What Happens To Costumes From The Set Of General Hospital?

Soap opera actors have their own sense of style and so do their characters, with the fashion sense on "General Hospital" coming from costume designer Shawn Reeves. Each item of clothing is designated to a character and does not leave the studio even if the performer would love to wear an outfit outside the show. 

Instead, everything is each and every piece of clothing and all individual accessories get cataloged and put away in a drawer designated to a character so that when it's time to tape the same soap day on a different real-world calendar day, the way an actor dresses for the camera remains consistent, according to ABC-13.

Each drawer also has a character name and a picture of what they looked like the day prior, also for consistency. Eagle-eyed fans can often tell when a show doesn't make sure every detail of a character's wardrobe flows, so the wardrobe department's job is of the utmost importance. But, what about that Nurses' Ball and all those changes Lucy Coe has to make every year?
