Hello!! Today I want to share this picture with you, this is Rita Hayworth in the movie "Affair in Trinidad" (1952). This dress she is wearing really caught my eye!
Designed by Jean Louis, a french designer that worked for Columbia Pictures from 1944 to 1960, he dressed some very important actresses such as Loretta Young, Marlene Dietrich, Marylin Monroe. And also designed Rita' s iconic dress from the movie Gilda.
Anyway I just loved the way this dress flows. It gives Rita a nice defined waist with that gorgeous gathered skirt that almost looks like a circular one, it is made out of two different color chiffon fabric. The top part of the dress has a nice drapping at the bust section that gives the dress some balance. One thing about black and white movies is that you can never tell (unless you research or find a picture in color) what color the dress was!. I imagine this being a nice soft coral hue dress. Love the 50s wide skirt evening gowns, they inspire me so much.
Hope you enjoyed this post :)
