I agree every single dress...Wonderful post Claudia! I agree every single dress you have listed are very beautiful and I would also want in my wardrobe. One I absolutely adore is the white satin gown Jean Harlow wears in Dinner at Eight. It's simple but very stunning.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971895287232369446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644541939534301073.post-87517615887405607202012-04-08T10:14:40.201-07:002012-04-08T10:14:40.201-07:00Thanks Steph!

Yeh Harlow's dress is gorgeous in Public Enemies - you can see why Scorcese got designer's to copy that dress for Gwen Stefani when she portrayed Harlow in The Aviator! Bette Davis' dress is really stunning, and only she could made it look that good, it was perfect for her. The Lombard dress I'm not really fussed on. As for Grace's red dress, it is lovely, but again I wasn't keen on it, I thought it wasn't too flattering on the bust, made Grace look a bit too skinny. But we all think differently!TheClaudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658904647427839196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644541939534301073.post-70441732834562984802012-04-08T08:01:42.701-07:002012-04-08T08:01:42.701-07:00Hi there Claudia! Now that's what I'm talk...Hi there Claudia! Now that's what I'm talking about : gowns! Love all your picks, but my faves are :<br />-Marilyn Monroe's see-through dress in "Some like it hot", it could only have been worn by her! Apparently, she was pregnant while making the film and so the costume couldn't be tied at the back, so they left the back of the dress as it was!<br /><br />-Jean Harlow's dress in "Public Enemy" when she has that monologue and hugs James Cagney while stroking his face. I've always had a fascination for 1930s gowns, they had the most luscious patterns and slick trains, and it must have felt unbelievable to feel that cloth against their skin!<br /><br />-Carole Lombard's dress at the beginning of "To Be or not to be" during the rehearsal of the play! So inappropriate for the play but love it!<br /><br />-Bette Davis' dress in "Now Voyager" when she finds back Jerry after coming home. It's a white gown with camelias attached to it, with that great updo!<br /><br />-Grace Kelly's lace red gown at the beginning of Dial M For Murder : red for a passionate fiery icy blonde and lace to make it classy and chic, LOVE IT! Mymom literally drooled at that dress!Foulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884465869755720069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644541939534301073.post-60307466801773758072012-04-07T15:47:42.177-07:002012-04-07T15:47:42.177-07:00Aww thank you :) And I'm so glad you agree wit...Aww thank you :) And I'm so glad you agree with my choices!

Outfits are half the fun of watching movies and these gowns just made the movies that they're in even more memorable and special.
