About the Design

Iconic fabric for an iconic gown from the classic Gone With the Wind.

The pattern on this fabric is as close as we could get it and work commenced a year before we had the final product. The original gown was a semi-sheer silk and used a whopping 18 yards. The skirt took most of this, nine panels each about 1.75 yards long with a deep hem, gathered to the waistband. The remaining fabric was used for the bodice and the circular-cut ruffles. To reproduce this gown, I'd suggest silk crepe de chine or cotton voile. Both are semi-sheer, but one is silk and so closer to the film, and the other is a lesser expensive cotton.
