Scarlett O'Hara's Beautiful Gowns from Gone with the Wind

David O. Selznick, the biggest producer in the Golden Age of Hollywood, directed Gone with the Wind.  I read somewhere that the film was over budget and it was suggested to cut the quality of the cast's costumes.  Selznick refused because he wanted to the actors to actually feel they were in that time period of the Civil War era and slacking on the costumes would have taken away from them embodying their characters.  Interesting.  Here are some photos from my favorite outfits Vivien Leigh (Scarlett) wears in the film. 

 

The Infamous Scarlet Red Dress She Wears to Ashley's Birthday

                The famous green dress she made from curtains to visit Rhett in jail.

I love the peach stone necklace she pairs with the dress.

         

This is high fashion back then in the early 1900s.

 The beautiful red robe she wears when she comes down to get a brandy and finds Rhett in the room drunk and angered with jealousy.
