Re: [MOPO] Gilda dress
Dear Bruce Because of the kind of dress that it was, Rita literally had to be taped into it every day before shooting started. It was that tight. It is a virtual certainty that it fell apart and was not saved. Unless a spare one was made, just in case, and not used. But it was such an expensive dress that I really doubt that.

Re: [MOPO] Gilda dress
Hallo, good ol' Wikipedia comes to the rescue:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_dress_of_Rita_Hayworth In April 2009, the dress was to be sold at the auction house of Forrest J. Ackerman. In the description of the lot it was specified that the dress still had the label property of Columbia Pictures and Rita Hayworth sewn inside.[5] The initial price was estimated between $30,000 and $50,000, but the lot was withdrawn before it reached the auction.[6][5] Later, in September 2009, the dress appeared mysteriously in an auction on eBay with a starting price of $30,000.[1] --- On Sun, 10/7/11, walter reuben wal...@walterfilm.com wrote: From: walter reuben wal...@walterfilm.com Subject: Re: [MOPO] Gilda dress To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Sunday, 10 July, 2011, 17:38 Dear Bruce Because of the kind of dress that it was, Rita literally had to be taped into it every day before shooting started.

Re: [MOPO] Gilda dress
Another, additional, fun fact: To be able to wear the dress, Hayworth had to wear a corset, because just a few months before she had given birth to her daughter, Rebecca, and had not yet regained her pre-pregnancy figure. In addition to the dress, Jean Louis made a harness, worn under the dress. The harness consisted of rigging - one under the breast, one in the middle and one on the side. In addition, the soft plastic had been molded around the top of the skirt.
