"The Green Curtain Dress" is arguably one of the most iconic costumes ever created. It was designed by Walter Plunkett for use on Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara in the 1939 film Gone with the Wind.

It's shocking to think that a gown that has become so iconic in our eyes would go on to be used again. Still, we must remember that before the advent of video and streaming, people saw a movie in the theater and rarely saw it again.

It is not known how many copies of the curtain dress were produced. At least one copy of the costume does seem to have gone on to be altered and used in the 1946 film Bedlam on Anna Lee as Nell Bowen.

The gown has clearly undergone some adjustments. The hoop skirt is no longer worn, and thus, the skirt falls much differently. The caplet on the left shoulder has been removed, large cuffs have been added to the end of the sleeves, and the cording around the waist and shoulder have been removed. However, looking at the collar and the seams of the dress makes it evident that it is indeed the same costume – a fact that is confirmed in the audio commentary of Bedlam.

One copy of the curtain dress is in storage at the David O. Selznick collection at The Harry Ransom Center in Texas, where $30,000 was raised for its restoration.

To properly restore the gown, textile conservator Cara Varnell took great pains in determining what was original to the dress and what was not. Of the dress at the Ransom Center, she says:

"There are several rows of machine stitching on the waistline that don't make sense. There are extensive alterations, and it's not clear when or why they were done."

Is the gown that the Ransom Center owns the same one used in Bedlam? Either way – the dress owned by the Ransom Center is a reminder that even the most exceptional pieces get altered and changed.

My Dad and all of his friends were of this generation. All gone now.

Even the civilization they gallantly defended.

My heart grieves so.

GONE WITH THE WIND And The Mistakes People Commit At Cancelling It

'Gone With The Wind' is a classic from the year of 1939. It's a romance backgrounded on the scenary of the United States Civil War.

Making this post came to my mind when I was chatting about the highest-rated movies on Letterboxd. I was asked "What's the rating for Gone with the Wind?' since it was clearly expected that it had at least a 4-stars rating. I was shocked when I saw it had only a 3,8 rating. I started to read some of the reviews and comments, realizing that people say that this is a racist movie.

As previously mentioned, this is a work producted on the final 30's. If there was a moment on the story of humanity where people were racist, this was one of its peaks. 1939 was the year that the Second War was declared. Even if the producers weren't prejudicial, the people who would watch it at the time were. Don't blame it on the excellent movie made. Still, with all of this, Hattie Mcdaniel could be the first black woman to win an Oscar, which just proves my point that this movie it's fantastic along with all of others awards received. Yeah, there were people who understood the movie and knew how good it was, and no, maybe they weren't racist at all.

Gone with the Wind is a movie about slavery. After all, it's about a romance through a war which had motivations related with slavery. You can't just expect a movie to talk about racism without having racist characters or racist stories. As being loyal to this Civil War time, the movie retracts perfectly how the people's minds were at the time.

Gone with the Wind is not a racist movie, it's a movie about racism.

I will never understand why this movie keeps being canceled, and I will forever think that people really don't understand its message.
