These are 10 of the best espresso makers and accessories on sale now. Another possibility is that it was auctioned off in the MGM auction. We do know, however, that quite a few Wizard of Oz costumes were sold during this auction - so if it was sold off, this would have been when it happened.
Were any other Oz costumes found and cataloged? We know that he found a couple additional pairs of ruby slippers and Dorothy costumes which he kept for himself and sold privately later.
These shoes recently went up for auction. Did he sell it or give it away to someone? If it is in private hands, we likely will not know about it unless someone comes forward, or if it some day comes up for auction. You can also see some interesting footage of the auction here. Is there any record of the gown being used in other films other than San Francisco and The Wizard of Oz ?
There has been some suggestion that the gown has also been used on Jeanette MacDonald in Sweethearts on Miliza Korjus in The Great Waltz and on Lana Turner in Ziegfeld Girl , though I have yet to find any convincing photos or research to back this up. That being said, the odds that this gown went on to be pulled apart and used again are very high.
I actually recall reading about it in a book about the making of the film years and years ago when I was quite young. David J. The actresses only had height differences of about one inch, which is not terribly significant. The dress was heavily made over.
Fabric could have been added, removed and heavily altered. Basically the dress from San Francisco was used as a base to at least save Adrian time and money.
While the film spared no expense, Adrian was incredibly busy designing for the film, as the film had a large cast that had to be outfitted in custom costumes. Citizens of Oz and Citizens of Munchkin land all had custom costumes, which was a massive undertaking. Adrian pulling an already extant gown to use as a base for Glinda is absolutely not something unheard of.
Before color films became a common reality, designers had to deal with the fact that the colors from their costumes often translated differently on film.
Red simply did not photograph properly in black and white. The color white also did not always photograph properly either, and if a designer wanted to feature a white dress on screen, they very often made the dress a pale blue or a pale pink the same rule applied for linens as well!
Photos just do not do the dress justice. And he did design this gown. He had to re-work it heavily, and so you can absolutely say he designed it. But often designers would create a dress and then be given notes about what already existed in stock that could be altered to fit their vision. Just because a costume is recycled does not always mean that great care and thought did not go into its design and alteration.
The Glinda dress is iconic and would never have been recycled from a previous movie, and would not have gone on to be used again. I get this comment about this dress the most, but have received it for several other gowns as well.
Admittedly, it is difficult to sometimes comprehend that something so iconic to us was seen as ultimately disposable when it was first created. There are a few things to remember when it comes to a costume having been recycled. The first is that in order for a gown to become iconic, there has to be a passing of time.
