I remember once seeing part of a 1950s film (an Edgar Allan Poe, I
think) which featured a woman in Elizabethan costume but with projecting
bosoms in the middle of her stomacher.

Scaramouche (the one made in 1952) has always been one of my favorites.

  It's set in the 18th century, but the women all have the 50s 
lift-and-separate bullet bras underneath their gowns.  I'm sure there 
are many other costume gaffes as well, but that's the most noticeable 
one.  It's a charming movie, though--good swordfight at the end.
