original costume sketch of Vivien Leigh's Widow's Weeds dress from MGM's
1939 movie classic Gone With the Wind. An original fabric swatch
of black lace is attached to the upper left corner. The Widow's
Weeds dress is worn by Scarlett in a dramatic scene in the first part of
the film, after she is widowed upon the death of her first husband,
Charles Hamilton, during the war. She is wearing this black mourning
dress when Rhett returns from Paris and presents her with a stylish
green bonnet, and remarks "I thought it was about time I got you
out of that fake mourning." |
