This fashion plate is from the September 1866 Godey's Ladies Book.  Look closely at the red & white strip dress for Walter Plunkett's inspiration for Scarlett's version.   Note the green bolero jacket behind it whihc was used for this dress and the stripe bodice at the far left which shows up as Scarlett's Red & White Christmas with Ashley dress.

~Inquire about Life size reproductions~

If  you are interested in having any of the life size Gone With the Wind reproduction costumes ( gowns etc. ) please email us with your current dress size and height and the costume you are interested in replicating. We will send you back a measurement chart for fitting. We are not limited to Scarlett costumes. If you would like any of the other dresses or costumes from GWTW or other films we can discuss recreating them for you. Please send you inquiries about life-size dresses etc. to gwtw4ever2@earthlink.net.

~Gown Prices~

Since the figuring of the costs for one of these replicas can be time consuming taking many hours of research into current fabric costs, we will quote you the recent  charges for a few of the film dresses.
