a sexy ensemble with stilettos worn by Pamela Anderson in `VIP'' and - coming soon - will be items from the ``Spider-Man'' wardrobe, says owner Lennard Billin.

However, that memorable red chinoiserie dress worn by Kirsten Dunst got snagged by Star Wares in Agoura Hills. Owner Marcia Tysseling says it most likely will be auctioned at Sotheby's. Meanwhile, she's got gobs of clothes out of Cher's personal closet, as well as Jodie Foster's wardrobe from ``Panic Room.''

These specialty stores will sell items right off the rack but usually ask people to bid on their Web sites. For instance, says Tysseling, Angelina Jolie's photo-print T-shirt worn in ``Girl, Interrupted'' is now up to $900 and Denzel Washington's T-shirt from ``The Siege'' is at $350.

Celeb fashion on the cheap can also be found, but you'll have to settle for what the background actors wore or for slightly soiled T-shirts and jeans from the '50s film ``Deuces Wild'' priced at $9.99 and up at Star Wares.

Winona Ryder has put a number of highly recognizable red carpet gowns on consignment at Decades Inc. in Los Angeles. Looking to finance legal fees as she faces shoplifting and drug charges? No, Decades owner Cameron Silver says, Ryder plans to give the proceeds to ``Drop the Debt,'' a charity campaign to relieve the debt burden of the poorest nations. Silver cites a pink satin Gucci gown seen on the cover of Vogue magazine as a great deal at $350. But keep in mind the actress is a size 2-4, he adds.

Have a slightly larger, more mature figure?

``We have more than 400 items - with lots of sequined gowns - donated by Janet Leigh, Florence Henderson, Rhonda Fleming and Candy Spelling,'' says Cheryl Schreiber, manager of Celebrity Glamour Shop, in Los Angeles. The oldest shop of its kind, Celebrity Glamour opened in 1930 during the Great Depression so that ``bit players'' could afford to buy the gowns worn by stars such as Mary Pickford.

Still true to its original mission, Schreiber says beaded gowns worn by stars can be purchased for $200 and under.

And there are plenty of men's fashions out there, including clothing worn by Brad Pitt, David Duchovny and Charlie Sheen at Reel Clothes. Customer Patrick Renfro of Burbank is a regular shopper, and he's particularly proud of his souvenir from the 1993 film ``Jurassic Park.''

``I have the entire outfit - even the neckerchief - worn by Sam Neill in the movie. But I've never worn it because it's too valuable. I paid $2,000 for it,'' says Renfro, who also owns costumes and armor from the TV action series ``Xena,'' which he says are great conversation pieces.

Outlandish costumes attract the most fans and those colorful custom-made clothes worn by Don Johnson on the canceled ``Nash Bridges'' series are purchased by people around the globe, particularly in Japan, says the owner of Star Wares.

The biggest fan, however, is David Finch of Long Beach, who says he added on a room to store all of Johnson's T-shirts worn with silk vests and contrasting jackets, Tysseling says.

For those who actually want to wear a ``Nash Bridges'' ensemble, she says they'll need to be a size 42 regular with a lot of confidence and cash - at least $1,000 - to compete in the bidding wars that started when the show ended.

``Nash Bridges.'' No Emmys, but quite a fashion stance.
