Is there a more iconic Hollywood dress? nm

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Jun 20 '11, 09:26

Dorothy's maybe? Scarlett's curtain dress? Honestly...I think the Marilyn dress is the one.

Responses:

Maybe Dorothy's gingham. But that's overshadowed by the shoes anyway. -- nm - mara Jun 20, 09:31
I think it's close between this and Dorothy. -- nm - Ender Jun 20, 09:31 13
- I'm reading that the gingham dress was sold in the same auction, but I can't find a price. -- nm - loosilu Jun 20, 09:32 12
  - here we go! it went for 1.1 million. I think Marilyn's goes for more because it's so sexy. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 20, 09:34 11
    - Dorothy's dress was a test dress, not used in the final filming. -- (link) - Ender Jun 20, 09:37 10
      - "Worn by Judy Garland as �Dorothy� in the first two weeks of filming in The Wizard of Oz. Auction Location:" -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 09:40 3
        
        But I think they threw at the first two weeks' footage. - Ender Jun 20, 09:45 2
        
        that's interesting. (also, i like that Buddy Ebsen is in there somewhere.) -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 09:47
        
        -at +out -- nm - Ender Jun 20, 09:46
      - is the same true of the shoes? I thought the red shoes were in the Smithsonian. -- nm - loosilu Jun 20, 09:39 5
        
        (And apprently four pairs exist in the normal style, one of which is at the Smithsonian.) -- (link) - Ender Jun 20, 10:00
        
        Yeah, the shoes in the auction were test shoes in a different style. - Ender Jun 20, 09:43 1
        
        oooooooooooooooh. -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 09:44
        
        they are. (but, there was probably more than one pair) -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 09:40 1
        
        There are. The red slippers are the holy grail of memorabilia collectors. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 09:53
if i ever had to make a choice between them (hey, it *could* happen), i'd take Scarlett's. -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 09:28
I can't really think of one, no... -- nm - znufrii Jun 20, 09:27
i think Marilyn gets two to her credit - this and and the one she sang Happy Birthday to JFK in . -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 09:27 3
- what about the red dress from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? -- nm - loosilu Jun 20, 09:27 2
  - oops, it's pink! but you know it. Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 20, 09:30 1
    - and apparently it was sold in a separate auction last week for just under $400K. NOt too shabby. - loosilu Jun 20, 09:31
nothing comes close IMO. -- nm - loosilu Jun 20, 09:27
